Deep cleaning vs maintenance clean

Living in downtown Chicago—whether it’s a sleek loft in River North, a high-rise in Streeterville, or a luxury condo in the Gold Coast—comes with perks: skyline views, prime location, and modern finishes. But with great space comes one big question:

Do you need a deep clean or weekly maid service to keep it all spotless?

Let’s break it down so you can decide what fits your lifestyle, space, and standards.


What Is Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning goes beyond surface sparkle. It’s a detailed, top-to-bottom scrub that targets the hidden grime and buildup you don’t see every day.

What it includes:

  • Inside oven, fridge, and cabinets
  • Baseboards, vents, and behind furniture
  • Tile and grout detail
  • Heavy dusting (ceiling fans, corners, light fixtures)

It’s the kind of clean that makes your space feel brand new.

Best For:

  • Moving in or out of your apartment
  • Post-renovation clean-up
  • Seasonal resets (spring/fall)
  • Haven’t cleaned in a while and need a fresh start

What Is Weekly Maid Service?

This is your routine clean. Weekly (or even bi-weekly) maid service is designed to maintain your space, keeping it fresh, tidy, and guest-ready at all times.

What it includes:

  • Kitchen and bathroom cleaning
  • Vacuuming and mopping floors
  • Dusting open surfaces and furniture
  • Bed-making, trash removal, light tidying

Perfect if you’re a busy professional, parent, or anyone who simply doesn’t want to clean after a long day.

Best For:

  • Working professionals in high-rise apartments
  • People who love order and can’t stand clutter
  • Downtown dwellers hosting guests regularly
  • Residents who already had a deep clean recently
