What’s Included in a Deep Cleaning Service? (Complete Room-by-Room Checklist)
A deep cleaning service goes far beyond a regular weekly tidy. It’s a top-to-bottom, detail-focused clean that tackles built-up grime, hard-to-reach areas, and every surface that gets skipped in a standard maintenance clean. Here’s exactly what’s included, room by room.
And the good news: at Speedy Sparkle Cleaning, our deep clean uses the same flat-rate pricing as our standard service. You pay by home size, not by the length of the checklist.
Deep Cleaning vs. Standard Cleaning, What’s the Difference?
A standard clean covers regular maintenance: vacuuming floors, wiping surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and kitchen, emptying bins. A deep clean does all of that and goes further, inside appliances, baseboards, grout scrubbing, door frames, light switches, window sills, behind fixtures, and anywhere build-up accumulates over time.
Think of a standard clean as maintenance, and a deep clean as a full reset.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a deep clean take?
For most Vancouver condos and apartments (under 1,000 sq ft), a deep clean takes 2.5-4 hours with a 2-person team. Larger homes (1,500+ sq ft) typically take 4-6 hours. You don’t need to be home, provide access instructions and come back to a spotless space.
Is the deep clean the same price as a standard clean?
Yes. Speedy Sparkle uses the same flat-rate price structure for both, from $299 for homes up to 1,000 sq ft. You pay for the size of your home, not for each individual task on the checklist.
What’s the 100% satisfaction guarantee?
If anything was missed or doesn’t meet your standard, let us know within 24 hours. We’ll return and re-clean the area at no extra charge. No arguments, no fine print.
