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 Asheville 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.

A deep clean is a reset. It reaches the places a routine visit passes over, and in Asheville those places have their own local story. Old houses have more trim and more window hardware. Rainy months push soil across floors and up baseboards. Fall insects leave traces in tracks and on sills. TotalCare Cleaning will offer a One-Time Deep Clean here, starting at $279.00 and running $279.00 to $614.00 across the five home sizes on the rate card.

Why Asheville houses collect grime in their own way

Start with age. Census estimates put about 41 percent of the city's housing units before 1970 and about 19 percent in 1939 or earlier. Older houses tend to have more edges for dust to rest on: chair rails, door casings, tall baseboards, wood window frames. None of that is hard to clean in itself, though it adds up, and a quick weekly wipe rarely gets to all of it.

Weather comes next. Asheville Regional Airport normals show 49.59 inches of precipitation a year and about 82 days with a tenth of an inch or more. Wet soles carry soil indoors, and NC State Extension notes that well drained mountain soils usually have subsoils in red, brown and yellow shades, which can show up on a pale floor or the lower edge of a wall if a garden bed or a bare slope sits near the door.

Then there are the insects. NC State Extension says brown marmorated stink bugs became a nuisance in buildings throughout the North Carolina mountains by 2012 and move indoors in mid September and October. Multicolored Asian lady beetles gather on sunny sides of houses and porches in fall. Camel crickets get into crawlspaces, basements, garages and damp rooms such as bathrooms and laundry rooms, where they leave dark smears. All of that leaves a trail that a deep clean can wipe away, though it does nothing to keep the insects out.

What the One-Time Deep Clean adds

The visit covers everything in a routine clean and then goes further. Here is what the extra work includes, and why each item tends to matter in these homes.

Soap film matters more than scale on city water

The City of Asheville's 2025 water data lists an average hardness of 5.52 parts per million and an average pH of 7.61. That is very soft water, so the thick white crust familiar in many other cities is less of an issue on a city line. What you may see instead is a dull layer on shower doors and tile, built from soap, shampoo and body oils. Soft water lathers easily, so people tend to use more product than they need, and the excess can linger.

Homes in Weaverville, on the Ivy River supply, or on a private well may behave differently. A cleaner should look at the glass and the faucets and choose an approach based on what is really there rather than assuming a type of residue from the address.

When a deep clean is the right choice, and what it leaves out

A deep clean suits a home that has gone a long while without professional care, a home being readied for family or guests, and a home about to start a Recurring House Clean plan, where the first visit is called an Initial Deep Clean. It also suits an owner who has just finished a repair and wants the fine dust gone once the contractors have left, though construction waste stays with the contractor.

Inside the oven, the refrigerator and the cabinets are not part of a deep clean. Those belong to the Moving Clean, which is the right call for an empty home. Interior windows are an add-on. A house cleaning also is not mold or water damage remediation, so a home with active moisture damage should see a qualified specialist before any cleaner arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Asheville Deep cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

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

A One-Time Deep Clean in Asheville 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.
A recurring visit keeps up with kitchens, baths, floors and dusting. A deep clean adds baseboards, blinds, window tracks, fans and vents, which is a lot of ground in a house with original trim. About 19 percent of Asheville's housing dates to 1939 or earlier, so that detail work can be the main event.
It will wipe sills, window tracks and blinds, where those insects often leave droppings and stains. NC State Extension notes squashed lady beetles can mark fabric and painted surfaces, so some older stains may stay. A deep clean removes what can be wiped away; it is not pest control.
Hand washing should lift most tracked-in soil from painted baseboards, particularly if the marks are recent. Well drained mountain soils usually have red, brown and yellow subsoils, according to NC State Extension, and pigment can settle into worn paint. A mat on both sides of the door helps a lot afterward.
Yes, though the focus shifts. At 5.52 parts per million, city water leaves little scale, so glass and faucet work is often more about soap and body oils than minerals. The rest of the list, such as baseboards, blinds, tracks and grates, has nothing to do with water at all.
Dark smears on a laundry room or bathroom wall can usually be wiped away, and floors and baseboards are part of the visit. NC State Extension says camel crickets favor damp rooms, crawlspaces and basements. A cleaning will not stop them from returning, so check for moisture and gaps as well.
No. Inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets belongs to the Moving Clean, which is built for empty homes. If you want those areas done in a home you are not leaving, ask about what is available before confirming, and clear out food and dishes so the work can happen.
