Deep Cleaning and Spring Cleaning in Perth

There is no Australian standard and no industry scope for a deep clean or a spring clean. Every checklist you find online was written by whoever is selling it.

So the name alone tells you little. We send a written scope listing the rooms and tasks, you take things off or add them, and that document is what you are buying.

The one useful distinction is why you are booking. A deep clean is usually for a home that has fallen behind, while a spring clean is a well kept home getting its annual once-over. The rooms are the same, but the deep clean takes longer on each, which is why it sits higher on the rate card.

The first is autumn, before the winter rain. Flyscreens, window tracks and external glass are worth doing while it is still dry, and a home about to be shut up for the wet months is better closed clean than closed dusty.

The second is spring, before summer. Councils set their own fire hazard deadlines for vegetation, so it is a natural time to get the inside done while the yard is being cleared. Check your own council's date rather than assuming.

Spring is also when evaporative air conditioners get their pre-summer service. We clean the grilles and vents inside while the unit itself goes to a service technician.

Rangehood filters are the exception people notice: the more you fry, the sooner the mesh clogs. Ovens depend just as much on how you cook, and a pyrolytic oven needs far less hands-on cleaning than one without.

Ceiling fans, skirtings, window tracks, flyscreens, light fittings and exhaust fans have no official interval. Book it when the house tells you, or tie it to autumn or spring so it actually happens.
