Cleaning Services in OttawaDeep Cleaning services in Ottawa for residential properties that need more than a standard clean: a one-time reset for buildup in the places regular visits only touch lightly.

Home / Deep Cleaning
The scope
A deep clean takes the standard checklist and adds slower, detailed work where grime gathers over months. There is no single agreed definition of the term, so two companies can sell very different jobs under the same name. The task list, not the label, tells you what you are buying.
Timing
A deep clean suits a home with visible buildup, a long gap since the last clean, or a fresh start before regular visits. It is not a repair, a renovation clean or a mould remedy.
Moving out? An empty home is a different job. See the Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning page.
Included
Detailed work in the places that regular visits only touch lightly.
Compare
A regular clean maintains. A deep clean restores.
| Regular clean | Deep clean | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Keeps a maintained home clean | Resets a home with buildup |
| Focus | Visible surfaces, floors, kitchen and bathrooms | Edges, fixtures, grout and grease |
| Quote basis | Home size and chosen extras | Size, condition, last-clean date and agreed scope |
| Best for | Ongoing upkeep | A one-off reset |
Before recurring visits
A deep clean is not always needed, and this is our own view rather than an industry rule. A home that has been kept up may not need one. A home with heavy buildup, pet hair or a long gap since the last clean often does, because a standard visit is designed to maintain a clean home rather than restore one.
Scope at a glance
Tasks sort into part of a deep clean, optional extras, and outside the service.
| Task | Part of a deep clean | Ask when quoting | Not included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseboards, door frames, fixtures | Typically | ||
| Bathroom grout and tile detail | Typically | ||
| Kitchen degreasing | Typically | ||
| Inside oven or fridge | Yes | ||
| Inside cabinets, blinds, interior windows | Yes | ||
| Mould removal | Yes | ||
| Biohazard cleanup, hoarding, exterior windows | Yes | ||
| Heavy furniture moving | Yes |
Each exclusion has a reason. Mould is covered in the exclusions on our House Cleaning page. Biohazard cleanup and hoarding clean-outs are different jobs from cleaning, exterior windows need different equipment and safety measures, and heavy furniture stays where it is. Fresh renovation dust is also outside a deep clean; carpets needing deeper treatment have their own page: Carpet Cleaning. Unsure where your job fits? Say so in your quote request.
