Short answer
Most homes need a full deep clean every six months, ideally in spring and autumn. Busy kitchens, homes with pets and shared houses benefit from a deep clean every three to four months. Some tasks, such as cleaning the oven or descaling the shower, are worth doing more often.

When should you deep clean more often?
- You have pets that shed.
- Someone in the home has allergies.
- It is a shared house or busy family home.

Regular cleaning makes deep cleans easier
Homes that are cleaned weekly need lighter, quicker deep cleans. Most of our regular clients book a deep clean twice a year, in spring and before Christmas.
