What you get
What a deep clean covers
A deep clean is not a longer regular clean, it is a different list. On top of everything a regular clean does, it covers:
- Oven, racks and trays
- Inside the fridge and freezer
- Interior windows, sills and tracks
- Inside cupboards and drawers
- Carpet cleaning
- Wall wash and skirting boards
- Rangehood, splashback and behind appliances
- Grout, shower glass and extractor fans
Cleaners set their own scope, so check the profile before you get in touch - what is listed here is what the clean covers on Match Maid, not a promise about any one cleaner.

Deep cleaning - your questions
What is the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?
A regular clean maintains a home: kitchen, bathrooms, floors, surfaces, beds. A deep clean adds the things that only need doing occasionally - the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, inside cupboards, carpet and a wall wash. It is a different job, not a longer version of the same one.
How much does a deep clean cost?
Cleaners on Match Maid advertise $29 to $80 an hour for a deep clean, with most between $50 and $65. At around $55 an hour a three-bedroom house works out to roughly $275 to $385. Every rate is shown on the profile before you make contact.
How long does a deep clean take?
Two to three times as long as a regular clean of the same home. A one-bedroom flat is usually three to four hours, a three-bedroom house five to seven. If the house has not had one in a while, expect the upper end.
How often should I get a deep clean?
Once or twice a year suits most homes, often at the start of spring. Households with a regular fortnightly cleaner tend to need one less often, because the surfaces that take the longest never get the chance to build up.
Should I get a deep clean before starting a regular cleaner?
It is usually worth it. Starting a fortnightly arrangement on a house that has been reset takes fewer hours per visit from then on, so the deep clean pays some of itself back. Plenty of cleaners on Match Maid offer both and will do it that way.
Does a deep clean include the windows and the carpet?
Interior windows, sills and tracks, yes. Carpet cleaning is on the list too, but confirm with your cleaner whether that means a thorough vacuum or a machine clean - they are different jobs and not every cleaner carries a machine.
