Regular (maintenance) clean
A regular clean keeps an already-maintained home tidy: dusting, vacuuming and mopping floors, wiping surfaces, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, emptying bins. It's quick and ideal weekly or fortnightly.
Deep clean
A deep clean is far more thorough and reaches the spots a regular clean skips:
- Inside cupboards, the oven, fridge and microwave
- Behind and under furniture and appliances
- Skirtings, door frames, light fittings and switches
- Windows, tracks and sills
- Tiles, grout and full bathroom/kitchen sanitising
- Cobweb removal and detailed dusting
When to book a deep clean
- Before moving into a new home
- After a renovation or build (see post-build cleaning)
- As a seasonal "spring clean" reset
- Before or after hosting, or before a home goes on the market
Time and cost
A deep clean of a standard 3-bedroom home takes a team of two about 4–6 hours and costs roughly R900–R2,200. After the first deep clean, regular cleans keep it that way for much less.
