How we deep clean a full home

A full home deep clean follows the same order every time: top to bottom, dry to wet, room by room. Here is exactly what our team does, from the moment they arrive to the final walk-through with you.

Step by step

What happens, in order

  1. 1

    Walk-through and plan

    15 min

    The supervisor walks the home with you, notes stubborn stains, fragile items and areas you care about most, and agrees the plan for the day.

    • We photograph problem areas before starting
    • Valuables and religious items are set aside with you
    • We confirm water and power points

  2. 2

    Protect floors and furniture

    15 min

    Furniture is covered or moved where needed, and floor guards are laid at entrances so dust from one room does not travel to the next.

  3. 3

    Ceilings, fans and lights

    45 to 60 min

    We always start at the top. Cobwebs, ceiling corners, false ceilings, fan blades and light fittings are dusted and wiped first, so nothing falls on a surface we have already cleaned.

    • Telescopic poles and stable ladders, never chairs
    • Fan blades degreased, not just dusted

    Walls, switchboards and doors

    45 min

    Marks on walls are spot-cleaned with a gentle cleaner. Switchboards, door handles and frames are wiped and sanitised, because these are the most touched surfaces in any home.

    Windows, grills and balconies

    60 to 90 min

    Glass is cleaned inside and, where it is safe to reach, outside. Window tracks and grills are scrubbed out with brushes and vacuumed, and balcony floors and railings are washed.

  6. 6

    Kitchen deep clean

    60 to 90 min

    Grease is the hardest soil in an Indian kitchen. We degrease walls, tiles, slab, cabinet fronts and the outside of appliances, then clean the sink and taps until they shine.

    • Food-safe degreaser on cooking surfaces
    • Inside of cabinets only on the full kitchen option

    Bathroom descaling

    45 min per bathroom

    Hard-water scale is removed from tiles, taps, showerheads and glass using a descaler and a scrubbing machine. Toilets, basins and exhaust fans are cleaned and sanitised.

    Furniture and fixtures

    45 min

    Wardrobes and furniture are wiped outside, mirrors polished, skirting boards and corners cleaned. Upholstery is dry vacuumed. Sofa shampooing is a separate service if you need it.

  9. 9

    Floor scrubbing

    60 to 90 min

    Floors are cleaned last. We vacuum, then scrub with a disc machine and the right cleaner for marble, vitrified tile or wood, and finish with a clean mop so no residue is left behind.

    Final walk-through with you

    15 min

    The supervisor walks every room with you. Anything you are not happy with is fixed before the team packs up. Garbage is bagged and handed over, and we leave the home ready to use.

FAQs

Questions about the full home deep cleaning process

In what order do you clean a home?

Top to bottom and dry to wet: ceilings and fans first, then walls, windows, kitchen and bathrooms, furniture, and floors last. This stops dust from settling on surfaces that are already clean.

How many people come for a full home deep clean?

Usually 3 to 6 people and a supervisor, depending on the size of the home. A 2 BHK typically needs 3 or 4 people for most of a day.

Can I stay at home during the cleaning?

Yes. Most customers stay in one room while we work in the others, then swap. We only need you for the first walk-through and the final check.

Do you clean inside cupboards?

Only if you book the option for it, because it needs cupboards to be emptied first. Outside surfaces of all furniture are always included.
