Deep Cleaning vs. Standard Cleaning: What’s the Difference & Which One Do You Need?

July 8, 2025

Let’s be honest—life gets busy, and keeping up with your home’s cleanliness can be overwhelming. Whether you're preparing for guests, moving out, or just tired of scrubbing baseboards on a Saturday, it might be time to call in the pros.


But here’s the common question we get at Guevara Painting & Cleaning Services:


 “What’s the difference between standard cleaning and deep cleaning?”


Let’s break it down, so you can choose the service that best fits your home and your needs.

What Is Standard Cleaning?

Think of this as your routine maintenance clean. It’s great for keeping your space looking neat, tidy, and livable on a regular basis.


Our standard house cleaning service typically includes:

  • Dusting surfaces
  • Vacuuming and mopping floors
  • Cleaning countertops
  • Wiping down appliances
  • Sanitizing bathrooms (toilets, sinks, mirrors)
  • Light kitchen cleaning



Perfect for:
 ✅ Weekly or bi-weekly home maintenance
 ✅ Busy professionals or families
 ✅ Airbnb or rental refreshes

What Is Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning goes far beyond surface-level. It's a top-to-bottom scrub that reaches the spots you don't see every day—but definitely need attention.


Our deep cleaning service includes everything from the standard cleaning list, plus:

  • Scrubbing baseboards, door frames, and window sills
  • Cleaning inside appliances (microwave, fridge, oven)
  • Dusting ceiling fans and vents
  • Washing walls (if needed)
  • Polishing fixtures
  • Removing built-up grime and hard-to-reach dust



Ideal for:
 ✅ Move-ins / move-outs
 ✅ Spring cleaning
 ✅ Pre-event cleaning
 ✅ First-time clients who haven’t had a professional clean in a while
