What Is Included in a Deep House Cleaning?
A detailed room-by-room checklist showing exactly what professional cleaners include in a deep house cleaning.

Deep cleaning reaches what routine cleaning misses
A deep house cleaning is more than a longer standard clean. It targets the build-up that happens slowly over time: dust on baseboards, grime in grout, grease on cabinet fronts and fingerprints on door frames. If you have not had a professional cleaning in the last three months, your home probably needs this level of detail.
At Brazilian Standard Cleaning, our deep cleaning follows a room-by-room checklist so nothing is missed. Here is exactly what is included.
Kitchen
Deep kitchen cleaning includes:
- Everything in a standard kitchen clean
- Degreasing cabinet fronts and drawer fronts
- Cleaning behind and under accessible appliances
- Scrubbing backsplash grout and corners
- Removing hard-water deposits from sink and faucet
Bathrooms
Deep bathroom cleaning includes:
- Everything in a standard bathroom clean
- Scrubbing shower grout, tile and glass doors

Living areas and bedrooms

What is not included
Deep cleaning does not include mold remediation, biohazard cleanup, exterior windows, heavy lifting, pest removal or wall washing beyond light spot cleaning. Those services require specialized equipment, licensing or a different scope of work.
If your home needs add-ons like inside refrigerator, inside oven, interior windows or laundry, those can be added to your deep cleaning quote.
Frequently asked questions

- Most homes between 1,500 and 2,500 sq. ft. take 4 to 8 hours for a deep cleaning, depending on condition and add-ons.
