A deep cleaning is the most thorough service most cleaning companies offer — but "deep cleaning" means very different things at different companies. Here's what you should expect from a real one in Los Angeles.
The kitchen
Inside the microwave, oven, and fridge if requested. Behind appliances. Cabinet faces wiped down. Backsplash de-greased. Sink drain treated. Range hood and filter cleaned.
The bathrooms
Hard-water scale removed from glass doors, fixtures, and tile. Grout brushed. Toilets disinfected (including the base and behind). Vent covers dusted. Mirrors streak-free.
The bedrooms
Baseboards wiped. Under-bed vacuumed. Ceiling fans and light fixtures dusted. Doors and door frames spot-cleaned. Closet floors vacuumed.
Living areas
Cushions vacuumed and rotated. Behind and under furniture. Window sills, blinds, and tracks wiped. Vents dusted. Spot-cleaning of high-touch areas.
How long it takes
Plan on 4–8 hours for most LA homes. Larger homes (3,000+ sq ft) can run a full day or require a second visit.
