Deep Cleaning Services in San Diego
Professional deep cleaning that goes beyond surface-level tidying. Our 47-point checklist covers every corner, every surface, every detail your home needs.
What Makes Deep Cleaning Different?
Regular cleaning maintains your home’s day-to-day cleanliness. Deep cleaning goes further, addressing areas that accumulate buildup over time. Think about the last time someone cleaned behind your refrigerator, scrubbed your grout lines, or detailed your window tracks. That’s deep cleaning.
Our San Diego customers typically book deep cleaning services when:
Moving into a new home
Start fresh with a completely sanitized space before unpacking. Previous occupants' cleaning standards may not match yours.
Preparing to sell
Start fresh with a completely sanitized space before unpacking. Previous occupants' cleaning standards may not match yours.
Spring or fall reset
Start fresh with a completely sanitized space before unpacking. Previous occupants' cleaning standards may not match yours.
After Construction
Post-construction dust is insidious. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums to capture construction dust.
Extended neglect
Life gets busy. If it has been months since your home received thorough attention, deep cleaning is the reset you need.
Before major events
Hosting holiday gatherings? Preparing for a wedding? Deep cleaning ensures your home is truly guest-ready.

These timeframes reflect thorough, detailed work by professional teams. We never rush deep cleaning – the entire point is thoroughness.
Our Team Approach
We send 2-person teams for most deep cleanings. Two experienced cleaners working together complete the job more efficiently than one person working alone, and they can quality-check each other’s work.
For larger homes (3,500+ square feet) or homes requiring significant attention, we send 3-person teams to maintain our quality standards while completing your service in a reasonable timeframe.
Step-by-Step Process
- Pre-arrival preparation
We ask you to secure valuables and remove clutter from surfaces. We clean surfaces, but we don’t organize belongings or move personal items.
- Walk-through
Upon arrival, we conduct a brief walk-through with you (if you’re present) to discuss any areas requiring special attention and answer questions.
- Top-to-bottom approach
We always clean from ceiling to floor, ensuring dust and debris fall onto surfaces we haven’t cleaned yet. This prevents double work.
- Room-by-room completion
We fully complete each room before moving to the next. This systematic approach prevents missed areas.
- Quality inspection
Before considering any room finished, we inspect our work against the checklist.
- Final walk-through
If you’re home, we invite you to walk through and confirm you’re satisfied with every area.
Eco-Friendly Deep Cleaning Options
Many San Diego residents prioritize environmental sustainability. We offer eco-friendly deep cleaning using:
Cost: Same price as standard deep cleaning. We don’t charge extra for eco-friendly products because we believe this should be the standard, not an upgrade.

Living near the beach creates specific challenges:
- Salt air leaves residue on windows and fixtures

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule deep cleaning?
Most homeowners benefit from deep cleaning 2-4 times per year (seasonally). However, specific situations may require more frequent deep cleaning such as preparing your home for sale, after hosting extended guests, following illness or flu season, or after major home projects.
Do I need to be home?
No. Many clients provide access via lockbox, garage code, or key. We lock up when finished and text you confirmation. Some clients prefer to be present for the initial service, then provide access for future cleanings once they trust us.
What if I'm not satisfied?
Call us within 24 hours. We return to re-clean any areas that don’t meet your standards, at no charge. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. In 10+ years of business, we maintain a 98% satisfaction rate because we get it right the first time.
Can you clean while I work from home?
Yes. We work quietly and can avoid your office area until you break or finish work. Many clients work from home during our service.
Do you move furniture?
We move lightweight furniture (chairs, small tables) to clean underneath. We don’t move heavy furniture (sofas, beds, dressers) due to liability and potential damage. If you need furniture moved, please arrange this before our arrival.
Are your cleaners background-checked?
Yes. Every team member passes background checks and reference verification. We’re fully insured and bonded for your protection.
