Deep cleaning for Toronto homes that need more than a wipe-down
The clean for the things you have stopped seeing. Baseboards, door frames, grout, hard-water film on the glass, the greasy shadow above the stove, the dust on top of the fridge.
A deep clean is a standard clean plus everything a standard clean deliberately skips for time. It is slower, more detailed, and it resets a home so that regular cleaning can actually keep up afterwards.
Most people book one when they have not had a cleaner in a while, before hosting, at the change of seasons, or as the first visit before starting a recurring schedule.
What gets added on top of a standard clean
Baseboards and door frames hand-wiped rather than skipped. Light switches, door handles and railings sanitised. Inside the microwave. Behind and beside the stove and fridge where we can safely move them. Hard-water and soap-scum removal on shower glass, tile and taps. Cabinet fronts degreased. Vents and returns dusted. Window sills and tracks cleared. Skirting, corners and edges where dust builds into a line.
Toronto homes have specific problems
Our water is hard, so shower glass and chrome build a white film that regular cleaning does not shift and abrasive scrubbing permanently scratches. It needs the right acid and dwell time.
Older houses across the east and west ends have painted wood trim, original baseboards and radiators that collect dust in places a vacuum will not reach. Downtown condos have the opposite problem: forced-air systems that throw fine dust onto every high horizontal surface, plus balcony doors that track in grit.
How long it takes and what it costs
Budget roughly 1.5 times a standard clean in both time and price. A one-bedroom condo is usually 4 to 5 hours; a three-bedroom house often takes a two-person team most of a day. The calculator prices deep cleans directly, so you can compare the two side by side before booking.

About deep cleaning
What is the difference between a deep clean and a standard clean?
A standard clean maintains a home that is already in decent shape. A deep clean resets one that is not. The deep clean adds baseboards, door frames, inside the microwave, behind appliances, hard-water and soap-scum removal, cabinet fronts, vents and window tracks, and takes roughly 50% longer.
Should my first clean be a deep clean?
If you have not had a professional cleaner in the last three months, yes. It is not an upsell reflex: a standard clean on a home with real buildup uses the whole visit fighting the backlog and the result disappoints everyone. Reset once, then maintain.
Do you clean inside the oven and fridge on a deep clean?
They stay optional add-ons even on a deep clean. Oven interiors need a caustic product and long dwell time, and fridges need to be emptied first, so both are priced separately rather than assumed. Tick them in the calculator and they are included in your flat price.
Can a deep clean remove mould in my bathroom?
We remove surface mildew on tile, grout and silicone. We do not do mould remediation. If mould is growing behind drywall, under flooring or through a ceiling, that is a moisture problem and needs a remediation contractor, not a cleaner. We will tell you plainly if that is what we are seeing.
