What is a Deep Clean? A deep clean is a more intensive and thorough cleaning service. It focuses on cleaning neglected or hard-to-reach areas, removing built-up grime, and addressing areas that are not typically included in a standard clean. This is Maryland Cleaning Services’ checklist, but feel free to discuss requests with your cleaner.
