Deep Cleaning in Harrow and Across London

What deep cleaning includes

Every room is worked from the top down: cornices, light fittings and the tops of cupboards and wardrobes first, then walls spot-cleaned, switches, sockets, doors and frames, radiators front and back, windows inside, skirtings, and finally the floors. Kitchens and bathrooms get the appliance and descaling work described below. Then the soft furnishings: carpets, rugs, upholstery, curtains and mattresses as agreed when you booked.

How the cleaning is carried out

The operator arrives with the industrial extraction machine and a full kit of products matched to the surfaces in the house: a degreaser for the kitchen, a descaler for the bathroom, a wool-safe solution for a wool carpet, a fabric-specific one for the sofa. Hard surfaces are done first so any dust settles before the floors and fabrics are cleaned, and the extraction machine dries what it cleans, so the last rooms are usable within hours of us leaving.

How the quote works

A deep clean is priced from the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, its condition and which soft furnishings you want done. A two-bedroom flat with two sofas and carpets throughout is a different day to a five-bedroom house with hard floors. Give us that picture and you get one figure for the job before you book.

• Bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms
• Condition: routine, neglected, post-building work, pets
• Carpets and rugs to be steam cleaned
• Sofas, chairs, curtains and mattresses to include

When to book a deep clean

Before moving into a property someone else has lived in. After building or decorating work, when fine dust has got into everything. After a long winter with the windows shut. When a pet has been ill, or a family member has. Before a party, a new baby or a house guest. Or simply once a year, as the reset that keeps the weekly routine manageable.

What is included in the checklist

The same checklist an end of tenancy clean is worked to, applied to a lived-in home. Where the property is furnished, items are moved where they safely can be and cleaned around where they cannot.

• Kitchen: oven, hob, extractor, fridge, microwave, cupboards inside and out, tiles, bin
• Bathrooms: limescale off taps, screens and tiles, grout scrubbed, toilet, fittings, mirrors
• Living areas and bedrooms: dusting from the top down, skirtings, switches, doors, inside windows
• Soft furnishings: carpets, rugs, upholstery, curtains and mattresses as booked

Areas and property types covered

Flats, houses, HMOs and holiday lets across Harrow and London, plus commercial spaces such as offices, waiting rooms and communal areas in residential blocks where the same top-down method applies. Larger properties are split across a longer visit or two operators so the day is not rushed.

What a deep clean removes

Much of what a deep clean removes is not visible until it is gone: the film on the extractor, the scale in the shower head, the dust in the carpet backing, the mite residue in the mattress. An industrial extraction machine removes those where a domestic vacuum and a spray bottle cannot, and the smells go with the dirt.
