A home is for people, not for stuff, dust, and dirt. Every once in awhile, you need to take back your home from the encroaching junk. Every once in a while, you need a deep house cleaning.
A deep house cleaning is more than just wiping a few things down, making the bed, and vacuuming. It’s giving your home a top-to-bottom shine and feeling so much lighter and freer when you’re done. Unfortunately, that feeling of being truly clean comes only after some hard work. Check out our four info-packed tips on how to make delivering that deep house cleaning a little easier.
1 – Prepare Enough Time
The most successful way to begin your house deep cleaning is to prepare enough time. You don’t want to get caught up in a cleaning rhythm and then find out six hours later that you ran three hours over. This tip is especially helpful for busy moms, who are often juggling more than they should handle. For more useful pointers, check out our house cleaning tips for busy stay-at-home moms.
2 – Reaching Into Nooks and Crannies
The spaces in your house most likely to gather dirt and dust the quickest are the nooks and crannies. The few inches of space between your couch and the floor, corners of the garage and kitchen woodwork are all-too-common places for dust bunnies to set up shop. Keep these deep cleaning items clearly outlined on your to-do list, and relish in the clean surfaces that result!
3 – Being Prepared with a Variety of Equipment
Nothing says being prepared for deep cleaning like the right equipment! Having a strong array of cleaning products at your disposal is critical to deep cleaning success. Some of these items include, but are not limited to:
- Bucket of water
- White vinegar
- Microfiber cloths
- HEPA filter vacuum
- Garbage can
All of these items at some point or another can save the day for a deep cleaning task. Baking soda and white vinegar are environmentally-friendly, low-impact cleaning substances that are more versatile than the majority of what lines the shelves at convenience stores. HEPA vacuums are must-haves for abolishing all kinds of airborne germs and persistent microbes on softer surfaces.

4 – Moving Furniture
Last but not least, your deep cleaning exploration may require you to move some furniture. Not surprisingly, moving furniture is one of those tasks that typically require a helping hand. If family and friends are unavailable, or you simply don’t want to bother them, our dedicated house cleaners are ready to make your deep cleaning a breeze.

Wow, I stumbled on this blog quite by accident but what a wealth of information I am finding here. I really like the mention of planning enough time to do the job properly. As a busy person time is valuable and without allowing enough time to finish a task, one’s schedule can quickly get out of hand. I do keep some of those furniture “sliders” around in case I need to move the sofa from time to time by myself. I suppose the real time saver though would be to just hire this service out a couple times a year and not worry about it.,

Those furniture sliders work wonders; great in helping keep your back stay healthy… and the cleaning too.
I tend to leave my deep house cleaning around for the big spring clean. We usually get most things done but I like the advice you give to prepare. Sometimes the work piles up as you discover more things need cleaning and it doesn’t all fit into your schedule.
Well, “spring cleaning” is no longer a task for the Spring season; these days, most people call it “spring cleaning” as a reference to Deep Cleaning.
We recommend a “spring cleaning” or deep cleaning twice a year. Feel free to use this post on creating a cleaning schedule.
This is some great, detailed info on how to do a really good job on your next house cleaning project. I would have never thought to have all the equipment items from #3, and you make some very good points about really getting into the nooks and crannies. You’d be surprised where those “dust bunnies” can accumulate. Now I feel prepared to do a really thorough home cleaning for my own living space!
Thanks for the feedback AJ.

Good point Steve, most people are able to do a deep cleaning in their home, however, with today’s demands, people need more hands to accomplish a great house cleaning job done.
