If you are considering hiring a cleaner, it can be difficult to know whether you require regular or professional cleaning. 

Regular cleaning services consist of basic chores that keep your home clean, whereas professional cleaning delivers a far more intensive clean that makes your entire property spotless.

ICE Cleaning is a specialist cleaning company that offers a wide range of professional cleaning services including mould remediation, fire damage cleaning, and end of lease cleaning. Its technicians are available nationwide, 365 days a year. 

Read on to find out the specific differences between professional and regular cleaning. 

Each service consists of different tasks

Regular cleaning takes care of the tasks you should be doing yourself like vacuuming, tidying, and wiping down surfaces. Also known as domestic cleaning, it is a quick, surface-level clean that rids your home of visible dirt, dust, and clutter. 

On the other hand, professional cleaning consists of deep cleans of your entire property. The service includes wiping and dusting all the surfaces, cleaning the inside of all appliances, washing interior windows, and cleaning the carpet. 

Different products and equipment are required

Domestic cleaners will probably use your own products and cleaning equipment, like your hoover, mop, and cloths, to clean your property. 

For a more intensive, professional clean that cuts through all the built-up dust, limescale, and stubborn grime, cleaners will use their own specialist cleaning products and equipment. This includes strong disinfectants and carpet cleaners, for example.

Specialist expertise is needed for professional cleaning

Professional and regular cleans are both carried out by cleaning experts, but the former requires far more technical knowledge. 

They will know all the places to find dust, dirt, and debris, including in difficult-to-reach areas, and be able to use their cleaning chemicals and equipment safely and effectively. Specialist cleaners can also provide additional services, like carpet or upholstery cleaning. 

Deeper, more thorough cleaning will take longer

On average, a regular clean will take a couple of hours, depending on the size of your property. A professional clean, on the other hand, should take more time as there are a greater number of tasks to complete and furniture may need to be moved. 

Which one should you choose?

If you want someone to take care of the chores you don’t have the time for, a domestic cleaner can keep your property clean and tidy. 

Or, if you are a tenant and want to ensure you get your deposit back, opt for professional cleaning to make sure the property is thoroughly cleaned to your landlord’s standards. 

ICE Cleaning’s technicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide their specialist cleaning services. They can be on site in several hours in an emergency.
