What’s the Difference Between a Deep Clean and a Maintenance Clean?

If you’ve ever looked at our service menu and wondered, “What exactly is the difference between a deep clean and a maintenance clean?”—you’re not alone! At T.L.C. Home Services, we want to ensure you’re choosing the best option for your home, your budget, and your lifestyle.

Let’s break it down so you know exactly what to expect from each service.


Deluxe Cleaning (Deep Clean)

Perfect for:

  • First-time clients
  • One-time or seasonal refresh
  • Move-in/move-out cleanings
  • Prepping for recurring maintenance services

Our Deluxe Cleaning is our most detailed cleaning package. This top-to-bottom scrub sets the stage for a beautifully maintained home. Whether it’s your first cleaning with TLC or you just need to hit reset on your space, this service will leave every room sparkling.

🔍 What’s Included:

  • Woodwork (baseboards, doors, window casings) hand-washed
  • All upholstered furniture vacuumed, including under cushions
  • Ceiling fans, vents, and light fixtures washed
  • Kitchen appliances cleaned on the outside, microwave inside & out
  • Bathroom fully disinfected, including fixtures and accessories
  • Trash bins cleaned inside and out
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped thoroughly
  • Dusting of lampshades, décor, and more
  • Beds made and towels neatly hung or folded

In short? We go deep. Every room gets detailed attention from top to bottom—removing buildup, restoring shine, and preparing your home for easy upkeep moving forward.


🧹 Maintenance Cleaning

Perfect for:

  • Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly ongoing service
  • Busy households who want consistency without the heavy lifting
  • Keeping your home sanitized and clean year-round

Once your home has had a Deluxe Cleaning, we recommend recurring Maintenance Cleanings to keep it in tip-top shape. These cleanings are less intensive (and less costly!) because we’ve already done the heavy lifting.

🧼 What’s Included:

  • High-touch surfaces disinfected
  • Light dusting of furniture, decor and fixtures
  • Spot cleaning cabinets and glass doors
  • Full kitchen & bathroom cleaning
  • Trash emptied, floors cleaned, and rooms tidied

Think of maintenance cleanings as your home’s regular “spa day”—keeping things fresh, tidy, and sanitary between those deeper resets.


💡 Add-On Services Available:

Want to customize your clean? We offer additional services for an added charge:

  • Inside appliances (fridge, oven, dishwasher)
  • Interior cabinet and closet cleaning
  • Changing bed linens
  • Washing walls or hand-scrubbing floors
  • Garage or unfinished basement cleaning
  • Tilt in Window Service

Just let us know what your home needs!


🏡 Which One Is Right for You?

If your home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a while—we always recommend starting with a Deluxe Cleaning. It gives us a clean slate to work from and ensures every inch of your home gets the TLC it deserves.

After that, your Maintenance Cleaning keeps your home consistently clean with less time, less cost, and a whole lot less stress.
