What’s the Difference Between Regular Cleaning and Deep Cleaning?

What Is Regular Cleaning?

Regular cleaning is the type of maintenance most homeowners or tenants schedule weekly or biweekly. It's designed to keep your home looking clean, fresh, and organized on a consistent basis.

Common tasks include:

• Vacuuming and mopping floors

• Wiping kitchen counters

• Sanitizing bathroom surfaces

• Dusting shelves and visible furniture

• Taking out the trash

• Tidying bedrooms and living areas

  📍 If you're in Cook County and want a stress-free weekly cleaning service, this is your go-to option.

What Is Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning goes further. It targets the stuff you don’t see — the corners, crevices, and buildup that accumulate over time. It’s more intensive, more time-consuming, and more transformative.

Deep cleaning includes:

• Baseboards and behind furniture

• Inside kitchen appliances (oven, microwave, fridge)

• Grout lines and tile scrubbing

• Cabinet interiors and door handles

• Window sills, blinds, vents

• Removal of built-up soap scum and hard water stains

✅ At Jika’s Cleaning, our deep cleaning services in Chicago, Des Plaines, and Glenview are perfect before a party, after renovations, or ahead of moving out.

When Do You Need Deep Cleaning?

You should schedule a deep clean when:

• You’re moving in or out of a home

• You haven’t cleaned in several months

• You’ve recently had construction work done

• You’re preparing to host guests or list your property

• You want to reset your space for a new season

🏡 In Cook County, many clients book a deep clean seasonally — especially in spring or fall.

Which One Is Right for You?

• Choose regular cleaning if you want consistency and maintenance.

• Choose deep cleaning if your home needs a reset — or you want to get into all the nooks and crannies.

You can also start with a deep clean and move into a regular cleaning schedule afterward — it’s what many of our happy clients do!
