One thorough visit
Deep Cleaning in Peterborough, Ontario
When the house has slipped further than a quick tidy can fix, a deep reset takes it back to clean from top to bottom, including the parts nobody has looked at in months.
A Full Reset for a Home That Got Ahead of You
It happens to everyone. A new baby, a hard winter, a stretch of long shifts, an illness, a move that never quite finished. One day you look around and the job is too big to start. A deep reset is built for exactly that moment: one long visit that works through the whole house methodically, so you can start fresh.
It's also how most of our regular clients begin. Getting the house to a clean baseline first means every visit after it is quicker, cheaper and easier to keep up. And it's what people book before hosting family, before listing a house, or when spring finally arrives after months of salt and slush.
Book a Deep Reset If…
- Nobody has given the house a proper top-to-bottom clean since sometime last year.
- You're about to start regular visits and want a clean starting point.
- Family is coming for the holidays and you don't want to spend the week before scrubbing.
- The winter left salt, grit and grime ground into entries, floors and baseboards.
- Things have been hard lately and you'd like one less thing to worry about. No judgement, ever.
What a Deep Reset Covers
Everything in a regular visit, plus the slow, detailed work that regular visits don't have time for.
Upstairs, high to low
Ceiling corners and fans, light fixtures, vent covers and return grilles, door and window frames, tops of cupboards and wardrobes.
Bathrooms
Grout lines scrubbed, shower tracks and doors detailed, the toilet base and behind it, exhaust fan cover, cabinet fronts and inside the vanity if emptied.
Bedrooms
Baseboards washed, closet shelves wiped if cleared, behind and under furniture we can safely move, window sills and tracks.
Kitchen
Oven and fridge interiors if you ask, cupboard fronts degreased, range hood and filter, small appliances, the toe kick under cabinets, behind the stove if it rolls.
Living areas
Baseboards and trim by hand, blinds dusted slat by slat, lamps and shades, picture frames, inside glass doors and the fireplace surround.
Floors last, back to the door
Vacuum edges with a crevice tool, under cushions and furniture, then a hand wash of hard floors, finishing at the door.
Regular visit or deep reset: what's the difference?
A regular visit
Holds a tidy house where it already is. Surfaces, bathrooms, kitchen, floors. Usually two to four hours for one cleaner.
A deep reset
Brings a house back to clean. Adds baseboards, vents, fixtures, inside appliances, grout and the hard-to-reach. Often a full day, or two cleaners for half a day.
When people book one
Searches for house cleaning in Peterborough peak in January and February, when the decorations come down and the house shows every bit of the holidays. Spring is the other big moment, when the light gets in and you notice the windows. People also book a reset after an illness or a tough stretch, before a new baby arrives, before guests, before listing a house for sale, and before regular visits begin.
Before we arrive
Clearing counters and tables beforehand means the hours you pay for are spent cleaning, not shifting stacks of mail. Put away anything valuable or fragile you'd rather we didn't handle. Tell us about any pets and whether they'll be loose, crated or out. If you're out on a rural road, tell us about the lane and where to park, especially in winter.
