The Difference Between Standard & Deep Cleans

At Sophisticated Cleaners, we know every home has unique needs. Whether you’re looking to maintain your space with a standard clean or need a more thorough deep clean, it’s important to understand what each service includes. In this post, we’ll break down the key differences between our standard and deep cleans so you can choose the right option for your home.

1. What’s Included in a Standard Clean?

Our standard clean covers all the essentials: dusting surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, wiping down countertops, cleaning the bathrooms, and tidying up living areas. It’s perfect for regular maintenance to keep your home looking its best.

2. What’s Included in a Deep Clean?

Deep cleans take care of those often-overlooked details: scrubbing grout, cleaning inside cabinets and appliances, wiping baseboards, and tackling built-up grime. It’s ideal for spring cleaning, move-in/move-out, or whenever you want a truly fresh start.

3. Time & Cost Comparison

Standard cleans typically take 1–2 hours, depending on the size of your home, while deep cleans can take 3–5 hours or more. Because of the extra labor and attention to detail, deep cleans are priced higher—but the result is a level of cleanliness you won’t get with a standard clean.

4. When to Schedule Each

For most homes, a standard clean every 1–2 weeks keeps your space fresh. Plan a deep clean seasonally or before special events, or whenever you notice buildup in hard-to-reach areas. Combine both for ongoing maintenance and a thorough reset.
