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 Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne house spends a long stretch of the year sealed tight. With about 124 nights below freezing and about 40 days when the high stays below freezing, the furnace runs for months while grease, dust and winter grit have nowhere to go. A deep clean is what catches up on all of that.

Here is what a One-Time Deep Clean from TotalCare Cleaning will include, why it suits so many Fort Wayne homes, and where its limits lie.

How a Fort Wayne home collects what it collects

Age. About 64 percent of housing units were built before 1980, and about 15 percent in 1939 or earlier. Older homes have more woodwork, deeper sills, more radiators or old vents, and small rooms with a lot of edges. Every one of those is a ledge for dust.

Dry winter air. January's average dew point is about 20 degrees. Heated air gets very dry indoors, and dust floats around and clings to screens, blinds and fan blades.

Thaw and rain. March averages 38.6 degrees and still sees 4.6 inches of snow, then April brings 3.74 inches of precipitation, and May is the wettest month at 4.58 inches. Fine silt comes in on boots and paws and dries along baseboards and in floor seams.

What the visit includes

Everything from a regular visit is included, plus the detail work on this list. Prices run $279.00 to $614.00 across the five home sizes, starting at $279.00.

Which Fort Wayne homes usually benefit

Historic and period homes. The West Central Historic District has homes representing every architectural style built between 1840 and 1960, while Southwood Park has Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival houses from about 1929 to 1940. Trim and woodwork in these neighborhoods can be lovely, and full of dust. They need gentle products and a careful hand.

Postwar houses. Places like the Indian Village district include small homes built for returning World War II veterans. A compact house can feel clean on the surface and still have decades of residue in vents and tracks.

A house you have just bought. Fort Wayne is growing, and plenty of people are taking on houses with years of someone else's cooking in the range hood. A deep clean gives a clean starting point, although if the home is empty the Moving Clean is usually better, since it adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.

A word on water and fixtures

Fort Wayne City Utilities softens its water with lime, and it reported average hardness of 130 milligrams per liter in 2025, about 7.6 grains per gallon. The utility calls that moderately soft, and it still notes that minerals can leave spots on dishes and limescale on fixtures. Treating shower glass and detailing faucets is usually a quick job here, compared with cities on untreated hard water.

If you are on a well in one of the outlying towns, such as Huntertown or Auburn, your water may behave differently from the city's, so point out any stubborn staining to your cleaner.

What this clean does not cover

Paint from before 1978 gets wiped gently and is never sanded or scraped. Flaking paint should be dealt with by a qualified professional, since the Allen County Department of Health warns that the resulting dust is easily swallowed or inhaled.

The inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets belongs to the Moving Clean. Interior windows are an add-on. Cleaners do not remediate mold or repair water damage, and they do not haul furniture or debris. If you find mold in a rental, Fort Wayne renters can call 311 about problems from unaddressed structural or plumbing issues.

Household hazardous products from the basement shelf can go to the county's facility at 2260 Carroll Road on Tuesdays, packed in a box or tote rather than a garbage bag. Clearing them out beforehand makes the visit easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Wayne Deep cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

Everything Fort Wayne homeowners ask about a One-Time Deep Clean.

A One-Time Deep Clean in Fort Wayne 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.
Late spring suits many homes. The median last freeze falls around April 24, and by then the furnace season's dust and winter's grit have had their full effect. A second good moment is before holiday cooking, ahead of the snowiest months, though once a year is plenty for most households.
It handles normal residue on hard floors and baseboards, and that often makes a visible difference. Fort Wayne averages about 38 days with an inch or more of snow on the ground, so salt has plenty of time to settle in. Very old staining or etching in stone may need a floor specialist.
Sound paint gets wiped gently, and cleaners do not sand, scrape or dry sweep it. The Allen County Department of Health says peeling and cracking paint in pre-1978 homes creates dust, so point out any flaking spots before the visit and have those dealt with by a qualified professional.
It can be, particularly after a move or a busy year. About 83 percent of Huntertown homes date from 2000 or later. They have fewer old-house issues, but big kitchens and glass showers still collect film, and tracks, fans and vents in any home gather dust.
No. The inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets is part of the Moving Clean. A deep clean does include degreasing cabinet fronts, soaking stovetop grates and detailing faucets, so the kitchen still gets a thorough going over.
