7 Signs It's Time for a Deep Clean

Even the cleanest homes need a true, thorough deep clean now and then. Here's how to tell when it's time.

Cat under a bed, a spot regular cleaning often misses

Dirt, dust, bacteria and buildup love to hide where everyday cleaning can't reach. When those areas are ignored too long, they affect your comfort and your health.

1. You're noticing more allergies

Dust mites, pet dander and allergens build up in carpets, vents, under furniture and along baseboards. If your family is sneezing more at home, it's time. What we do: vacuum in layers, including under furniture, clean vents and hand-wash baseboards.

2. Your house smells lived-in, even after you clean

Lingering odours often come from garbage disposals, grime behind toilets, food under appliances or forgotten pet spots. What we do: deep-clean kitchens, bathrooms and appliances to remove hidden odour sources.

3. High-touch areas feel sticky

Light switches, cupboard handles and railings collect oils, dirt and bacteria. What we do: disinfect every high-touch area, including handles, switches and drawer pulls.

4. You're planning a move

A regular clean won't cut it if you want your deposit back or a great first impression. Move-in/move-out cleaning includes inside appliances, cabinets, walls, trim and window tracks.

5. You see stains and grime you can't scrub away

Shower tile stains, soap scum and grease above the stove need the right products and experience. What we do: scrub grout, corners and buildup by hand with safe, effective solutions.

6. You haven't cleaned behind or under furniture in months

What we do: move light furniture and clean underneath, behind and around hard-to-reach areas.

7. You're overwhelmed and don't know where to start

Maybe your home looks clean-ish but doesn't feel clean. That's okay. There's a reason we've been in business since 1986.
