What a Professional Deep Cleaning Includes, Room by Room

A professional deep clean covers everything in a standard clean, room by room, and then adds the detail work that regular visits leave out: blinds, sliding doors and their tracks, the inside of the oven and fridge, cabinets inside and out, doors, behind and under movable furniture, and steam-cleaned tile floors. Here is what that looks like in each room, based on the checklist Coastal Breeze Maids works from.

Not Included Unless You Add It

Washing indoor windows, changing linens, doing dishes, lanai furniture and floors, and cleaning the grill aren’t part of a deep clean, but any of them can be added. See add-ons and extras and which add-ons make sense and what costs extra.

Common Questions

Is a deep clean the same as a move-out clean?

They overlap, but a move-out clean is done in an empty home, ready for the next owner or tenant. See move-in and move-out cleaning.

Does a deep clean include organizing?

No. The team cleans; picking up clutter beforehand lets them spend the time on cleaning.

Does it include the inside of the oven and fridge?

Yes. Both are on the deep-clean list.
