In this blog post, we'll discuss the three types of domestic cleaning: regular, one off, and end of tenancy cleaning. We'll also explain the benefits of each type of cleaning.

What are the 3 main types of house cleaning?

There are many different types of house cleaning services, but the three main types of cleaning include: regular, one-off, and end of tenancy cleaning.

Regular cleaning

A regular cleaning service is when you have a set day or days each week that you clean your house. This could be every day, every other day, or once a week. Many people choose to have a regular cleaning service to keep their homes clean and tidy. These cleans usually aren't as thorough as a one-off or end-of-tenancy clean, since they happen on a regular basis.

What to expect during a regular cleaning service:

  • Dusting of all surfaces
  • Vacuuming and mopping of floors
  • Cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens
  • Wiping down countertops and appliances

One-off cleaning

One-off cleaning is when you hire a cleaner for a specific amount of time to deep clean your home on an as-needed basis, such as before a party or after renovation work. This could be before or after a party, moving house, or spring cleaning. One-off cleans are usually more thorough than regular cleaning services.

What to expect during a one off cleaning or deep cleaning service:

  • Dusting and cleaning of all surfaces
  • Vacuuming and mopping of all floors
  • Cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, and appliances
  • Cleaning windows, sills, and frames
  • Cleaning bathrooms, including toilets, showers, tubs, and sinks

End of tenancy cleaning

An end-of-tenancy clean is when you hire a cleaner to clean your home from top to bottom before you move out. This type of clean is usually required by landlords or letting agents in order to get your deposit back. End of tenancy cleans can be very thorough, and may include cleaning things that aren't usually part of a regular cleaning service.

What to expect during an end of tenancy cleaning service:

  • Dusting and cleaning of all surfaces, including skirting boards, light fixtures, and door frames
  • Vacuuming and mopping all floors
  • Cleaning windows, sills, and frames
  • Cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, and appliances
  • Cleaning bathrooms, including toilets, showers, tubs, and sinks
  • Emptying and cleaning all bins and waste baskets
  • Cleaning of all carpets and upholstery

How to choose which cleaning type is for you

So, how to choose your first house cleaning service?

The cleaning service you decide on will depend on your needs and budget. If you need a thorough clean, then a one-off or end-of-tenancy clean may be the best option. If you're looking for a regular cleaning service to help keep your home tidy, then a regular cleaning service may be more suitable.
