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 Cincinnati 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 $311 for 1 bedroom up to $690 for 5 bedrooms. Priced by the home. All supplies included. No hidden fees.

A deep clean is the visit that gets a home back to a starting line. In Cincinnati the gap between a regular clean and a deep one is shaped by four local things: old houses with a lot of woodwork, water with 7 to 8 grains of hardness, a humid summer and a salty winter.

This guide walks through each of them, what the One-Time Deep Clean adds on top of a regular visit, and when an Initial Deep Clean makes sense as the first visit of a plan. Prices in the table on this page run $311.00 to $690.00 by home size.

Why Cincinnati homes collect more detail work

The city lists 45 National Register districts and 265 individually listed properties, plus 28 local historic districts. That density of older homes means a lot of surfaces a regular visit only touches lightly: tall baseboards, picture rail, paneled doors, stair spindles, deep window sills and built-in china cabinets with glass fronts.

A deep clean is where those surfaces get hand washed rather than dusted. Baseboards are washed by hand, ceiling fans and light fixtures are wiped in place, and vents and window tracks are cleared of the grit that settles in them. In an older house, that list is longer per room than in a new build, which is why a first visit here is worth doing properly.

The water: a slow chalky edge rather than a crust

Greater Cincinnati Water Works treats most of its supply from the Ohio River at the Miller plant, averaging 126 milligrams per liter of hardness, and the rest from aquifer wells at the Bolton plant, averaging 140. At roughly 7 to 8 grains per gallon, the minerals do not form thick scale quickly, but they leave a dull edge on glass shower doors, a ring at the base of faucets and spots on chrome after a few weeks.

The deep clean treats shower glass for hard water spots and details faucets around the handles and base, where that film hides. If the hard water guide describes your bathroom, a deep clean is the place to start.

Summer damp and winter dust, both in one house

July dew points near 65 degrees keep bathrooms and basements damp through the warm months, and grout lines darken faster than they do in spring. In January the dew point falls near 24, the furnace runs for weeks, and fine dust settles on blades, vents and the tops of door frames.

That swing makes a good case for a deep clean twice a year, once in late spring after the furnace goes quiet and once in fall before it starts again. The seasonal calendar shows where those visits fall around the April and October freeze dates.

What the One-Time Deep Clean adds

On top of everything a Recurring House Clean covers, the deep clean adds the detail work that builds up between visits.

What it leaves out, and what goes to the Moving Clean

Inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets belongs to the Moving Clean, which is built for empty homes. The deep clean also does not sand, scrape or strip paint. That matters here: the Cincinnati Health Department notes that anyone disturbing painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 must be lead certified, and it lends HEPA vacuums to residents cleaning up lead dust. Cleaners wipe and vacuum painted trim; they never abrade it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cincinnati Deep cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

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

A One-Time Deep Clean in Cincinnati starts at $311.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft and $690.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft on the current rate card, with $443.00 for the common 3 bed / 2 bath home. It is priced by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included.
Most homes start with a deep clean. Water at 7 to 8 grains per gallon leaves mineral edges that a regular visit is not built to lift, and older houses have more trim and built-ins. After one deep clean, a Recurring House Clean keeps the home at that level, and the first visit of a plan is priced as an Initial Deep Clean.
The deep clean wipes painted trim with damp cloths and vacuums dust; it never sands, scrapes or strips. The Cincinnati Health Department says anyone disturbing painted surfaces in homes built before 1978 must be lead certified, and the department lends HEPA vacuums for lead dust cleanup. If paint is flaking, have it assessed before the clean.
Late April or early May works well, after the median last freeze around April 18, when the furnace dust can come down and windows can stay up. Late October, near the median first freeze on October 25, is the other natural point, before the house closes up for a winter of about 100 freezing nights.
No. Inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets is part of the Moving Clean, which is meant for an empty home before a move. The deep clean covers cabinet fronts, stovetop grates, appliance exteriors and the detail work around baseboards, fixtures and glass.
It cleans the grout surface, which lifts most of the darkening caused by soap and damp. Cincinnati's July dew point near 65 degrees keeps basement bathrooms humid, so running a dehumidifier or fan afterward helps it last. Staining that has soaked deep into grout, or growth behind tile, needs a tile or moisture specialist.
The scope is the same, but the water is not. Loveland pumps from three wells in a sand and gravel aquifer rather than buying from Greater Cincinnati Water Works, so the mineral film on glass can look different. The deep clean treats shower glass and faucets either way.
