Home shower areas are one of the most neglected areas in the majority of homes I have worked in. I totally get it, because many shower areas are just a pain in the _____ to get and keep clean with the limited time frame they expect it to take.
On walk thru’s for shower deep cleans, many people tell me that cleaning their shower / bath area is usually just spraying water on the walls and glass / curtains most of the time and only really cleaning when it starts to look bad.
My shower deep cleans take between 2 – 6 hours to do depending on size and how dirty / stained they are. Not many people have 30 minutes to give their shower & bath a decent cleaning, let alone a few hours.
So, what does a shower deep clean look like?
- Glass is deep cleaned to remove water stains and polished with glass cleaner.
- Shower fixtures get scrubbed in every nook and cranny. Walls are scrubbed, rinsed and dried.
- Tile and grout is deep cleaned and sealed
- Countertops, faucets, backsplashes, etc. are lightly scrubbed, rinsed and dried.
- Bathtubs get a full scrub down, rinse and buff dry
- Toilets (and misc toilet accessories) get scrubbed, wiped dry and treated with a top notch enzyme deodorizer that kills any microscopic urine bacteria, germs, smells, etc. This includes the toilet base and the wall behind the toilet.
- Medicine cabinets can be emptied and cleaned / polished. Same goes for cabinets and drawers under sink areas… I can pull everything out one drawer or cabinet at a time, vacuum inside, wipe clean, dry, and put stuff back inside.
- Most floors can be deep cleaned by machine, except polished marble. That does cost more, as those floors are deep cleaned by hand since polished marble is rather sensitive.
- Window sills, trackwork, windows, outside of ceiling fans / heat lamps, and all the other areas you have can likewise be included if that’s your preference.
Every bathroom and shower area is different
I don’t have set prices like many services do… the reason being is that all bathrooms are different to some degree. A shower area with marble and brushed nickel fixtures take considerably longer to clean as I can’t use my usual acidic cleaners to remove limescale, hardwater stains or rust traces.
On the flipside, a shower area that has ceramic tile and chrome fixtures that is gunked up with oily residue from bodywash or a bunch of soap scum from bar soaps or just plain nastiness from lack of regular cleaning… those are actually easier to clean versus a fancy marble shower.
The cleaning companies that offer a set cheap rate are doing cleans that are better then a general, but are not true deep cleans. They do the same process at every job.
My deep cleaning is much more detailed and customized specifically to what’s important to you. There’s more I’d like to put here, but I don’t want to type out a book. 🙂
Enjoy your day!
