What Is a Deep Clean — and How Is It Different From a Regular Clean?

The difference between a regular clean and a deep clean, what a professional deep clean covers, and when your home needs one.

Most homes get a regular clean: surfaces wiped, floors vacuumed, bathroom given a once-over. That keeps things tidy day to day. A deep clean is something different — it resets your home.

Regular clean vs deep clean

A regular clean maintains a home that’s already clean. It deals with the surface: dust, crumbs, visible marks.

A deep clean removes the build-up that regular cleaning doesn’t reach — months of grease, limescale, dust and grime in the places you don’t normally get to.

What a professional deep clean includes

Kitchen

  • Hob, extractor hood and splashback degreased
  • Outside of cupboards and appliances cleaned
  • Sink and taps descaled
  • Microwave cleaned inside and out
  • Oven cleaning available as an add-on (£50 with Nestro)

Bathrooms

  • Full descaling of screens, tiles, taps and showerheads
  • Toilet, bath and basin scrubbed and sanitised
  • Mirrors, glass and chrome polished

Bedrooms and living areas

  • Skirting boards, door frames and doors
  • Light switches and handles sanitised
  • Radiators and window sills wiped
  • Upholstery vacuumed, interior windows cleaned

When does a home need a deep clean?

  • Moving into a new home
  • A seasonal “reset” — spring is the classic time
  • After a party, house guests or building work
  • Before selling, viewings or photographs
  • When one room has got on top of you

Is it the same as an end of tenancy clean?

Not quite. A deep clean is designed for a home you’re living in, so we work around your furniture and belongings. An end of tenancy clean is for an empty property you’re handing back, and includes inside every cupboard and appliance. We explain the difference in more detail in deep clean vs end of tenancy clean.

Nestro deep cleans start from £190 for a studio or one-bedroom home, with fixed prices and a 48-hour re-clean guarantee.
