What is the difference between a basic cleaning and a deep cleaning?

Our professional deep-cleaning service is designed for homes that have not been thoroughly cleaned within the past 30-60 days and will take two or more hours in addition to a basic cleaning to complete. Our deep-cleaning service covers areas that are not covered in a basic clean-service such as wet wiping baseboards, degreasing kitchen appliances, and heavy scrubbing of the bathroom.

What's included in a deep cleaning?

Wet wiping:

What products do you use?

Dream Clean uses eco-friendly cleaning products. As a professional-service company, we have your health in mind. We also take the health and well-being of our cleaners’ very seriously and try to reduce exposing our cleaners to harmful chemicals on a consistent basis. This way, we are able to maintain the air quality of your home environment and a happy and healthy workforce. During a deep-clean, some homes may require more of a agressive approach. In these circumstances, we may often need stronger cleaning products such as bleach products to remove mold from kitchens and bathrooms and non-eco-friendly oven cleaner to remove baked-on messes. We also have pet friendly cleaning products upon request.

How do I know if I need a deep cleaning?

Before starting recurring service with Dream Clean Standard, we strongly recommend a deep-cleaning as your first appointment. Why? A deep cleaning gives our team of dedicated professional cleaners a strong foundation to maintain your home from.
