Deep Cleaning

The ultimate home restoration. A top-to-bottom detail designed to eliminate heavy buildup and return your home to immaculate condition.

What is Deep Cleaning?

Deep Cleaning is a professional cleaning service that the ultimate home restoration. a top-to-bottom detail designed to eliminate heavy buildup and return your home to immaculate condition. Unlike regular cleaning, deep cleaning addresses hidden grime, sanitizes inside appliances, cleans baseboards and light fixtures, and resets your home to pristine condition—recommended every 3-6 months or before starting recurring service.

Service Overview

Our Deep Cleaning is the foundational service for a truly healthy home. Recommended as an initial service for all new clients or as a quarterly refresh, this rigorous detail goes far beyond surface maintenance. We target the "invisible" layer of dirt—the grime that accumulates on baseboards, the dust clinging to ceiling fans, and the residue on cabinet fronts.

What Makes Deep Cleaning Different

A Standard Cleaning maintains your home's cleanliness. A Deep Cleaning transforms it. Think of it as pressing the reset button—we address the buildup that accumulates over months or even years, returning your home to a baseline of true cleanliness that's easier to maintain going forward.

This service takes significantly more time than a standard cleaning because we're not just wiping surfaces—we're detail-cleaning every area of your home. From scrubbing grout lines to removing hard water deposits, from dusting individual blinds to cleaning the tops of door frames, we leave nothing untouched.

Complete Transparency in Our Process

We believe you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for. Before your Deep Cleaning appointment, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of what's included. Our detailed checklist (available below) shows every task we'll complete, so there are no surprises.

During the cleaning, our team works methodically room by room. If we encounter areas that need additional attention beyond our standard scope—such as heavy staining or significant buildup—we'll communicate with you before proceeding. You're always in control, and we never add charges without your approval.

After we finish, we invite you to walk through your home with our team. We want you to see the difference and ask any questions. Your satisfaction isn't just a goal—it's our standard.

Customer-Focused Service From Start to Finish

Scheduling a Deep Cleaning should be easy. Contact us by phone or online, and we'll discuss your home's specific needs. How long has it been since the last professional cleaning? Are there particular areas of concern? Do you have pets or specific products you prefer we use? We listen carefully so we can tailor our approach.

On the day of your service, our team arrives on time with all necessary supplies and equipment. We respect your home—wearing shoe covers, protecting your furniture, and treating your belongings with care. We bring our own professional-grade cleaning products unless you have specific preferences.

Throughout the cleaning, we're available to answer questions or address concerns. You're welcome to remain home, step out, or work from another room. Many clients use Deep Cleaning days as an opportunity to run errands, returning to a transformed home.

Our Rigorous Training and Standards

Every Metla cleaner has undergone extensive training in our Deep Cleaning protocol. They understand the proper techniques for different surfaces—how to safely clean natural stone versus tile, how to address stainless steel without leaving streaks, how to remove buildup without damaging finishes.

We're fully insured and bonded, and every team member has passed thorough background checks. When you trust us with your home, you can have confidence that our team is professional, reliable, and committed to excellence.

Before Starting Recurring Service: If it's been more than a month since your last professional cleaning, we start with a Deep Clean to establish a proper baseline.

Seasonal Refresh: Many San Diego homeowners schedule quarterly deep cleans—particularly before the holidays, after fire season, or at the start of summer.

Special Occasions: Hosting a major event? A Deep Clean ensures your home makes the right impression on guests.

After Extended Absence: Returning from a long trip? A Deep Clean addresses the dust and staleness that accumulates in vacant homes.
