FIRST TIME DEEP CLEANING

If you’re booking our recurring residential cleaning services, we recommend starting off strong with a First Time Deep Clean. Think of it as hitting the reset button on your home — especially if it hasn’t been professionally cleaned in the last 45 days. This deeper clean sets the stage for future visits, letting our team take care of the built-up dust, hidden grime, and hard-to-reach spots so your regular service can really shine.

Whether you’re getting ready for an upcoming event, moving into a new home, or just long overdue for a deeper scrub, deep cleaning isn’t just a luxury — it’s the kind of service that helps your home stay healthier and fresher for longer. And it actually saves you time down the road. No more spring cleaning marathons or scrubbing baseboards when you’d rather be enjoying your weekend. We make the process stress-free and straightforward, leaving you with a freshly cleaned feel from top to bottom.

Deep cleaning goes beyond surface-level tidying. It’s all about reaching those areas that gather dust, grease, and stubborn grime over time.

The goal is to make your home feel cleaner — not just visually, but in terms of hygiene, smell, and comfort. Standard cleaning can take care of what’s on the surface, but deep cleaning helps reset your space and eliminate the stuff that slowly builds up over time. It’s also a smart move before switching seasons, after an illness in the household, or as part of a quarterly refresh.

It’s not about making your space look perfect — it’s about making it healthier to live in and easier to maintain afterward. Whether you’re in Ottawa, Gatineau or surrounding areas, our team can help bring that reset to life, with cleaning tailored to your unique routines, needs, and schedule.

Deep cleaning isn’t just a good idea for busy households. It can be an effective solution for a wide range of people and situations. Anyone who’s recently completed a renovation, moved to a new home, or experienced a change in their day-to-day routine can benefit. It’s helpful for households with pets or allergy-sensitive occupants and has major perks for seniors who may find it difficult to reach certain areas.

This type of cleaning also makes sense for people with packed schedules who simply don’t have the time or energy to scrub baseboards or clean drawer handles. Life gets busy – between family, work, and just staying on top of the basics, deep cleaning usually sinks to the bottom of the list. That’s where calling in outside help becomes not just practical but smart. Delegating these bigger clean-up projects allows people to focus on what they care about most — without sacrificing a clean, comfortable home environment.

There are plenty of reasons people in Ottawa turn to The Glebe Clean for deep cleaning. We’re a local business built by a team that understands the city’s climate and lifestyle, how winters create salt in the entryways and how fall tends to bring in more dust.
