Spring Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning: What's Actually the Difference?

Three things: (1) interior + exterior windows and screens are cleaned, (2) ceiling fans, blinds, and high-ledge dust are tackled, and (3) seasonal-rotation tasks happen (swapping out winter bedding, organizing seasonal closets, moving seasonal decor). All of that adds 1-2 hours and roughly $80-$100 to the bill vs a standard deep cleaning.

Useful but not strictly necessary — if you're on biweekly, the home stays in maintained condition year-round. Spring cleaning makes sense once a year for the window-cleaning and ceiling-fan work that recurring visits don't cover. Many recurring customers book spring cleaning annually as their once-a-year extra rather than a separate deep clean.

Yes — the name is seasonal but the service runs year-round. We do a heavy 'fall cleaning' equivalent in October-November (similar scope, often paired with pre-holiday prep) and 'summer reset' bookings in June-July. The checklist is the same; just the marketing label changes by season.

Different. Move-out cleaning focuses on inspection-grade detail (cabinet interiors, appliance interiors, baseboards, walls, blinds) for landlord/realtor handoff. Spring cleaning focuses on annual reset (windows, fans, seasonal rotation) without the lease-handoff focus. They overlap on the standard deep-clean checklist but cover different specialty work.

Spring cleaning bundled tends to run $40-$80 cheaper than booking deep cleaning plus a separate window-cleaning visit, because we send one larger crew for one longer visit instead of two separate dispatches. The bundle also lets us hit ceiling fans, blinds, and high ledges as part of the same visit instead of an additional charge.

About 1-2 hours longer — a 2BR standard deep cleaning runs 4-7 hours; the same 2BR with spring-cleaning scope adds 1-2 hours for windows, fans, blinds, and seasonal rotation, totaling 5-8 hours. We typically send a larger crew (3-4 cleaners) for spring cleaning to keep the visit completed in one day.

Based on the price (2br) comparison above: Spring Cleaning runs $320 - $480, while Deep Cleaning runs $240 - $380. The right way to evaluate cost isn't per-visit price alone — factor in timing (Once-a-year (spring) vs Year-round, on-demand) and the cleanliness baseline you actually want. Most households who run the math end up choosing based on consistency over per-visit savings.

Yes — there's no contract or switching fee. Many customers start with one and adjust within the first 60 days as they see how the cadence and scope actually fit their household. Just message your assigned crew or update your booking and the schedule adjusts at the next visit. Note that the visit length will change from 5 - 8 hours to 4 - 7 hours, so we'll re-confirm your time window before the first switched visit.
