Regular cleaning helps keep a property maintained, but there are times when certain areas need more attention and require deep cleaning services.
Built-up grime, hard-to-reach spaces, marks on walls, appliances, windows, skirting boards and other less frequently cleaned areas can all require a more thorough approach.
We understand this challenge for both home owners and businesses, and that is why Lifestyle Cleaning Services also provides deep cleaning services in Newcastle and surrounding areas for offices, commercial kitchens and residential properties, alongside our broader commercial cleaning services for local businesses. Every property is different, so we base the cleaning scope on the areas that actually need attention rather than using the same checklist for every job.
In this guide, we’ll look at the deep cleaning services our customers usually ask, what can be included in each type of clean, and when a deeper clean may be worth considering.
What is Included in Deep Cleaning Services?
There isn’t one set answer because a deep clean depends on the property.
An office deep clean can look completely different from a commercial kitchen deep clean. What one home needs may also be very different from the next.
Regular cleaning usually takes care of the jobs needed to keep a property maintained from week to week. Deep cleaning goes further by giving more time and attention to areas that may not be part of the usual cleaning routine.
Depending on the property, that might mean getting into window tracks, cleaning skirting boards, working on marks on walls, cleaning around appliances or giving kitchens, bathrooms and other heavily used areas a more thorough clean.
If you’re not sure what normally falls under a regular workplace cleaning service, we’ve also covered what’s included in office cleaning in more detail.
We’ve carried out deep cleans across different types of properties, including offices, warehouse areas, commercial kitchens and homes. Before starting, we can put together a clear scope based on the areas that need attention so you know what is included in the job.
Deep Cleaning Services We Offer in Newcastle, NSW and Surrounds
Different spaces come with different cleaning needs.
An office may need attention around desks, equipment and shared areas, while a commercial kitchen can involve grease build-up around appliances and food preparation areas. Residential deep cleaning may focus more on bathrooms, windows, floors and larger jobs that have built up over time.
Here are some of the deep cleaning services we provide.
1. Office Deep Cleaning
Even when you already have regular office cleaning, some areas can still need a more thorough clean from time to time.
Think about how much activity happens during a normal workday. Desks are used constantly, phones and keyboards are touched throughout the day, chairs are moved around, people prepare food in the staff kitchen and dirt gradually gathers around edges and less accessible areas.
Then there are jobs that may not need doing during every regular clean, such as wiping skirting boards, cleaning partition glass or getting underneath office furniture and equipment.
An office deep clean gives those areas more attention.
It can be useful after a particularly busy period, before an important event or client visit, as part of a periodic workplace refresh, or simply when the office needs more than its usual clean.
What Can Be Included in an Office Deep Clean?
Depending on the workplace and the areas that need attention, an office deep clean may include:
- Cleaning internal windows and office partition glass
- Wiping skirting boards
- Cleaning marks from walls where appropriate
- Dusting and cleaning fixtures
- Vacuuming carpets
- Cleaning desks and office equipment
- Wiping telephones and keyboards
- Cleaning around computer bases and printers
- Dusting underneath chairs
- Deep cleaning staff kitchen areas
- Cleaning inside and outside microwaves and fridges
- Wiping and polishing kitchen appliances
- Cleaning benches and cupboard surfaces
- Cleaning staffroom tables
- Vacuuming stairs and other carpeted areas
If the workplace also includes a warehouse or industrial area, we can include those spaces in the cleaning scope where required.
Our team is also trained in cross-contamination practices, which is especially important when cleaning different parts of a workplace such as offices, kitchens, bathrooms and shared spaces.
Every workplace is different, so we tailor the clean to the space and the areas that actually need doing.
2. Kitchen Deep Cleaning for Restaurants, Hotels and Other Commercial Kitchens
Commercial kitchens are busy environments, and much of the everyday cleaning needs to happen while staff are also preparing food, serving customers and keeping the kitchen running.
Benches are wiped down, floors are cleaned and equipment is maintained as part of the normal routine. But some areas can require more time and attention than staff can reasonably give them during regular service.
Grease, food residue, dust and dirt can gradually build up around appliances, shelving, walls, floors and harder-to-access areas.
That is where a commercial kitchen deep clean can help.
We can provide intensive kitchen cleaning for restaurants, hotels, cafés, clubs, bars and other hospitality businesses, including businesses preparing their premises ahead of a hygiene or safety inspection.
Professional cleaning does not guarantee the outcome of an inspection. Food businesses remain responsible for meeting their own food safety requirements and compliance obligations.
