Is the home maintained—or is detail buildup changing how it feels?
Both services clean the essential rooms. Deep Cleaning earns the higher price only when its added checklist solves a problem you can actually see.
Choose Standard Cleaning
For a home in reasonable condition that needs reliable kitchens, bathrooms, floors, reachable surfaces and living areas cleaned.
Explore Standard Cleaning →
Choose Deep Cleaning
For a home where accessible baseboards, frames, cabinet exteriors, backsplash or safely reachable areas beneath furniture need added attention.

Deep Cleaning vs Standard Cleaning at a glance.
The honest difference is scope—not effort, care or the age of the home.
| Decision | Standard Cleaning | Deep Cleaning |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Maintain a home that is already in reasonable condition | Reset the approved detail areas where visible buildup has accumulated |
| Core rooms | Bedrooms, living areas, hallways, stairs, kitchen and bathrooms | The same rooms and every Standard task, plus added detail |
| Added detail | Routine reachable surfaces, fixtures, floors and household bins | Accessible baseboards, frames, cabinet exteriors, backsplash and beneath safely accessible furniture |
| Best fit | Regular upkeep, a maintained first visit or recurring service | Visible buildup along the approved detail areas or a fuller seasonal reset |
| Starting price | From $118 | From $198 |

Choose by what you see
Four situations that make the right service clearer.
Time since the last professional clean can be a clue. The surfaces in front of you are better evidence.
The everyday rooms need attention, but the detail still looks under control.
The goal is a clean kitchen, bathrooms, floors, reachable surfaces and living areas—not a reset of accumulated baseboard, frame or cabinet-exterior buildup.
The room looks mostly clean until you notice the edges.
Dust or residue is visible along accessible baseboards, door and window frames, cabinet exteriors, backsplash or beneath safely reachable furniture.
You are starting recurring cleaning from a maintained home.
A first visit does not automatically need Deep Cleaning. If Standard matches the home’s condition, choose it and set the weekly, bi-weekly, every-three-weeks or monthly rhythm you want.
The home is empty, newly renovated or needs specialist work.
Move In/Out Cleaning adds turnover priorities. Post-Construction Cleaning addresses ordinary renovation dust and residue. Neither situation should be squeezed into Standard or Deep simply because those names are familiar.

How much more does Deep Cleaning cost?
These examples use the same bedrooms, bathrooms and home-size range. The difference comes from the added Deep Cleaning scope.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed · 1 bath · under 1,000 sq. ft. | $185.73 | $270.78 | $85.05 |
| 2 bed · 2 bath · 1,000–1,499 sq. ft. | $259.23 | $377.88 | $118.65 |

More detail is not automatically more value
What Deep Cleaning does not include unless you select it.
“Deep” means the approved added checklist. It does not mean every possible household task is silently included. This keeps the comparison honest and lets you spend on the details that change the result.
- Inside the oven
- Inside the refrigerator
- Inside cabinets
- Interior windows and tracks
- Blinds
- Interior wall spot-cleaning
- Basement or an additional kitchen

The right checklist sets the expectation before the visit.
Authentic Google feedback about pricing, checklist clarity, communication and the finished clean.
Read our Google reviews ↗“We booked a deep cleaning for our townhouse in Surrey before family came over, and the results were better than expected. The bathrooms, kitchen, and baseboards looked great, and the whole house felt fresh. The team was friendly, worked hard, and never made us feel rushed. We'll definitely be booking recurring cleaning.”
“Couldn’t be happier with this cleaning crew! They’re reliable, always on time, and do an amazing job from top to bottom. Every visit leaves the place looking immaculate, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. If you’re anywhere in the Lower Mainland, I definitely recommend checking them out.”
“Arrived on time and cleaned thoroughly!”
After the reset
Use Deep Cleaning when needed. Use recurring Standard Cleaning to stay ahead.
Deep Cleaning solves added detail. Recurring Standard Cleaning handles the repeatable work that keeps kitchens, bathrooms, floors and living areas from returning to their starting point.

Deep Cleaning and Standard Cleaning questions.
If the checklist already makes the answer clear, choose the service and get the price for your home.
Standard Cleaning handles routine work across bedrooms, living areas, kitchens and bathrooms. Deep Cleaning includes every Standard task and adds approved detail such as accessible baseboards, window sills and frames, door frames, kitchen cabinet exteriors, backsplash, bathroom doors and cabinet exteriors, plus beneath safely accessible furniture.
Not automatically. Choose Standard Cleaning for a maintained home when its checklist matches the result you need. Choose Deep Cleaning when visible buildup along the added detail areas makes Standard too limited for the current condition.
NearMe Standard Cleaning starts from $118 and Deep Cleaning starts from $198. The exact difference depends on bedrooms, bathrooms, home-size range and the details selected for the visit.
No. NearMe keeps appliance and cabinet interiors as selectable extras, so you add only the work the home needs. Deep Cleaning still includes the complete Standard checklist plus its approved baseboard, frame, cabinet-exterior, backsplash and safely accessible detail work.
No. Move In/Out Cleaning includes the Standard and Deep foundations plus approved turnover work such as accessible vents and ceiling dust, ceiling fans, range-hood detail and behind safely movable appliances. Reachable interior wall spot-cleaning remains a selectable add-on. Use the move service when an empty-home handoff is the goal.
Yes. Standard Cleaning works as a one-time clean or the checklist for recurring service. The right choice depends on the home’s condition and the result you want, not whether the visit is your first or only booking.
Yes. Many households use Deep Cleaning when the added detail is needed, then maintain the home with recurring Standard Cleaning. NearMe offers weekly, bi-weekly, every-three-weeks and monthly schedules.
