Deep Clean vs. Standard Clean: What’s the Difference?
Quick answer: A standard clean keeps an already-tidy home fresh: kitchens, bathrooms, dusting and floors. A deep clean goes further, scrubbing baseboards, grout, blinds, door frames and built-up areas by hand. At Dimples Cleaning, standard cleaning starts at $99 and deep cleaning starts at $199.

When to choose a deep clean
- It’s your first professional cleaning, or it’s been a few months.
- Spring cleaning or getting ready for holidays and guests.
- Before starting recurring service, so each visit keeps the home at that level.
- After a renovation, illness, or a busy season with kids and pets.
When a standard clean is enough
If your home is cleaned every week or two, a standard clean keeps it fresh. Most of our recurring clients get a deep clean first, then standard cleans after that.
Moving out?
Choose move-in/move-out cleaning. It includes everything in a deep clean plus the inside of appliances, cabinets, drawers and closets.