What a deep clean can do is help tackle areas where built-up grease, dirt and residue need more attention than a normal daily cleaning routine can provide.
What Can Be Included in a Commercial Kitchen Deep Clean?
Depending on the kitchen and the agreed cleaning scope, this may include:
- Scrubbing and disinfecting appliances
- Cleaning ovens inside and out
- Cleaning cooktops and large grills
- Cleaning rangehoods and accessible ducting
- Scrubbing and cleaning kitchen shelves
- Cleaning benches
- Cleaning railings
- Cleaning windows
- Cleaning walls and ceilings
- Cleaning underneath accessible kitchen appliances
- Scrubbing and mopping accessible floors
- Cleaning and polishing stainless steel surfaces
- Cleaning freezer and oven fronts
We can also discuss cleaning products and methods based on the requirements of the kitchen and the surfaces being cleaned.
Add Ons
1. Coolroom Cleaning
Where required, the deep clean can also extend into coolroom areas.
This may include:
- Scrubbing accessible coolroom floors
- Wiping down shelving
2. Bar Area Cleaning
Restaurants, hotels, clubs and other hospitality venues may also need the bar area included in the job.
Depending on the scope, this may include:
- Cleaning and disinfecting inside fridges
- Cleaning and polishing stainless steel
- Scrubbing and mopping accessible floors
- Cleaning shelving and glass holders
Commercial kitchens can vary significantly in size, layout and equipment, so it is important to establish what needs cleaning before the work begins.
This also gives us a chance to identify any areas that may need additional time or access arrangements, particularly around large appliances or fixed equipment.
3. Residential Deep Cleaning
While commercial cleaning is now a major focus for us, we still provide residential deep cleaning for residents across Newcastle and surrounding areas who need help with larger one-off cleaning jobs.
Sometimes the usual house clean simply isn’t enough. Other times, life gets busy and the bigger cleaning jobs are the first things to fall behind.
A mum caring for a newborn, for example, may already be juggling feeding, disrupted sleep, appointments, washing and everything else that comes with looking after a new baby. Finding the time or energy for a major clean on top of that can be difficult.
Other households may have gone through a particularly busy few months. You may have visitors coming and want to get the home back in order, or the jobs you have been meaning to tackle may simply have started adding up.
In those situations, bringing in a deep cleaner can take one practical job off your plate.
We can provide residential deep cleaning based on what you need help with, as long as the service is not an end-of-lease clean.
What Can Be Included in Residential Deep Cleaning?
Depending on the home and the cleaning requested, residential deep cleaning may include:
- Cleaning internal and external windows
- Cleaning window tracks
- Deep cleaning bathroom floors
- Scrubbing shower tiles and floors
- Cleaning bathroom exhaust areas
- Cleaning walls where required
- Cleaning behind accessible appliances such as the fridge
- Deep cleaning kitchen floors
- Shampooing and disinfecting carpets where requested
- Cleaning inside wardrobes
- Cleaning wardrobe walls, doors and shelving
You do not necessarily need everything on that list.
If there are certain rooms or jobs that are causing the most trouble, let us know. We can build the clean around what you actually need rather than adding work that is not necessary.
If windows are one of the main areas needing attention, we also offer dedicated window cleaning for residential and commercial properties.
When Is It Time for a Deep Clean?
There is no set rule for how often a property needs deep cleaning.
Some businesses may schedule a deeper clean periodically alongside their regular cleaning service. Others may only need one when particular areas have started to need extra attention.
You might consider deep cleaning services when:
- Regular cleaning is no longer getting to everything that needs attention
- Dirt or grime has built up in less frequently cleaned areas
- Your workplace needs a more thorough refresh after a busy period
- You are preparing your business for an event or important visitors
- Your hospitality venue needs a more intensive kitchen clean
- Larger cleaning jobs at home have started piling up
You do not need to wait until the whole property feels difficult to manage.
Sometimes there are simply a few areas that need more time and attention than the normal cleaning routine allows.
Why the Cleaning Scope Matters
When comparing deep cleaning services, it is worth looking at more than the price.
One company’s idea of a “deep clean” may be different from another’s.
For example, one quote may include windows, window tracks, walls, kitchen appliances and carpet cleaning, while another may focus mainly on floors and general surface cleaning.
Knowing what is included makes it much easier to compare the service properly.
We base the cleaning scope on the property and what you need help with.
If there are particular areas you want us to focus on, point them out. If certain equipment or surfaces need extra consideration, let us know before the job begins.
And if you are not sure what needs to be included, we can talk through the property with you and work out what makes sense for the job.
