Deep Cleaning in Gulfport

What deep cleaning covers

• Inside the oven and the fridge, with the shelves taken out
• Behind and under the fridge, the stove and the washer
• Baseboards, door frames, switch plates and the tops of the doors
• Hard-water buildup on the shower glass, the tile and the faucets
• Ceiling fans, vents and light fixtures done by hand
• Cabinet fronts degreased, handles and edges included

What is usually not included

• Emptying packed cabinets and closets, which belongs to a move-out clean
• Carpet and upholstery extraction, a separate job with a machine and drying time
• Damage rather than dirt: etched glass, worn grout, stained caulk

When to book deep cleaning

Book this the first time you hire someone, after a renovation, before guests, or when a regular clean is no longer enough. It takes considerably longer than a standard clean and costs more.

How long it takes

Expect it to run much longer than a regular clean. The clock is set by how long it has been: the further back the last one, the more there is to take apart and put back.

What makes the price go up

• High ceilings, since the fans, vents and light fixtures then need a ladder in every room
• Hard water, which turns shower glass and faucets into a scraping job
• A greasy range hood with filters, and an oven that has never been done
• Pets and long hair, which collect in carpet edges, vents and baseboards

What to ask before you book

• Is the inside of the oven and the fridge included, or is it extra?
• How many people are coming, and how long do you expect to be here?
• Will the shower glass come clean, or is it stained for good?

What deep cleaning looks like in Gulfport

Gulfport sits on the Mississippi Sound, with the beach and the highway running right along the water. The air stays heavy and damp most of the year, summer storms roll through in the afternoon, and spring coats the coast in yellow pine pollen. Older wood-frame houses are common, and closer to the water plenty of them stand raised on piers.

Beach sand travels indoors on shoes and settles into porch boards and door thresholds. Pine pollen turns windowsills, porch rails and screens yellow for weeks each spring. Air off the Sound keeps bathrooms and closets from drying on their own, so airing out and wiping down surfaces matters as much as the floors.
