What a One-Time Deep Clean will do for Birmingham houses, from 1960s trim and fans to humid bathrooms and pollen-coated sills, and when it is worth booking one.
The TotalCare Cleaning standard
The One-Time Deep Clean addresses every surface a standard maintenance clean cannot reach. Every Birmingham 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.

Join the Opening List →A deep clean is the visit that reaches the parts of a home a weekly wipe-down skips: the top of the door casing, the blade edges of a ceiling fan, the grime line along the baseboard. In Birmingham those spots fill faster than in many cities, because the housing is old, the air is wet for half the year and pollen arrives early.
This guide explains what the One-Time Deep Clean from TotalCare Cleaning will include, which Birmingham homes benefit most and how to time one around the local year.
Age is the first reason. The median home in the city was built in 1965, and close to one in five predates 1940. Decades of paint on trim and doors leave ridges and corners where dust settles into a film, and older wood floors have gaps along the walls that a quick pass with a vacuum leaves alone.
Climate is the second. Normal July dew points near 70 degrees mean kitchen grease and bathroom moisture settle onto surfaces instead of drying off. With about 56 inches of rain a year, fine grit from wet yards works into the edges of floors and the tracks of windows and sliding doors.
Pollen is the third. Southern trees can start releasing pollen in December or January, ahead of the national February to April peak, and that dust coats blinds, fan blades and sills through the late winter and spring.
Everything in a standard clean, plus detail work by hand. The list below is the full deep scope; anything not on it, such as the inside of appliances, is not included and belongs to a different service.
Ceiling fans and vents. With 65 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter, fans run for months and pull dust onto the leading edge of every blade. Air vents in older houses collect the same gray fuzz. Both get wiped in place.
Baseboards and trim. In a home that has been repainted many times, baseboards have a lip along the top that holds grime. Hand washing lifts it without scrubbing the paint. For houses built before 1978, cleaners will never sand or scrape any painted surface, because the EPA warns that lead dust can be stirred back into the air.
Shower glass and faucets. Birmingham Water Works reported hardness between 52 and 148 milligrams per liter in 2022, which the U.S. Geological Survey scale places from soft to hard. Where it runs harder, glass doors and faucet bases carry white spotting that a deep clean treats and details.
Window tracks and sills. Spring pollen and summer storms push grit into the tracks of windows and sliding doors. Clearing them out is slow work, and it is part of the deep scope.
Late spring is a natural point. Once the heavy tree pollen has passed, one deep clean clears the film from blinds, fans and sills before the humid months set in. Early fall works well too: October is the driest month of the normal year, so less mud follows people inside while the house is being detailed.
A deep clean also makes sense before a recurring plan starts. If you book a Recurring House Clean, the first visit is an Initial Deep Clean with the same detail work, so there is no need to book both.
A One-Time Deep Clean runs $279.00 to $614.00 across the five home sizes, from $279.00 for one bedroom and one bath to $614.00 for five bedrooms and four baths. A three bedroom, two bath house is $395.00.
The inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets is part of the Moving Clean, because those spaces are easiest to reach when a home is empty. A deep clean also does not treat mold growth, repair water damage or move heavy furniture. If a closet or crawlspace has a moisture problem, the county health department advises fixing leaks and controlling humidity first.
