Deep Cleaning
A slower, more detailed clean for what routine cleaning keeps missing.
What it is
Deep cleaning goes after what a routine clean leaves behind: grease around the stove, build-up in the shower, dust on baseboards, edges and the tops of things. It takes considerably longer than a standard clean, and the scope depends on the condition the home is actually in.
What is usually included
Scope is agreed between you and the cleaner, so treat this as the shape of the job rather than a contract. Anything you need that is not here belongs in your request notes.
- Detailed kitchen work, including around and behind appliances where they can be reached
- Detailed bathroom work on tile, grout lines, fixtures and glass
- Baseboards, door frames, switch plates and trim
- Dusting into corners, edges and the tops of furniture and fittings
- Floors cleaned in detail, including edges
- Surfaces that routine cleaning skips
- Extra time on whatever has built up most
- Scope adjusted to the condition of the home
Add-ons you can tick in the request form: Inside Fridge, Oven Cleaning, Windows (in/out), Carpet Cleaning.

What happens after you send the request
You describe the job
Your ZIP code, the property details, the day you want and anything specific. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
It reaches cleaners near you
Only professionals whose service area covers your ZIP, who offer this type of cleaning, and whose ID has been approved by our team.
One of them replies
The first available cleaner takes the request and a conversation opens, where you can ask about scope, timing and price.
You accept or decline
Look at their profile and rating, then decide. If you decline, the request goes back out to another cleaner automatically.
You pay the cleaner directly
Requesting costs you nothing. The price is what you and the cleaner agree, and it is paid to them, not to Verliks.
Worth having ready
The condition matters more than the size here, so be specific about the worst areas and how long it has been. Photos of the kitchen and bathrooms help a lot — they are what make the difference between an estimate that holds and one that changes on the day.
Questions about deep cleaning
How is this different from standard cleaning?
Time and depth. A standard clean keeps a maintained home in shape. A deep clean is slower, works on build-up rather than surface dust, and reaches trim, edges, corners and the areas behind and around things.
Will one deep clean fix everything?
Not always. Hard-water stains, discoloured grout and long-standing build-up sometimes improve rather than disappear, and some of it is damage rather than dirt. A cleaner who has seen photos can tell you what to expect before you commit.
How much does this cost?
There is no fixed price. It depends on the property, its condition, the scope, your location and the professional. The cleaner who takes your request discusses it with you in the conversation, before anything is booked.
Can I ask for a specific cleaner?
Yes. You can send a request straight to a professional whose profile you have seen, and it goes to them rather than into the general matching. If they are not available, the request falls back to cleaners near you.
Does every cleaner offer this service?
No. Each professional lists the types of cleaning they take on, and requests are only matched to cleaners who offer this one and who cover your area.
Can I add extra work to the request?
Describe it in the notes when you send the request. The cleaner confirms in the conversation what they include and whether the extra work is something they can do.
