The TotalCare Cleaning standard

What the One-Time Deep Clean
Actually Covers

The One-Time Deep Clean addresses every surface a standard maintenance clean cannot reach. Every Albuquerque home accumulates buildup at the grout, baseboard, and appliance level that requires a systematic deep protocol, not just more time spent.

The TotalCare Cleaning standard is a detailed room-by-room checklist. Every item has a defined method, an approved cleaning product, and a measurable pass/fail criterion. The checklist is audited on every job before the visit is considered complete.

Pricing starts at $279 for 1 bedroom up to $614 for 5 bedrooms. Priced by the home. All supplies included. No hidden fees.

The word deep can sound dramatic, but this service is simple. It is one thorough visit that reaches the fans, tracks, blinds and baseboards a routine clean leaves alone.

In Albuquerque, the reason to book one is usually accumulated dust and mineral film, rather than damp. The price table is above, and the notes below explain who benefits most.

What accumulates in a high desert home

With 8.84 inches of normal precipitation a year and months in spring with under half an inch, dust stays in the air and settles everywhere. It collects on the tops of ceiling fan blades, in window tracks and along baseboards, often where nobody looks. A desert home can seem tidy while hiding a lot of fine grit.

Water leaves its own mark. The Water Authority says its blend ranges from moderately hard to hard, and that when water evaporates, it leaves behind the dissolved minerals. Those are the same minerals that collect on evaporative coolers in summer. Indoors, they show up on shower glass and faucets.

Age plays a part as well. About 47 percent of housing units in Albuquerque were built before 1980 and about 28 percent before 1970. Older trim and tile have more edges for dust and mineral film to cling to, and they benefit most from hand work.

What a deep clean adds

You get everything a regular visit does, along with the following list. Most of these items are ones where dust tends to settle in a dry climate.

What is not part of the visit

The inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets belongs to a One-Time Moving Clean. If you are moving out, the move-out guide is the better fit. Interior windows are an add-on.

TotalCare Cleaning does not remediate mold or water damage, and it does not remove furniture, debris or construction waste. If a monsoon storm has flooded a room or hail damaged a roof, have repairs finished first. The National Weather Service notes that hail with flash flooding is a threat from June through September.

Rodent droppings need their own step. The New Mexico Department of Health says hantavirus spreads through infected rodents' urine, droppings or saliva. Follow its cleanup steps before a routine visit, and tell the company if a garage, shed or closet has signs of rodents. Older homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, so have a contractor handle any flaking areas too.

Good moments for a deep clean in Albuquerque

After spring winds and dry months. The driest stretch runs from January through May, with each month under about half an inch of precipitation. A deep clean near the end of it clears a lot of settled dust, before the monsoon typically begins in mid June.

After the monsoon. Late September is when the monsoon typically ends. Mud at entries, dusty tracks and a summer's worth of mineral film can all be dealt with at once.

Before Balloon Fiesta guests. The first week of October brings a great many visitors to the city, and many households host family then.

When you buy a home. A deep clean before unpacking gives you a clean baseline, which helps with an older home especially. Starting a Recurring House Clean includes an Initial Deep Clean, so you do not need to order one separately.

Price by home size

The One-Time Deep Clean runs $279.00 to $614.00 across five sizes, priced by the home, not by the hour. A one bedroom starts at $279.00, a three bedroom at $395.00 and a five bedroom at $614.00. Full comparisons are on the cost page, including local home examples that show where different homes fall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Albuquerque Deep cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

Everything Albuquerque homeowners ask about a One-Time Deep Clean.

A One-Time Deep Clean in Albuquerque starts at $279.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft and $614.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft on the current rate card, with $395.00 for the common 3 bed / 2 bath home. It is priced by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included.
Homes on a regular plan rarely need more than the first one. For a home without a plan, once a year works for many people, often around the end of the dry spring or after the monsoon ends in late September.
It treats shower glass for hard water spots and details faucets, which handles most film. The Water Authority says its blend is moderately hard to hard, so it comes back over time. Glass already etched by minerals may improve without looking new.
It removes what has settled on fans, blinds, vents and baseboards. Albuquerque has counted airborne pollen daily for years and adopted a Pollen Control Ordinance in 1994. Allergy sufferers often like a deep clean at the end of a heavy pollen stretch, though it cannot change what is in the outdoor air.
Please tell the company first. The New Mexico Department of Health lists prevention steps for hantavirus, including airing out buildings and cleaning up droppings and nests. Those steps should come before a regular visit, and an exterminator may be useful.
Sometimes. About 51 percent of Rio Rancho's housing dates from 2000 or later, so a home there has less aged trim, though desert dust still reaches fans and tracks. The first visit of a plan handles that baseline, so a separate deep clean is not always needed.
