A deep clean includes everything in a regular clean, plus the detailed work that builds up over months: baseboards, door frames, grout, behind and under furniture and appliances, and the grime a weekly wipe-down misses. It usually takes about 1.5 times as long as a standard clean because every surface gets hands-on attention.
