What a deep clean reaches
A deep clean is the regular checklist plus everything a regular clean maintains but does not reset. Baseboards washed, not just dusted. Inside the oven and the fridge. Ceiling fan blades, light fixtures and the tops of door frames. Blinds washed slat by slat. Interior windows and their sills. Bathroom grout scrubbed and shower door tracks cleared. Furniture that moves gets moved, and the floor under it cleaned.
It takes a two-person crew three to four hours in a 3 bed, 2 bath home, roughly twice a regular visit. The crew works room by room from the checklist above and the lead cleaner walks the home with you, or sends photos, before they leave.
When a deep clean makes sense
Three times, mostly. Before the first visit of a recurring plan, because every regular visit after starts from clean. Before guests, a party or the holidays. And in spring, or any time the last deep clean was more than six months ago. Homes with pets, heavy cooking or a lot of foot traffic often book one every season.
A deep clean is also the right call for a home you are about to list for sale and still live in. If the home is empty and the cabinets are bare, book a move-out clean instead; it includes inside every cabinet and closet.
What it costs
Deep cleans are priced at 1.6 times the regular rate for your bedrooms, bathrooms and size. A 2 bed, 1 bath apartment runs about $220. A 3 bed, 2 bath home runs about $285 to $345, and a 4 bed, 2.5 bath house around $400. Heavy soil, a lot of clutter or a home that has not been cleaned in a year or more is re-quoted on arrival, before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the bill.
If you start a recurring plan within 30 days of a deep clean, your first recurring visit is at the recurring rate, not the first-clean rate, because the deep clean already did that work.
Who does it and what we bring
The same background-checked, uniformed, insured crews who do our recurring cleans. We bring every product and tool, including the degreaser for the oven and a grout brush for the bathrooms, and we default to plant-based products everywhere else. Tell us about allergies or preferences when you book.
The Fernway 24-Hour Guarantee applies: anything missed from the checklist is re-cleaned free if you tell us within a day.
