Deep cleaning is a one-off, detailed clean that goes beyond regular cleaning. Also known as a once-off clean or spring clean, it's the service to pick when the whole home needs attention in a single visit. It removes built-up grime in high-impact areas like kitchens and bathrooms, and covers the details standard cleans miss - skirting boards, switches, edges and corners. Done seasonally, this is what most people call spring cleaning. A deep clean typically takes 3–6 hours with a team of two, and it's ideal before guests, after renovations, or whenever your Melbourne home needs more than a regular clean.

What's included in our home deep cleaning service
In every room: we dust and wipe reachable surfaces, wipe doors, skirting boards, light switches and handles, remove cobwebs within reach, move light furniture to clean behind it, and vacuum carpets and rugs or vacuum and mop hard floors, edges and corners included.
It’s an hourly service, so the team works through your priorities in order and tells you on arrival what the booked time will cover. Inside windows, frames and sills can be done on request within your booked hours, where reachable, and the fridge needs to be emptied and defrosted before an inside clean. Changing bed linen isn’t part of a deep clean - it’s included in our regular house cleaning. Every team brings high-quality detergents and professional equipment, and normally a small step-ladder for high surfaces within reach.

The deep cleaning process in Melbourne
1. Initial walk-through
The cleaners inspect your property, note priority areas, and confirm how much can be covered in the booked time.
2. Detailed cleaning session
They dust, vacuum, mop, and disinfect all requested areas - tackling hard-to-reach spots, skirting boards, grout, ovens, fridges, cupboards, and more.
3. Time-based flexibility
Deep cleaning is hourly, so the team completes as much as possible within the booked hours. For larger or heavily soiled homes, extra time may be recommended.
4. Final check
Once the job is complete, you review the results with the cleaners to ensure everything meets your expectations.
Deep cleaning in Melbourne typically takes 3-6 hours with a team of two professional cleaners (depending on property size/condition). It's an hourly-based service, meaning the cleaners prioritise your chosen areas and complete as much as possible in the booked time.
Unlike regular cleaning services, deep cleans include detailed tasks such as oven and fridge cleaning, cupboards inside and out, grout and skirting board scrubbing, and cobweb removal - giving your home a full reset and a healthier living environment.
