There are loads of domestic cleaning services that you can use to keep your house looking amazing throughout the year. Finding the right cleaning service for your needs can be tricky with so many available, though. So, below, we’re breaking down some common and less common domestic cleaning companies. So that when you next need a cleaning service, you know exactly what one you need.
What Types of Domestic Cleaning Are There?
Regular domestic cleaning
These are the cleaning sessions that we likely all know and love. They are where a cleaner will come to your home every week, fortnight or month and do the usual cleaning tasks that we don’t have time to do. This can include:
- Vacuuming
- Dusting
- Mopping
- General tidy
- Cleaning the bathroom and kitchen
- Changing the beds
- Washing and ironing clothes
This is the best domestic cleaning service to use if you are finding it difficult to do all of the cleaning tasks you need to do each week.
Housekeeping
Housekeeping is much the same as domestic cleaning services, only with a few handy additional services built in. The difference between housekeeping and more general domestic cleaning is that the cleaner can be with you for longer. The standard domestic house cleaning session is about two hours every week. However, a housekeeper can be with you for much longer than that.
A housekeeper can be hired full-time if you feel the need. Or they can be with you for eight hours a week, for example. A housekeeper will be with you for as long as you need them to be. The cleaning tasks a housekeeper does are very similar to the ones that a regular house cleaner does. They will do the vacuuming, dusting, washing up etc. But because they are with you for longer, they will be able to get all of the cleaning done for you.
Housekeepers also offer additional services like taking your kids to school or doing general shopping for you, for example. Now, not all housekeepers offer these additional services, so don’t forget to ask what is available to you before you hire a housekeeper.
Carpet Cleaning
Carpet cleaning is often used in addition to deep cleans to shampoo your carpets and make them look great again. However, this is a standalone cleaning service. If you’d like to keep your carpets looking in perfect condition, this is the best cleaning service to use.
A specialist carpet cleaning machine is used during this service. It pushes air and cleaning solution into the carpet and uses brushes to agitate the pile. It then extracts all of the dust and grime from your carpet, leaving it looking brand new again.
Carpet cleaning does what vacuuming can’t. Vacuuming is great at taking the top surface of grime, dust and hair off of a carpet, but it isn’t powerful enough to get deep into the pile. If you’ve moved furniture recently and seen a change in the colour of your carpet, this is the service to use to bring worn-out carpets back to life.
Deep cleans
Deep cleans play a vital role in keeping your home beautifully clean. Regular domestic cleaning is designed to ensure that your home is clean and tidy, but the cleaners don’t have time to move furniture, clean inside cupboards and that sort of thing. During a deep clean, though, all of these areas are cleaned as well as everything else.
Deep cleans are an excellent cleaning service to use if you’ve missed a few cleaning sessions or you have been without a domestic cleaner for a while. They allow you to start from scratch, and from there, a domestic cleaner will be able to keep your home nice and clean for you.
Upholstery Cleaning
Upholstery cleaning is similar to carpet cleaning. In that, it shampoos the upholstery and draws out all of the dust, hair and grime from the fabric. Again, a specialist upholstery cleaning machine is used to do this, and a specially designed cleaning solution is also used. This is gentle on the fabrics (tests will be done to ensure it won’t damage it) but tough on dirt.
Upholstery cleaning can keep your sofas, curtains, office furniture and more looking amazing over the years and is well worth considering if you are planning a deep clean soon.
