Deep home cleaning
Deep Home Cleaning
The reset that reaches what regular cleaning doesn't — baked-on grease, grout, a spot-clean of baseboards, vents, and every overlooked corner — brought back top to bottom by a background-checked cleaner.
About this service
A true deep clean, tailored to your home
Center City · Rittenhouse · Fishtown · Northern Liberties · Queen Village · South Philly · University City · Old City · Fairmount · West Philly · Mount Airy
A deep clean shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. We've delivered them across Philadelphia since 2021, and a Center City condo, a Rittenhouse brownstone, and a West Philly row home each get their own approach, products, and order of attack.
This is the reset for move-in day, the end of a long winter, before guests arrive, or any time the home needs more than upkeep. Hardwood, vintage tile, marble, plaster moulding, exposed brick — handled with care, restored to a shine, and left genuinely sanitized. Every deep clean is handled by a cleaner who is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence.

“Small things - excellent attention to handles and knobs; even the coffee pot was cleaned! Great job on bathtub, floors, and dusting throughout the apartment. Cleaners were quick and professional - highly recommended!”
Special clean handoff
Our Comprehensive House Deep Cleaning Services
Some deep cleans sit between ordinary upkeep and a full move service. After renovation work, fine dust settles along trim, vents, window tracks, and the edges of exposed brick even when the room looks finished. For a short-term rental or a home changing hands, the same careful reset can be shaped around the surfaces and rooms that need evidence of completion — with photos and a written summary available for a landlord, property manager, or homeowner who won't be present.
The record stays practical: which rooms were addressed, which requested extras were completed, and any access note that matters at handoff — a clear account of the work for whoever receives the home. If the main goal is an empty-home inspection, the dedicated move-in / move-out service is the better fit; this deep-clean option is built for renovation residue, accumulated grime, or a furnished home's reset.
Documentation available on request
Booking to reset
What to Expect When You Book A Deep Home Cleaning With Us
Booking begins with the home's size, the areas that need the reset, and the details that change the plan — pets, sensitivities, delicate finishes, recent renovation dust, or access constraints. Many apartments and row homes can be priced from those details without an in-home visit; for a larger property or an unusual layout, a walkthrough may be the clearer way to define scope and timing. Either way, you review the flat, all-in price and the priorities before choosing a date.
On cleaning day, your vetted local pro arrives inside the scheduled window with the supplies for the agreed work. If you're home, use the first few minutes to point out priority rooms or fragile surfaces; if you're away, leave exact entry instructions. The visit moves top to bottom and room by room, then closes with a summary of what was completed. If something isn't right, tell us within 48 hours and we'll make it right.

How a deep clean moves through the home
Each Philadelphia home sets its own order of attack, but the work reaches from built-up grime to the finishes that need a gentler hand.
- The grime pass
The oven and range hood are degreased, tile and grout are deep-scrubbed, and hard-water and soap scum are removed.
- The overlooked pass
Deep includes a spot-clean of baseboards; window tracks, vents, ceiling fans, light fixtures, door frames, switch plates, and spaces around movable furniture get their turn too.
- The full refresh
The kitchen and bath are sanitized, cabinet fronts are degreased, pet odors are neutralized, and the fridge is cleaned on request.
- The careful finish
Hardwood, marble, vintage tile, exposed brick, and plaster are handled with care, with spot treatment for upholstery and carpet.

Or book on the web →How is a deep clean different from a regular clean?
A regular clean maintains a home that's already in rhythm. A deep clean resets one that isn't — reaching built-up grease, grout, a spot-clean of baseboards, vents, and inside appliances that upkeep doesn't touch. It takes longer and is the right first visit for most new clients.
How long does a deep clean take?
More than a standard visit — typically a half to a full day depending on home size and condition. You'll see the flat price and the plan before you book; we'd rather take the time to do it right than rush it.
Do you bring supplies and products?
Yes. Your cleaner arrives with professional equipment and eco-friendly, people- and pet-safe products. Have allergies or a product you'd rather we use — or avoid? Tell us and we'll honor it.
How much does deep home cleaning cost in Philadelphia?
Deep home cleaning starts at $285, flat and all-in, based on your home's size and the kind of reset it needs, with supplies included. For context, a standard visit starts at $160; deep cleaning goes further into built-up grease, grout, a spot-clean of baseboards, vents, and inside appliances. Your full deep-clean price is shown before you book, so you can review the scope and total together, and any applicable tax appears on the final total once your ZIP is entered.
Do I need to be home during a deep clean?
No. You do not need to be home for a deep clean. Before the visit, share the access method that works for you, such as a lockbox, key, smart-lock code, or door code. If there are delicate surfaces or particular areas you want prioritized, include those details as well so the cleaner can follow the plan for your Philadelphia home.
Can you clean behind furniture during a deep clean?
Yes, when the furniture is movable. Deep cleaning covers behind and under movable furniture, along with window tracks, sills, vents, ceiling fans, light fixtures, door frames, and switch plates. The goal is to reach the areas a regular visit leaves alone. If a piece should not be moved, flag it before the visit.
How are cleaners vetted for deep-cleaning visits?
Every Hometress cleaner is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence. That same standard applies to deep-cleaning visits, whether the reset is for a row home, condo, or brownstone. The vetting is part of the service, and the flat all-in price includes cleaning supplies.
What if I'm not happy with the clean?
Tell us within 48 hours. We review the concern and make it right — a free re-clean of the affected area, or a credit or refund on that portion. That's the White Glove Guarantee.
