Deep Cleaning Services
The reset a house needs after a Flagstaff winter -- entries, floors, tracks, vents and grout, not just the middle of the room.
Sometimes a house needs more than maintenance. Kiwi Deep Cleaning is a one-time, top-to-bottom service for homes that need the baseline moved rather than held: inside ovens and refrigerators, behind and under furniture, grout scrubbed rather than mopped over, ceiling fan blades, light fixtures, cabinet interiors, baseboards, and every window track and vent cover in the house.
In Flagstaff the deep clean has an obvious season. Five months of salt, cinders, snowmelt and boot grit, plus a winter of wood-stove and fireplace ash, leave residue that a normal visit holds at bay but never truly removes -- in the grain of hard floors, along baseboards, in the grout of entry tile, in the tracks of every door that got opened in a storm. Then the thaw adds mud. A deep clean at the end of that run is the single highest-value cleaning most houses here buy all year.
The rest of the year has its own version. This is dry, bright, high-altitude country between storms, and dust settles fast onto sills, tracks, blinds, vent covers and the tops of things. Late summer brings the monsoon, which drives dust and wet in through open doors. So the other common deep clean here is the one booked before family arrives, or as the starting point before switching to recurring service, because getting a house to a real baseline makes every visit after it faster and better.
Deep Cleaning vs. Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning keeps a house from sliding backwards: surfaces wiped, floors vacuumed and mopped, bathrooms and kitchen kept sanitary. It is maintenance, and it is scoped accordingly.
Deep cleaning moves the baseline. We pull the stove out and clean the wall behind it. We take the covers off vents rather than dusting around them. We scrub grout instead of mopping over it -- and in this town the grout that matters most is in the entry, where five months of salt and cinders have been ground into it. We break blinds down slat by slat and clear window tracks with a brush rather than a cloth. It takes several times longer than a maintenance visit, which is exactly why it is not something you need every month.
The Post-Winter Reset
If you only book one deep clean a year in Flagstaff, book it when the snow finishes.
By April a house at 6,800 feet has absorbed roughly 90 inches of snow, one boot at a time. Salt and cinder residue is in the entry grout and along the baseboards. Snowmelt has worked under door thresholds and into the seams of hard floors. Wood-stove and fireplace ash has settled on hearths, mantels, nearby shelving and the floor around them, and some of it has migrated further than anyone wants to think about. Mud season adds a last layer on top. None of that is what a biweekly visit is scoped for, and all of it responds to a proper reset.
We work top to bottom through each room so nothing already cleaned gets dusted onto twice, and we finish where this climate does its damage: entries, mudrooms, thresholds, hard-floor seams, hearth surfaces and the tracks of every exterior door.
- Entry and mudroom grout scrubbed rather than mopped
- Hard-floor seams and thresholds cleared of salt and cinder residue
- Baseboards and door casings wiped along the winter route
- Hearths, mantels and surrounding surfaces cleared of ash
- Exterior door tracks brushed out
- Vent and register covers removed and cleaned
What a Deep Clean Does Not Cover
Being straight about the edges of the job saves everyone a disappointing afternoon, and in this market the edges come up often.
We clean interior glass thoroughly and vacuum carpets as part of every deep clean. We are not a window-washing company, a carpet-extraction company, a chimney sweep, a gutter service or an air-duct cleaner, and Flagstaff has specialists in every one of those. If your carpet needs hot-water extraction, your exterior glass needs a proper wash, or your flue needs sweeping before you light the stove again, we will say so and let you hire the right trade rather than sell you a partial answer and hope you do not notice.
What we will do is tell you clearly, before we start, which parts of your list are cleaning and which parts are not.
