What is Included in a Professional Deep Clean?
At Spotless Cleaning, we provide a range of cleaning services, and while we do provide daily office cleaning, you may find that from time to time your business premises might need a professional deep clean. This blog outlines what exactly a commercial deep clean should include and the benefits of having one.
What is a Professional Deep Clean?
Deep cleaning is a cleaning process that removes dust, dirt, bacteria, and grime from every single area of your premises. This includes areas that are hard to reach and rarely touched where dirt has had the opportunity to build up over time.
Deep cleaning requires every single item, whether fixed or mobile, to be moved so that thorough cleaning can take place. Every surface, every corner, and every nook will be reached. This wouldn’t usually happen on a daily or even a weekly basis.
What is Included in a Deep Clean?
Deep cleaning usually includes:
High-Level and Hard-to-Reach Areas
- High ledges, light fittings and areas above cabinets
- Windows inside and out, including frames and glass
- Ceiling fans
- Blinds
- HVAC vent covers removed and thoroughly washed
- Behind radiators
- TVs, monitors and CCTV cameras, including upper surfaces
Floors, Fixtures and Surfaces
- Hard floors machine scrubbed
- Carpets and upholstery professionally shampooed
- Doors and door frames fully wiped and disinfected
- Walls washed and sanitised

- All furniture moved so surfaces underneath can be cleaned
- All equipment moved and cleaned thoroughly
Kitchens, Washrooms and Hygiene Critical Areas

- Bathrooms deep cleaned, including grout, toilet bases and hidden areas
How Often Should You Have a Deep Clean?
The level of hygiene and cleanliness that is needed in a commercial business is dependent on your business operations.
All businesses must make important hygiene considerations. Where daily office cleaning keeps an area tidy and workable, commercial premises need to look deeper.
Keeping a business looking and feeling professional is important. But a deep clean goes far beyond this.
In many commercial organisations like schools, offices, retail, or hospitality, a ‘deep clean’ is a service provided by professionals. This fundamentally goes beyond the daily cleaning of welfare facilities and visual areas, or just those areas that are most used or seen.
Taking Extra Measures
Extra measures are often required for any industrial business, healthcare, or the food industry.
With additional regulations, specialist cleaning is necessary an often mandatory. Each is regulated by its respective authorities
How Often Should an Office Have a Deep Clean?
There aren’t any rules about how frequently a business premise should be deep cleaned. But as a guide, we’d recommend every quarter.
Our Process
To not disrupt business hours, a deep clean would be arranged outside of business hours. This ensures both our team and your staff are kept safe.
All equipment, such as desks and cupboards, would be moved where possible. This allows for ease of access to the hard-to-reach, barely seen places.
Each area is then thoroughly cleaned, ensuring even non-visible contaminants are removed.
As a business owner, you need to choose how often your premises need a deep clean. Our team will run through a full risk assessment with you to help you make an informed decision.
What are the Benefits of a Deep Clean?
You’re not just removing the top level of dust and dirt; you’re getting to the very core and the structure of your space. This includes cleaning areas that aren’t as frequently seen.
