What Is Included in a Deep Clean in Calgary?

A deep clean is a comprehensive, top-to-bottom service that addresses every area of your home — including the ones that standard cleaning skips. Here is the complete checklist of what professional deep cleaning includes in Calgary.

Kitchen — Deep Clean Checklist

**Standard clean scope (included):** - Counters, stovetop surface, sink, appliance exteriors, cabinet fronts, backsplash, trash

**Additional deep clean scope:** - Inside the oven — full interior scrub including walls, racks, and oven door glass - Inside the refrigerator — all shelves and drawers removed and washed, door seals scrubbed, interior walls wiped - Inside all kitchen cabinets and drawers — surfaces wiped, crumbs removed, hardware cleaned - Range hood filter removed and degreased - Behind and under the stove (slide-in ranges) where accessible - Under the refrigerator (if accessible)

Bathrooms — Deep Clean Checklist

**Standard clean scope (included):** - Toilet, sink, shower/tub surfaces, mirrors, floors, trash

**Additional deep clean scope:** - Grout scrubbing with a grout brush — all tile surfaces including shower walls and floor tiles - Descaling of all faucets, handles, and showerheads — critical in Calgary due to very hard water - Full clean behind and beside the toilet including the floor area at the base - Exhaust fan cover removed and cleaned - Inside bathroom vanity cabinet (under sink area) - Toilet tank exterior cleaned

Throughout the Home — Deep Clean Checklist

**Baseboards**: Wiped on the top surface, face, and floor edge — not just dusted **Window sills and window tracks**: Tracks vacuumed and wiped of debris and calcium deposits **Light fixtures and ceiling fans**: Wiped down, fan blades cleaned both sides **Blinds**: Each slat wiped individually **Light switches and outlet covers**: Disinfected — one of the highest-touch, least-cleaned surfaces in any home **Door frames and tops of doors**: Dusted and wiped **Vent covers**: Vacuumed and wiped — important in Calgary where HVAC runs heavily

What Is Not Included Even in a Deep Clean

• **Laundry**: Not included in any standard clean type
• **Carpet steam cleaning**: A separate service requiring specialized equipment
• **Exterior windows**: Outside surfaces require separate booking
• **Wall washing**: Spot cleaning of marks is included, but full wall washing is a separate service
• **Mould remediation**: Professional mould treatment requires a certified specialist, not a cleaning crew
• **Pest-related cleaning**: If there is evidence of rodents or insects, a cleaning crew cannot address this

Calgary-Specific Deep Clean Priorities

**Hard water descaling**: Calgary homes require extra time and commercial-grade descaling agents compared to most other Canadian cities. The white calcium buildup on shower glass, taps, and grout is the area where Calgary deep cleans differ most from what you might experience in a softer-water city. Professional cleaners use citric acid solutions, CLR-type commercial products, and mechanical scrubbing — the combination of which removes buildup that household products do not address.

**Oven cleaning**: Ovens in Calgary homes that have been used for a full winter of warming and heavy cooking require significant cleaning. Carbonized buildup on oven walls and racks is one of the most time-intensive tasks in a deep clean and the area most commonly skipped by homeowners doing their own cleaning.
