If you’re the type of person that keeps a very clean home, there likely isn’t too much of a need for a deep clean, unless there are some areas that don’t quite get cleaned thoroughly as often as you’d like, such as the cooker or refrigerator, for example. However, if regular cleaning isn’t really your bag, there will definitely be a need for a deep clean, but how often should you do it?


To give you a better idea of whether your home would benefit from a deep clean, and if so, how you should go about doing it, here is a brief guide:


What exactly is deep cleaning?

Comprised of all the larger cleaning tasks that typically don’t get done every day, week or even month, a deep clean can include things like cleaning behind the refrigerator, and cleaning the oven or the windows and frames. Because these tasks take a little longer when done properly, they do require some planning, but they’re essential for a truly clean home. 


Why do you need to deep clean?

Out of sight out of mind might be your idea of cleaning, but if there is any dirt and dust built up anywhere in your home, then unfortunately it can’t be described as truly clean, and may even present health issues. Air quality is something that more and more of us are conscious of these days, and with so many of us suffering from allergies and other respiratory ailments, keeping dust to a minimum – no matter where it is in the home – is only ever going to benefit us. 


How can you tell when your home needs a deep clean?

If you start looking behind furniture, and into every corner of your home, you’ll probably find dust, dirt and even the beginnings of mold; this is when a deep cleaning is needed, and it will give you the peace of mind that your home is not only clean, but safe. 


How often should you deep clean your home?

For the average home, a deep clean should take place at least once a year, or every six months, and this is usually necessary even if you think your home is clean.


What should you include in a deep clean?

A truly deep clean means getting into every neglected corner of your home, and while this can take time and effort, it’s always worth it. Many people choose to hire a cleaning service to deep clean their home, not only because it saves them from having to do it, but because they know it will get done properly. With their tried and tested techniques, special tools and all the best know-how, a cleaning service will have your home thoroughly and hygienically in a fraction of the time it would probably take you to do it, and once you see the standard of their work, you might even decide – as many people do – to use their services more regularly. 


If deep cleaning is a prospect you simply can’t face, hire a professional cleaning company and have them get your home hygienically clean, as and when needed.
