Deep clean vs standard clean: what's the actual difference
Not a bigger version of the same job — a different scope entirely.
Standard clean
The regular maintenance clean — kitchens, bathrooms, floors and surfaces kept on top of, either as a one-off or on a schedule. It assumes the property is already in reasonably good condition and is keeping it that way, not resetting it.
Deep clean
Everything a standard clean covers, plus the buildup a regular clean doesn't reach: behind and inside appliances, inside cupboards, limescale, skirting boards, the corners that get missed week to week. It's the right choice after a while without a proper clean, before a big event, or simply on a longer cycle (say, quarterly) alongside a lighter regular clean in between.
How the platform actually describes condition
When you post a job on ClearView you can flag the general condition as light, standard, or heavy — heavy specifically meaning significant build-up of grease, mould or dirt that will need extra time. That's what actually determines whether a job is a standard clean or a deep clean in practice, more than the label itself: a "standard" clean on a property that hasn't been done in months is really a deep clean, and describing it as heavy gets you quotes that account for that rather than ones that don't.
