Weekly clean vs deep clean
A weekly clean keeps your home tidy and hygienic — it covers the surfaces, floors and areas that get dirty fastest. A deep clean goes further, tackling buildup in places you don't reach every week: inside ovens, behind appliances, grout lines, window tracks and more.
Most Perth homes benefit from a weekly maintenance clean with a deep clean every 4–8 weeks. Below, we've marked items as Weekly or Deep so you know when to tackle each task.
