Understanding the Difference Between a General, Deep, Restoration, and Post-Renovation Cleaning

Choosing the right cleaning plan for your home

When choosing a cleaning service, one of the most common questions we receive at All Sleek Services KC is:“What’s the difference between a general cleaning and a deep cleaning — and what about restoration or post-renovation cleaning?”

Here’s a clear breakdown to help you choose the best option for your home and lifestyle.

🧼 General Cleaning (Quick Refresh / Maintenance Cleaning)

Also known as a Quick Refresh or Maintenance Cleaning, this type of service is designed to freshen up your home and maintain a clean environment between deeper cleanings.

It includes:

• Dusting all surfaces (high and low)

• Vacuuming and mopping floors

• Sanitizing and refreshing bathrooms

• Wiping kitchen surfaces and appliances (exterior only)

• Refreshing bedrooms and common areas

This cleaning is perfect for homes that are already in good shape and just need a light refresh — ideal for families or individuals without heavy grime, pet hair, or buildup.

✅ Best for: Homes that are cleaned regularly📅 Recommended frequency: Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly💲 Average cost: $135 – $450 (for up to 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms)

🧽 Deep Cleaning (Full Reset Cleaning)

A Deep Cleaning is a more detailed reset of your space — ideal when your home needs extra attention and care.

It targets areas that are often missed during routine cleanings, such as:

• Heavier scrubbing of bathrooms (showers, tubs, and toilets)

• Extra time spent on kitchen grease and buildup

• Vacuuming for pet hair and dust under furniture

• Wiping down all reachable surfaces and baseboards

• Detailed attention to corners and high-traffic areas

This type of cleaning is great for families who have been too busy to clean thoroughly, pet owners dealing with hair and odor, or homeowners preparing for a fresh start.

✅ Best for: Homes that haven’t been cleaned deeply in 2–3 months📅 Recommended frequency: Every 3–6 months💲 Average cost: $200 – $650 (for up to 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms)

Shower Restoration Cleaning

🧴 Restoration Cleaning (Heavy-Duty Recovery Cleaning)

A Restoration Cleaning goes beyond a deep clean — it’s a full recovery for homes that have been heavily neglected or need to be brought back to life.

Think of this as restoring, not just cleaning. It involves:

• Specialized equipment (steamers, degreasers, acids, etc.)

• Removing heavy grease buildup in kitchens

• Treating bathrooms with rust, calcification, and mold

• Restoring neglected surfaces and fixtures as much as possible

Because of the severity, some areas may not fully return to their original condition and may require repainting, resurfacing, or replacement after cleaning.

✅ Best for: Homes with long-term neglect, renters moving into old units, or spaces needing a full reset📅 Recommended frequency: As needed (one-time or multi-visit)💲 Average cost: $350 – $1,000 (for up to 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms)

🧰 Post-Renovation / Construction Cleaning

After a renovation or construction project, homes are often covered in fine dust, debris, and residue that regular cleaning can’t handle.

A Post-Renovation Cleaning includes:

• Detailed dust removal from walls, baseboards, vents, and light fixtures

• Cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, and closets

• Vacuuming and mopping multiple times to remove construction dust

• Sanitizing bathrooms and kitchens affected by debris

This type of cleaning ensures your new or remodeled space is move-in ready and safe to enjoy.

✅ Best for: New builds, remodeling projects, or after home improvements💲 Average cost: $350 – $900 depending on size and condition

Oven Cleaning

🚫 Optional Add-Ons (Not Included in Standard Packages)

All cleaning types above exclude the following, but they can be added upon request:

• Inside oven cleaning

• Inside refrigerator cleaning

• Inside cabinet cleaning

• Interior window cleaning

• Carpet cleaning

• Dishwashing or bottle cleaning

Add-ons range between $35 – $75 each depending on size and scope.
