What Is Deep Cleaning and Why Does It Matter?

Unlike regular maintenance cleaning, deep cleaning targets the hidden grime, dust, and buildup that accumulates over time. It includes scrubbing areas that don’t typically get attention—like baseboards, behind appliances, ceiling fans, and inside cabinets. In Nova Scotia's climate, where homes are sealed tight in the winter, deep cleaning improves indoor air quality and keeps your living space healthier year-round.

Deep Cleaning Supplies You'll Need

Microfiber cloths and sponges
Multi-surface cleaner and disinfectant
Broom, mop, vacuum (with attachments)
Baking soda and vinegar (for natural solutions)
Bucket, gloves, trash bags
Scrub brushes and toothbrush (for tight spots)
