Your result
A standard clean is what your home needs.
Your home is being maintained well. A standard clean keeps kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces fresh without paying for deep-clean work that is not needed yet.
What moved your score:
No single area dominated your score — overall maintenance looks solid.
What to expect: surfaces, floors, bathrooms, kitchen, dusting of reachable areas. Not included: inside appliances, grout scrubbing, baseboards in detail, vents, behind furniture.
A note on timing: most homes on a recurring schedule benefit from a deep clean roughly once a year, even when well maintained.
Your result
A standard clean will work, but there is build-up starting.
You are in the middle. A standard clean will make your home feel good. What it will not do is address the specific areas that scored highest below — and those get harder the longer they wait.
Where the build-up is:
No single area dominated your score — overall maintenance looks solid.
Two sensible options: book a standard clean now and a deep clean within a few months; or book one deep clean now and move onto a recurring standard schedule afterwards, which is usually the better value over a year.
Your result
Your home needs a deep clean.
There is accumulated build-up in areas a standard clean does not reach. Booking a standard clean here is the most common cause of disappointment in home cleaning — not because the cleaner did poor work, but because the service booked was never designed to address this.
What pushed your score:
No single area dominated your score — overall maintenance looks solid.
What a deep clean adds: grout and tile scrubbing, inside oven and fridge, range hood degreasing, baseboards and door frames, vents and light fixtures, behind and under furniture where accessible, detailed edges and tracks.
Expect it to take longer — typically 1.5 to 2 times a standard clean for the same home.
Your result
You need a move-in/move-out clean.
An empty home is cleaned differently. Inside all cabinets and drawers, inside appliances, inside closets — all reachable when the home is empty and all things a standard clean skips.
If you are moving out, this is usually tied to a deposit or a landlord walkthrough. Ask what the expected standard is before booking, and get the scope in writing.
If you are moving in, book before the furniture arrives. It is faster, cheaper, and far more thorough.
Your result
Your situation needs a proper look first.
Post-renovation dust, smoke, flooding, mould, or a long vacancy are not standard or deep cleaning problems. Fine construction dust settles into every surface and recirculates for weeks. Mould and smoke damage may need remediation rather than cleaning, sometimes with specific certification.
Do not book a standard or deep clean for this. Ask for an assessment first. A reputable company will tell you if the job is outside what it does — and we would rather say so than take a booking we cannot do well.
