Understanding the difference between cleaning types ensures your home gets the care it actually needs and sets the right expectations from day one.

• Deep Clean:
  This goes beyond regular maintenance to tackle buildup, hidden dust, and neglected areas (like baseboards and ceiling fans). It is best for first-time cleans, move-ins, seasonal resets, or homes that haven't been professionally cleaned in 2 to 3 months.
  
  Ask yourself:
  
  

• Do I notice buildup on baseboards & fixtures?

• Has it been more than 8 weeks?

• Am I embarrassed about certain areas?

• Am I preparing to sell, or move soon?
  
  

If Yes, Book a Deep Clean

• Standard Clean:
  Designed to maintain a home that is already in good shape. It is ideal for homes on a recurring schedule (like biweekly or monthly) or those that have been professionally cleaned within the last 4 to 6 weeks.
  
  Ask yourself:
  
  

• Has my home been professionally cleaned recently?

• Are we mostly keeping up with clutter and buildup?

• Do I just need help staying on top of things?
  
  

If Yes, a Standard Clean is likely the right fit.


What Affects the Price?

Cleaning costs are determined by the size of your home, its current condition (the "level of love" needed), and the type of clean. The price also reflects overhead costs that protect you: companies using fully insured, living-wage employees typically cost more than those using independent contractors. Additionally, a premium service will usually supply all of its own high-quality equipment and non-toxic products so you don't have to provide a thing.

Your Scoring Guide

• 10–16 Points (The Budget-Conscious / Casual):
  Look for an independent, solo house cleaner. Highly affordable and flexible, but typically lacks commercial insurance or backup if they get sick.
  
  

• 17–23 Points (The Balance):
  Look for a standard mid-tier cleaning agency. You get a fair price, basic insurance, and a small team, without paying for luxury-level systems.
  
  

• 24–30 Points (The Premium / Systems-Driven):
  Look for a high-end service. You value the security of fully employed staff, WSIB coverage, living wages, eco-friendly products, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
