Deep Clean: Your Guide to a Spotless Home

Ever wonder why a regular tidy up never feels quite enough? That’s because surface cleaning only wipes the dust off. A deep clean goes under the surface, getting rid of grime that builds up over weeks or months. The result is a fresher smell, healthier air, and a home that actually looks as clean as it feels.

At Forti​s Cleaning Solutions we treat every deep clean like a mini‑renovation. We bring the right tools, eco‑friendly products and a plan that fits your schedule. Whether you’re prepping for a move, a big event, or just want a fresh start, a deep clean can make all the difference.

What a Deep Clean Includes

There’s more to a deep clean than vacuuming the carpet. Here’s a quick run‑through of the usual steps:

  • Kitchen: Clean appliances inside and out, degrease the oven, wipe down the fridge shelves, and mop the floor. Our post “How Long Should a Deep Kitchen Clean Take?” breaks down the exact timings for each task.
  • Bathrooms: Scrub tiles, remove soap scum from shower doors, disinfect toilets, and polish fixtures.
  • Living areas: Dust ceiling fans, clean under furniture, vacuum upholstery, and spot‑clean any stains. The “Best DIY Upholstery Cleaner” post gives safe, homemade solutions for stubborn marks.
  • Bedrooms: Flip mattresses, wash bedding, and wipe down all surfaces. If you’re battling urine odour, check out the guide on “What Kills Urine Smell in a Mattress?” for enzyme‑based fixes.
  • Floors: Sweep, mop, or steam clean depending on the material. For carpets, our “Shampoo vs Steam Cleaning” article helps you decide the best method.

Each room gets a focused, step‑by‑step treatment, so nothing gets missed.

Quick Tips to Speed Up Your Deep Clean

Deep cleaning doesn’t have to take all weekend. Try these simple tricks:

  1. Plan your route. Start at the top of the house and work down. Dust falls to the floor, so you won’t have to re‑clean.
  2. Gather all supplies first. A bucket, microfiber cloths, a spray bottle of vinegar‑baking soda mix, and a good vacuum will keep you moving.
  3. Set a timer. Work in 20‑minute bursts for each area. It keeps you focused and makes the job feel less overwhelming.
  4. Use natural cleaners. Baking soda and vinegar work wonders on oven doors, glass, and grout without harsh chemicals. Our “Baking Soda and Vinegar for Oven Door Glass” post shows the exact steps.
  5. Take short breaks. A quick stretch every hour prevents fatigue and keeps your energy up.
