What is a deep clean?
A deep clean is a detailed, top-to-bottom clean that reaches areas a regular clean skips: inside the oven and microwave, grout and shower screens, skirting boards, door frames, light switches, window tracks and behind movable furniture. Niks Elite Cleaning provides deep cleaning across Melbourne, mainly in the western suburbs.
- For move-ins, spring cleans and homes that need a reset
- Takes longer than a regular clean
- Often followed by fortnightly maintenance cleans
When a Regular Clean Is Not Enough
Grease, soap scum, dust and grime build up in places a weekly clean doesn't reach. A deep clean deals with that build-up so the home is back to a standard that regular cleaning can maintain.
Common reasons to book one are moving into a new home, preparing a house for sale or inspection, after an illness, after a renovation, or a once- or twice-a-year spring clean.
We confirm the scope before we start, including which appliances and rooms are included, so the time and price match the work.

Our Cleaning Guarantee
We guarantee your satisfaction. If you're not happy with our cleaning, contact us within 72 hours and we'll re-clean the area at no extra cost. For end of lease cleans, our bond-back guarantee covers re-cleaning if your agent identifies cleaning issues — subject to normal wear and tear.
Some marks, such as permanent stains, etching or damaged surfaces, cannot be removed by cleaning. We will tell you before the clean if something is unlikely to come out.
Deep cleaning vs regular cleaning
A regular house clean maintains surfaces you use every day. A deep clean reaches the build-up underneath: inside appliances, grout lines, tracks, frames and behind furniture. After a deep clean, regular visits take less time because there is no backlog to deal with.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a deep clean take?
Usually several hours longer than a regular clean of the same home. The exact time depends on size, condition and which appliances are included; we estimate it when we quote.
How often should I get a deep clean?
Most homes need one or two a year if they are cleaned regularly in between. Homes without regular cleaning may need one more often.
Is a deep clean the same as an end of lease clean?
They are similar, but an end of lease clean is done in an empty property and follows the rental inspection checklist. A deep clean is done in a lived-in home. See our end of lease cleaning page if you are moving out.
Can you deep clean a home before we move in?
Yes. A move-in deep clean is easiest before furniture arrives, when cupboards, floors and wardrobes are empty.
How much does a deep clean cost?
It depends on the home size, condition and included appliances. Contact us with your details and photos for an accurate quote.
