When searching for a cleaning service or a cleaning company, many companies and services will appear in your area. However when choosing a cleaning service, it’s important to choose the right one. Many cleaning agencies offer multiple different cleaning services ranging from commercial cleaning to house cleaning and even maid services. To decide which cleaning service is best for you, we’ll take a closer look into what each service offers.

Deep Cleaning

A deep cleaning service is typically done on residential homes. Deep cleaning focuses on highly used areas of your home like bathrooms and the kitchen. This type of cleaning differs from standard home cleaning in that the cleaner focuses on removing grime and dirt from hard-to-reach areas such as under sinks, behind bookshelves, and inside cabinets.

If you schedule a deep cleaning, you can expect the cleaning company to offer the following:

• Dusting or washing the blinds
• Wipe down the inside of closets and cupboards
• Wipe out the inside of the washer and dryer
• Scrubbing the baseboards
• Wipe down doors, doorknobs and door frames
• Spot cleaning walls (full wall washing is a project on its own)
• Window cleaning
• Clean out drawers and wipe down inside cabinets
• Clean the inside of the oven
• Wash the inside of the fridge and freezer

Move In or Move Out Cleaning

Move in or out cleaning can often be referred to as a vacancy cleaning service. Moving is stressful which is why most cleaning companies offer a moving cleaning service to take one thing off the mover’s busy plate. 

Move in or out cleaning is basically deep cleaning, as the cleaners target the entire home and remove hardened dirt and grime. If you have specific requirements or rooms you need cleaned, you should always discuss them with your cleaning company before the booking. 

Routine Cleaning

In this type of cleaning service, the cleaners come routinely (typically weekly, biweekly or monthly) and do a standard clean to your home. Because routine cleaning is more frequent, the focus of the service is on maintaining the home’s cleanliness and tidiness.

Most routine cleaning services consist of the following:

• Wiping down windows and mirrors
• Vacuuming all carpets and rugs
• Cleaning the kitchen – taking out the trash and wiping surfaces
• Tidying up the house
• Sweeping and mopping floors
• Removing cobwebs from corners of rooms
• Wiping surfaces including appliances and fixtures
• Cleaning the bathrooms – bath, toilet, sink, mirrors

Maid Service or Housekeeping Service

A maid service or housekeeping service is the best option if you have specific requests that aren’t usually included in standard house cleaning. Most housekeepers or maids who provide house cleaning not only perform the tasks listed above, but also assist with household chores such as laundry and dishes. However, they are limited in what they can do.

Caregiving is not the same as housekeeping, cleaning, or maid service. If you need a caregiver to help with both caregiving and cleaning, you should hire a caregiver who also cleans rather than a cleaner who also provides care. The majority of cleaning service providers do not provide caregiving.
