The Secrets of Deep Cleaning Everyone Should Know
Cleaning your home is a routine task. Dusting the shelves, mopping the floors, maybe a quick wipe-down of the counters. But deep cleaning? That's an entirely different game. It's not about just tidying up; it's about getting into those nooks and crannies no one talks about and reviving your space in ways you didn't know it needed.
Deep cleaning doesn't just make your space sparkle; it improves the overall quality of your life. But what sets it apart from regular cleaning, and why are more people investing in professional deep cleaning services? This blog explores the mysteries and tangible benefits of deep cleaning to show why it should be a staple in your cleaning routine.
Not all cleaning is created equal. Regular cleaning keeps things surface-level tidy. It's what you do to maintain a livable space daily or weekly. But deep cleaning is about addressing the hidden buildup that regular cleaning overlooks.
Deep cleaning goes beyond the basics. Think about it as cleaning behind, under, and within. Here are some examples: Scrubbing tiles, grout, and baseboards
Removing limescale from faucets and showerheads
Cleaning behind large appliances like refrigerators or ovens
Vacuuming and shampooing carpets and upholstery
Sanitizing often-overlooked areas like light switches and ceiling fans
These are the chores we rarely tackle in our day-to-day cleaning sprees. Over time, neglecting these areas can lead to dirt buildup, allergens, bacteria, and even a reduced lifespan of your furnishings.
When dirt lurks in invisible spaces like vents, corners, or the fibers of your carpet, it can contribute to indoor air quality issues and allergens. Dust mites, mold spores, and bacteria thrive in poorly cleaned areas. Deep cleaning eliminates these hazards, leaving your space healthier and fresher.
Cleaner indoor air isn't just a luxury; it's essential, especially if you or a family member deals with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions.
Whether it's spring, fall, or right before the holidays, there's no better time to deep clean than when you're at a crossroads of seasons or events. A sparkling clean home provides a mental and physical refresh, enhancing your mood and giving you a vibrant start to any season.
Think of it like hitting the reset button. It clears the slate of months (or even years) of unseen dirt, making it easier to maintain moving forward.
From hardwood floors to furniture, dirt and grime wear down your belongings over time. Deep cleaning helps preserve your investments. For example, carpets that undergo deep cleaning regularly can last significantly longer than those left to bake in dirt and stains.
When you omit deep cleaning, you're essentially speeding up wear and tear. Why spend money replacing items prematurely when routine deep cleaning services can save you in the long run?
A dirty home doesn't just affect your physical health; it affects your mental health, too. Clutter and dirt often contribute to stress without you realizing it. A clean, organized home has psychological benefits, offering a sense of peace, relaxation, and focus.
Life gets busy. Between work, family, and errands, deep cleaning is likely the last thing on your to-do list. Professional deep cleaning services save you hours or even days of hard work by tackling multiple areas of your home in one visit.
Additionally, they bring specialized tools and eco-friendly cleaning agents that amateurs don't often have access to, ensuring a quicker and more effective clean. While you may think mopping behind the fridge is enough, professionals dig deeper into what many homeowners overlook.
Every home is different. A professional deep cleaning service offers customization options to address your unique needs. If your household has pets, they'll focus on pet hair and dander. If you've recently renovated, they'll target post-construction dust that tends to coat every surface.
This flexibility ensures every corner of your home gets the attention it deserves.
Deep cleaning requires know-how, from scrubbing grout lines effectively to using the right materials for delicate surfaces like marble countertops. Hiring professional services ensures your home is handled with care and expertise. Professionals know the tricks of the trade and avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage your furnishings over time.
A professional cleaning team brings consistency to your deep cleaning routine. With regular services scheduled, you won't have to worry about remembering the last time you cleaned behind the sofa or scrubbed the air vents.
The frequency of deep cleaning depends on your living situation. For example: Households with pets: At least every three months
At least every three months Families with small children or allergies: Every two months
Every two months Typical homes: Two to three times a year
Adding deep cleaning to your routine doesn't just make life cleaner in the present; it saves you stress and expense in the long term.
Investing in deep cleaning (or hiring deep cleaning services) isn't just about appearances. It's about creating an environment that allows you to breathe easier, think clearly, and live better. Professional deep cleaning targets hidden dirt, allergens, and bacteria that regular cleaning often misses, promoting a healthier living space. Having a clean home is foundational to a calmer lifestyle and is a gift that gives back every day. And if tackling deep cleaning on your own feels overwhelming, don't hesitate to reach out to professionals who specialize in this service. Their expertise gives you the freedom to enjoy the results while saving you from the effort.

Cancer 5K run and walk at Grant Park honors survivors, raises money for research
CHICAGO — It's a club very few of us would ever want to be a part of and one by which so many are affected by in one way or another. Along the lakefront at Grant Park, a walk to celebrate cancer survivors and raise money for research was held on Sunday, which marked National Cancer Survivors Day. 'I'm a survivor, prostate cancer,' Jesus Flores said. His mom, Nancy Howarter, had been given a grim diagnosis multiple times. She is still here. 'I've survived pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer. I've been living with cancer for 40 years. My son is a prostate cancer survivor,' Howarter said. 'I'm happy to be here.' There are stories that touch nearly everyone today. WGN's Mike Lowe was among the attendees. 'Nobody wants to be here in these purple shirts,' Lowe said. 'When you walk this path together, it's so much easier than when you're walking it alone. To be with all of these great people here today, not only in the purple shirts, but the gray shirts as well. Those are family members are friends and supporters who has helped us along the path.' Through walks and runs just like Sunday's is where money is raised — money that has changed many aspects of how we fight cancer and the survival rates that come with those advances in science. 'It's very clear that the cancer mortality rates are decreasing sharply. That's due to better diagnosis, better treatments, in all different areas, but it's not good enough,' Erik Von Borcke, President of AbbVie Oncology, said. Folks attended the walk to support the Lurie Cancer Center at Northwestern Hospital and one another. In hopes of not only changing the survival rates but ending cancer. 'We understand we have new technology and bringing them all together that they are at the right time, the right place, so that the patients that have the disease, they can be treated immediately,' Von Borcke said. 'That's what we're celebrating with those walks and runs.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
