What Is a Deep Clean?
Most cleaners clean what you can see. Thyme cleans everything.
A deep clean is a thorough, top-to-bottom service that goes far beyond what routine maintenance cleaning reaches. Baseboards, grout lines, inside appliances, behind furniture, cabinet interiors, fixtures — every surface that accumulates buildup over weeks and months gets the full attention it's been missing.
A standard clean is upkeep, a deep clean is a reset. And once your home has had one, you'll feel the difference the moment you walk through the door.
When Does Your Home Need a Deep Clean?
🆕 First-Time Clients
If you're new to Thyme, we recommend starting with a deep clean before beginning any recurring service. It gives us a true baseline — every surface properly addressed, every corner reached — so your ongoing maintenance cleans can do their job the way they're meant to. You can't maintain what hasn't been properly cleaned first.
🔄 Existing Clients — Every 1 to 3 Months
Even the most consistent recurring clean has limits. Over time, buildup accumulates in the places routine cleaning doesn't reach. A deep clean every one to three months alongside your regular service keeps your home in genuinely excellent condition — not just surface-level clean.
🍂 Seasonal Reset
Before the holidays. After the holidays. Before a big move, a new chapter, or a major life transition. A deep clean is the reset your home deserves at the moments that matter most — and the fresh start that makes everything feel right again.
What's Included in a Thyme Deep Clean?
Every Thyme deep clean follows our signature white-glove checklist — and goes well beyond what a standard or maintenance clean covers. Here's what we tackle:
Kitchen: Inside oven, microwave, and refrigerator cleaned. Stovetop deep-cleaned. Cabinet fronts and interiors wiped down. Counters sanitized. Sink scrubbed and polished. Backsplash cleaned. Floors swept, mopped, and detailed at edges.
