Deep cleaning is one of the most searched-for services among cleaning companies in Nairobi, but it’s often misunderstood. Here are the questions we hear most often about what a proper deep clean actually involves.
What’s the difference between deep cleaning and regular house cleaning?
Regular house cleaning maintains a generally clean home through routine tasks like dusting, vacuuming, and surface wiping. Deep cleaning goes further — addressing built-up grime in places routine cleaning doesn’t reach, such as behind appliances, inside cabinets, grout lines, and baseboards.
How often should I book a deep clean?
Most households benefit from a deep clean every three to six months, in addition to regular routine cleaning. Homes with pets, young children, or higher foot traffic may benefit from more frequent deep cleaning.
What’s included in a deep cleaning service?
A thorough deep clean typically includes detailed kitchen cleaning (inside cabinets, oven, fridge exterior), bathroom descaling and grout cleaning, baseboards and door frames, light fixtures, behind and under furniture where accessible, and a full floor treatment.
How long does a deep clean take compared to a regular clean?
Deep cleaning takes considerably longer than routine cleaning — often two to three times as long, depending on your home’s size and how long it’s been since the last thorough clean.
Is deep cleaning more expensive than regular cleaning?
Yes, given the additional time, detail, and sometimes specialised equipment required, deep cleaning is priced higher than routine maintenance cleaning. We’ll provide a clear quote based on your property’s size and condition.
Should I book a deep clean before or after moving into a new home?
Many clients book a deep clean before moving in, so they start in a genuinely fresh space rather than cleaning around furniture and belongings. If you’re moving out, a deep clean (or move-out specific service) is also common to prepare the property for handover.
Can deep cleaning help with allergies or dust sensitivity?
Thorough deep cleaning, which addresses dust, allergens, and buildup that routine cleaning might miss, can contribute to a healthier indoor environment, though we recommend speaking with a medical professional for specific allergy management advice.
Do you offer deep cleaning for offices as well as homes?
Yes, we offer deep cleaning for both residential and commercial properties, with the scope adjusted to the type of space and its specific cleaning challenges.
What should I do to prepare for a deep cleaning visit?
Clearing clutter and personal items from surfaces helps our team work efficiently and reach areas that need attention. Flagging any specific problem areas in advance also helps us plan the visit appropriately.
Is one-off deep cleaning the same as your “Deep Cleaning” service?
Yes, our one-off deep cleaning service refers to a single, thorough deep clean rather than an ongoing recurring arrangement — ideal for periodic maintenance or specific occasions like before moving or hosting guests.
