What is typically included in a deep clean (Bournemouth)?

Short answer: a deep clean targets the stuff regular cleans skip—grease, limescale, inside cupboards, high/low dust, awkward edges, fiddly bits, and all the tiny ambush points agents, guests, and in‑laws somehow spot instantly. It’s the house reset button. The “looks like move‑in day” button. The “I can invite people over without mood lighting” button.

Let’s be honest: “deep clean” sounds like the sort of thing your aunt suggests right after you’ve already “cleaned.” You wipe a surface, she runs a finger along a skirting board you didn’t know existed, and now you’re Googling limescale removers at 10pm. So, what actually counts as a deep clean—especially here in Bournemouth where the water is hard, the sea air is… enthusiastic, and dust behaves like it pays rent?

Deep Clean vs. Regular Clean vs. End of Tenancy (Know what you’re buying)

• Regular clean: Maintenance mode. Wipe surfaces, spruce bathrooms, quick hoover/mop. Brilliant weekly. Won’t defeat oven demons or shower screen shame.

• Deep clean: The reset. Inside storage, degreasing, de‑scaling, high/low dusting, edge work, detail work. More elbow grease, fewer regrets.

• End of tenancy: Deep clean plus inventory‑level specifics. It’s a pass‑the‑checkout‑report mission, often with oven and carpets added. (If you’re handing keys back, say so. Very different game.)

If you want your home to feel new again—without assembling a small army of microfibre cloths—deep clean is your match.

Kitchen (Operation: Degrease Everything)

Goal: Evict grease, film, crumbs, and mystery “spatters” that arrived sometime circa Pancake Day.

What’s included (properly):

• Hob, extractor, splashbacks degreased (yes, all the corners)

• Inside & outside cupboards (shelves, edges, hinges, handles—the whole soap opera)

• Worktops scrubbed and sanitised; no crumb colonies left behind

• Sink & taps de‑scaled (limescale doesn’t pay council tax—out it goes)

• Appliance fronts cleaned; microwave inside sorted (remember that soup explosion? We do)

• Kickboards & plinths wiped, because dust loves crouching

• Floors: vacuum edges + thorough mop (lines straight enough to please a surveyor)

Optional add‑ons (worth it):

• Oven deep clean (racks, trays, glass, door seals—the lot)

• Fridge/freezer interior (defrost first, or we bring a tiny ice age to your kitchen)

• Dishwasher filter refresh (shocking what lives in there)

Bathrooms (Exorcising Limescale with Extreme Prejudice)

Goal: Shiny chrome, clear glass, zero chalky heartbreak.

What’s included:

• Taps, shower head/rail, and screen de‑scaled till they actually sparkle

• Tiles & grout scrubbed like we mean it (because we do)

• Toilets sanitised—hinges, base, back, the lot (no dainty dabbing here)

• Basins, baths, shower trays detailed and buffed

• Mirrors streak‑free; shelves/ledges wiped (goodbye lint moustaches)

• Extractor vent dusted (the gateway to fluff city)

• Floors vacuum + mop; edges and around pedestals aren’t “optional”

All Rooms (Top → Bottom, because dust falls, science etc.)

Goal: Remove the invisible film you’ve been politely ignoring.

What’s included:

• High dusting: tops of doors, frames, pictures, vents, reachable light fittings

• Low dusting: skirting boards, sockets/switches, door handles, banisters

• Internal windows & mirrors: glass, frames, tracks, sills (no more mystery streaks)

• Furniture edges & legs: dust/wipe (light items moved if safe and sane)

• Vacuum edges properly; mop hard floors like we’re trying to impress your nan

• Spot marks on reachable walls/doors where safe (this is cleaning, not re‑decorating)

Add‑Ons (The Finishing Moves)

These take a deep clean from “ooh, nice” to “who are we?”

• Oven deep clean (removes carbon, not joy)

• Carpet steam cleaning (lift dirt, reduce odours; faster drying with windows open)

• Upholstery steam (fabric‑dependent—no, we won’t obliterate your velvet)

• Blinds (slat‑by‑slat patience Olympics)

• Inside fridge/freezer (again: defrost first, or it’s a penguin habitat)

• High internal windows (within safe reach; we like our ankles unbroken)

Ask for add‑ons upfront so we budget time and bring the right kit. Surprise ovens are like surprise guests—never ideal.

What’s Not Usually Included (Set expectations, save disappointment)

• Exterior windows, gutters, patios, garages, gardens (aka outside)

• Mould remediation beyond a surface wipe (persistent mould = moisture issue = different specialist)

• Paintwork repair, re‑sealing, new silicone (we clean; we don’t redecorate)

• Rubbish removal or full‑scale decluttering (we’ll clean the room, not empty the attic)

• Appliance repairs or anything unsafe to reach without proper access

• Biohazard situations (needs specialist care)

If you’re unsure, ask. We’d rather be straight now than awkward later.

Timing (Realistic, not fantasy)

Variables: size, condition, pets, add‑ons, access, “my cousin’s glitter craft phase”.

• 1–2 bed flat: half‑day to full day

• 3–4 bed house: most of a day with a team

• Big places or heavy build‑up: plan for a full day+

Rushing ruins results. We book enough time to do it properly. That’s the whole point.

How to Prep Like a Legend (and shave time off the job)

• Clear worktops and bathroom surfaces. We can move little bits, but clear equals quicker.

• Declutter floors. Fewer obstacles = better edges = happier you.

• Defrost the freezer if you’ve booked it. (We promise not to judge the peas from 2019.)

• Parking & access: where to park, gate codes, key exchange—tell us now, not later.

• Pets: pop them somewhere calm if hoovers make them write angry tweets.

• Water & electricity on. We bring everything else.

Small prep, big difference. Your wallet will whisper “thank you”.

Why Bournemouth Deep Cleans Are Their Own Sport

Hard water means limescale loves you. It clings to taps and showers like it’s auditioning for a long‑term relationship. Add salty sea air and the odd bit of coastal grit, and you get fittings that need a little extra love (and the right chemicals) to look properly new again. We know the local quirks and we come armed accordingly—no scratching chrome, no bleaching grout into oblivion, no “Oops, that’s now matte.” Just results.

Results You Can Actually Feel (and brag about)

• Kitchen stops feeling vaguely sticky; cupboards are clean inside, not just “we don’t talk about that shelf.”

• Shower screen turns transparent. Taps shine. No chalky sadness.

• Skirting boards go from grey suggestion to crisp white reality.

• Edges are vacuumed, corners are not ecosystems.

• House smells fresh because we removed dirt—not because we’ve fogged it with “Artisanal Meadow Burst No. 3”.

FAQs (because you were absolutely about to ask)

Does a deep clean include the oven?
Not by default. Add oven deep clean—it changes the whole kitchen mood.

Will you move furniture?
Light items for access, yes. Heavy/fragile stuff only if safe. Tell us before we arrive.

Do I need to be home?
Nope. Lockbox, agent keys, neighbour with an excellent hat—we’ll work it out and send you photos when we’re done.

Do you bring all the supplies?
Yes. Professional kit, solutions, microfibres, pads, machines. You provide… doors.

Carpet steam—will everything be soaked?
Damp, not soggy. With windows open and some airflow, you’re generally fine within a few hours.

Is deep clean the same as end of tenancy?
No. Deep clean is your reset. End of tenancy is inventory‑level (often with carpets/oven). Say which you need and we’ll quote for the right thing.
