What is the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?
Short answer
A regular (standard) clean is upkeep: dusting, floors, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, mirrors and trash. A deep clean goes further into buildup: grease on the stovetop and backsplash, soap scum and tile, baseboards, door frames and high-touch spots. Book a deep clean first if it has been a month or more, then keep it up with regular cleans.

Is a deep clean worth it? ▾
Usually yes for a first clean, because it resets the home so regular cleans can keep it there for less.
