What is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning is an intensive, thorough cleaning service that addresses areas not covered in regular janitorial service. While your daily or weekly cleaning maintains cleanliness, deep cleaning tackles built-up grime, forgotten areas, and detailed work that keeps your facility in top condition.
Think of it as a "reset" for your space - restoring areas that accumulate dust and soil over time despite regular cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should we schedule deep cleaning?
Most commercial facilities benefit from quarterly deep cleaning in addition to regular janitorial service. High-traffic areas may need monthly deep cleaning, while some spaces can extend to semi-annual schedules.
What's included in a commercial deep clean?
Deep cleaning includes all regular cleaning tasks plus detailed work like baseboard cleaning, light fixture dusting, high dusting, interior window washing, thorough carpet extraction, furniture cleaning, and sanitization of often-missed areas.
Can you deep clean during business hours?
While we can perform some deep cleaning tasks during business hours, most intensive work (carpet extraction, floor stripping) is best done after hours or on weekends to avoid disruption and allow proper drying time.
