Maintaining a clean and tidy home is not only visually pleasing but also essential for our overall well-being. It contributes to a healthier environment and a sense of comfort and serenity.

When it comes to cleaning, two terms are often used interchangeably: “regular cleaning” and “deep cleaning.”

Here are some of our top tips to help you understand the differences between the two and when deep cleaning is necessary.

Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essentially the routine cleaning you do daily and weekly to stay on top of dirt. It involves the basic maintenance tasks that help keep the home in a reasonably clean and tidy state.

This method includes activities like:

• Dusting
• Sweeping
• Mopping
• Vacuuming
• Doing the dishes
• Doing the washing

Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning, on the other hand, is a more intensive cleaning process. Deep cleaning targets areas and tasks that are often neglected daily and weekly but should not be mistaken with spring cleaning as these types of tasks require attention more than once per year.

Deep cleaning schedule

Once per month:

• Bathroom: Deep clean tiles, grout, and fixtures, and sanitise the toilet and bathtub.
• Living Areas: Polish leather and wooden furniture.
• Windows: Clean all windows.

Once per quarter:

• Kitchen: Deep clean appliances (oven, fridge, microwave), disinfect countertops, and scrub the sink and backsplash.
• Living Areas: Deep clean upholstery and carpets, vacuum under furniture, and dust all surfaces thoroughly.

Twice per year:

• Bedrooms: Deep clean bedding, curtains, and declutter closets and under the bed.
• Floors: Wax and polish floors.
• Air: Sanitise the air.

While deep cleaning might not be the most glamorous of household tasks, it is essential within the greater picture of household health and well-ness. Your annual spring clean will have less on the list if you tackle the above-mentioned tasks periodically.
