What’s the Difference Between Standard, Deep, and Move-Out Cleaning?

If you’ve been browsing cleaning services in Seattle, you’ve probably come across terms like standard cleaning, deep cleaning, and move-out cleaning. And if you’re like most people, you’re wondering, “What’s actually the difference?” Don’t worry — we’ve got you. This post will walk you through each service in plain English so you know exactly what to book.

Standard Cleaning (the ‘keep my house together’ clean)

This is your basic, ongoing cleaning. Think of it as the reset button for your home. It’s perfect for people who want to keep their space looking good without spending their weekend vacuuming. A standard clean usually includes wiping down kitchen counters, scrubbing sinks and tubs, cleaning toilets, dusting surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, and taking out the trash. It’s great for weekly or bi-weekly maintenance — especially if you’ve got a busy schedule and just need someone to help keep the place under control.

Deep Cleaning (when your house needs a little extra love)

Deep cleaning is a step up. It’s for when you need more than just a quick surface clean. If you haven’t had a professional cleaning in a while, or you’re hosting guests, or you just feel like your home needs a serious refresh — this is the one. Deep cleaning includes everything in a standard clean, but we also get into the baseboards, blinds, window sills, light fixtures, and more detailed dusting. We’ll clean inside the microwave, scrub places you didn’t know collected grime, and generally bring your home back to life.

Move-Out Cleaning (the ‘get my deposit back’ clean)

Move-out cleaning is the most detailed service we offer. This is for completely empty homes — whether you're moving out of a rental or preparing a house for sale. It includes everything from a deep clean, plus we clean the inside of the fridge, oven, cabinets, drawers, closets, and more. We go room by room and make sure the space is spotless, just like you’d want if you were handing the keys over to someone new. If you’re a renter, this is the clean that helps you get your deposit back. If you’re a homeowner, this is how you leave things with pride.

Still Not Sure Which One You Need?

Totally fair. If you’re in between or not sure what level of clean your place really needs, just shoot us a quick text or send us some photos — we’ll let you know what we recommend, no pressure.
