It’s the question we get asked more than any other. Both are thorough, top-to-bottom cleans — but they’re designed for different situations.
The short answer
A deep clean is for a home you’re living in. An end of tenancy clean is for a property you’re handing back.
Side by side
| Deep clean | End of tenancy | |
|---|---|---|
| Property | Lived in, furnished | Empty |
| Inside oven | Optional extra (£50) | Included |
| Inside cupboards & wardrobes | Not included | Included |
| Inside fridge / freezer | Optional extra | Included |
| Washing machine & dishwasher | Not included | Included |
| Cleaned to inventory standard | No | Yes |
| Best for | Refreshing your home | Getting your deposit back |
Choose a deep clean if…
- You’re staying in the property
- You want a seasonal reset or a clean before guests
- You’ve just moved in and want everything fresh
- Only one or two rooms need serious attention
Choose an end of tenancy clean if…
- You’re moving out of a rented property
- You’re a landlord or agent preparing for new tenants
- The property will be inspected against an inventory
