Deep Cleaning vs. Regular Cleaning: What's Actually Different?

A deep clean resets a home from scratch — inside appliances, cupboard interiors, built-up grime in bathrooms and kitchens — while a regular clean simply maintains a space that's already tidy. They're not two price points on the same service; they're genuinely different jobs.

What a Deep Clean actually resets

• Inside every appliance — oven, fridge, microwave, not just the visible exterior
• Cupboard and cabinet interiors, not just the counters around them
• Baseboards, skirting and light switches, dusted and wiped
• Bathroom grout and built-up grime, not just a surface wipe
• Every room, vacuumed and mopped from a genuinely blank slate

What a regular (recurring) clean maintains

Recurring cleaning covers the surfaces and rooms that get used day to day — tidying, dusting, vacuuming, kitchen and bathroom upkeep — at a lighter scope and lower cost per visit than a Deep Clean, on a standing weekly or bi-weekly schedule. It's designed to maintain a standard a Deep Clean already set, not reset one that's slipped.

Price reflects the actual difference in scope

Deep Cleaning starts from R1,200 for 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Recurring House Cleaning starts from R750 for the same size property — not because it's a discount on the same job, but because it genuinely is a lighter job, done more often.
