Maintaining a clean Ontario home—whether you’re in Toronto, Mississauga, or another small town—is all about having the right kind of cleaning: regular cleaning or deep cleaning.
They both have a meaning. But it is more of selecting the proper one based on your lifestyle, health requirements, province of residence, and season. Since seasons of Ontario change, so do your house cleaning requirements.
Regular Cleaning: Everyday Maintenance
Regular cleaning is merely keeping the top of your home clean. It usually encompasses dusting, vacuuming, mopping, wiping down surfaces, and keeping bathrooms and kitchens.
Take regular cleaning as your bi-weekly or weekly maintenance—ideal for working professionals, active families.
Example – A working client in Brampton with two school-aged children utilizes our regular cleaning service every two weeks. We clean their bathroom, kitchen counter, vacuum, and dust for them a bit. It keeps their home tidy without their sacrificing valuable weekend time scrubbing.
Regular cleaning is ideal for:
- Daily upkeep
- Professionals or parents who are busy
- Between tenants in rented properties
- Minimizing surface grime and clutter
Deep Cleaning: A Thorough, Detailed Restart
Deep cleaning is not surface cleaning. It addresses unseen dirt, grime, and bacteria in hidden or inaccessible spaces such as the back of appliances, baseboards, vents, light fixtures, and between grout.
We suggest deep cleaning 2–4 times annually, particularly in the Ontario climate where pollen, salt, and humidity change with the season.
Example – One of our Kingston homeowners called us after some musty odors in her basement and stuck-on kitchen grease. Our team gave an all-around deep clean: baseboard cleaning, vent dusting, appliance cleaning behind, and deep bathroom cleans. Her home wasn’t cleaner—it felt new.
Deep cleaning is perfect when:
- It’s your first pro clean in months
- Preparing for a season change
- Moving into or out of a home
- Allergy or asthma problems are present
- Following major renovations or events
- Post-party or build-out
What Service Do You Need?
Ask yourself:
- Has your home been professionally cleaned in the past 3–6 months?
- Are dust, allergies, or odors surfacing?
- Do you desire cleanliness or a redo?
Maintenance only needs regular cleaning. But if you need a do-over or a clean for health, begin with a deep clean—and then revert to normal cleaning in an attempt to keep it up.
Example – A household in Guelph booked a spring deep clean and then booked monthly regular clean. Another in Scarborough with young children booked a pre-flu season deep clean, bi-weekly targeted disinfecting. Both were specific to their lifestyle.
