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 Indianapolis 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 regular visit keeps a clean home clean. A deep clean is for the buildup that a regular visit is not designed to remove, and in central Indiana that buildup has a recognizable local signature. Mineral crust from very hard water, a gray film of road salt along entries, and dust lodged in old window trim or new air vents are the usual reasons a home here needs one.

This guide explains what the One-Time Deep Clean will cover when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Indianapolis, which local homes benefit most, and when in the year it makes the most sense to book.

The buildup Indianapolis homes collect

Start with the tap. Citizens Water reports an average hardness of about 317 parts per million, roughly 19 grains per gallon, across its Indianapolis system, with a range up to 27 grains. Westfield's system averages even higher, about 22 grains. Water that hard leaves calcium and magnesium on everything it touches and then evaporates from: shower glass, faucet bases, showerheads, sink drains and the waterline in toilets. After a few months without detailed attention, that film turns to crust.

Then the weather. Indianapolis averages about 105 nights a year below freezing and about 27 days with an inch or more of snow on the ground. Salt and sand ride in on boots all winter and settle along baseboards, door thresholds and the first stretch of hallway floor. By March, when thaw water joins the salt, entry areas carry a dull film that a vacuum and a quick mop do not lift.

What the One-Time Deep Clean adds

Everything in a regular visit is included, kitchens, bathrooms, dusting, floors and trash, and the deep scope then goes after the detail work. Those additions line up closely with what Indianapolis homes accumulate:

Old trim in the city, new dust in the suburbs

About 15 percent of Indianapolis housing was built in 1939 or earlier, and about 46 percent before 1970. Those homes have deep window sills, tall baseboards, picture rail, five-panel doors and radiators, all of which hold dust in ways a modern drywall house does not. A deep clean spends its extra effort on exactly those surfaces.

Older homes also call for care with paint. The Hamilton County Health Department notes that many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint and that settled lead dust can get back into the air with sweeping or vacuuming. In these houses the approach is damp wiping, filtered vacuuming and never sanding, scraping or chipping paint.

The suburbs bring the opposite problem. About half of Westfield's homes were built in 2010 or later and about 55 percent of Fishers homes in 2000 or later. Newer houses collect fine drywall and construction dust in vents, blinds, window tracks and on top of tall trim for a long time after the build. A deep clean is a good way to clear that dust once the moving boxes are gone.

When to book one in central Indiana

The calendar here gives two natural moments. The first is the end of salt season. March still averages a few inches of snow, so a deep clean in April catches the residue of the whole winter at once. The second is before the holidays, when furnaces have been running for weeks and homes fill with guests.

June is the wettest month at the airport, with about 4.95 inches of precipitation on average, and May is close behind. Muddy spring yards are one more reason to hold a spring deep clean until the worst of the wet weeks have passed.

Outside those windows, a deep clean also makes sense before a home goes on the market, after a long stretch without professional cleaning, and as the first visit of a recurring plan. On a plan, that first visit is called an Initial Deep Clean.

What a deep clean is not

The One-Time Deep Clean is thorough, but it has edges. The inside of the oven, the refrigerator and the cabinets belong to the Moving Clean, which is designed for an empty home. A deep clean does not include appliance coils, mold or water damage work, or hauling furniture or debris. If a basement took on water in a June storm, a restoration company is the right first call, and a clean can follow once the space is dry.

For a home at a lease end or a sale, the move-out cleaning guide explains the Moving Clean. For homes that simply want to stay clean after the reset, the recurring cleaning guide covers plan options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Indianapolis Deep cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

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

A One-Time Deep Clean in Indianapolis 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.
It will treat the shower glass for hard water spots and detail the faucets and fixtures, which clears most visible film. Citizens Water averages about 19 grains per gallon in Indianapolis, so the film comes back with daily use. A squeegee after showers and regular visits keep it from returning to crust.
It is designed to be gentle there. The Hamilton County Health Department notes that many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint and that settled dust can be stirred up by sweeping. Cleaners wipe damp, use filtered vacuums and never sand, scrape or chip paint.
The One-Time Deep Clean runs $311.00 to $690.00 across the five size rows, from $311.00 for a one bedroom to $690.00 for the largest homes. About 54 percent of Indianapolis homes have three or more bedrooms, and a three bedroom is $443.00.
Often it does, just for different reasons than an older house. About half of Westfield homes were built in 2010 or later, and fine construction dust keeps surfacing from vents, blinds and window tracks long after the build. Westfield water also averages about 22 grains of hardness, so fixtures scale quickly.
No. Inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets is part of the Moving Clean, which is built for empty homes at a move. The deep clean does degrease cabinet fronts and soak stovetop grates, which covers most of the kitchen grime a lived-in home collects.
April is a strong choice, after a winter that averages about 25 inches of snow and plenty of road salt, and after March thaw has done its worst to the entries. Late fall, before holiday guests arrive, is the other popular window.
