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 Chesterfield 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 cleaning keeps up with the surfaces people touch every day. A deep clean goes after the places nobody looks at until the light hits them sideways: the top edge of a baseboard, the blades of a ceiling fan, the slats of a blind, the track under a sliding door. In Chesterfield, where the median house dates to 1982 and nearly half of homes have four or more bedrooms, there are a lot of those places.

This guide explains what the One-Time Deep Clean will include when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Chesterfield, how the local climate builds up the kind of grime it is designed for, and when in the St. Louis year it makes the most sense to book one.

Why Chesterfield houses build up deep-clean grime

Square footage is the first reason. A four or five bedroom home has more baseboard, more blinds and more light fixtures than anyone can keep up with on a weekly wipe. About 63 percent of Chesterfield's housing is detached single family homes, and every staircase, extra bathroom and open kitchen in a house that size adds edges and ledges where dust settles.

The weather is the second. St. Louis averages about 47 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter, and a home that runs its air conditioning from June into September pushes a steady flow of air across vent covers and fan blades. Each one comes out of summer with a gray film. In winter, about 85 nights a year drop to freezing, the furnace takes over and the same thing happens in reverse.

The third is what blows in from outside. Ragweed, the leading cause of late summer hay fever in Missouri, blooms from July into November. Cottonwoods along creeks and river bottoms release drifts of cottony seed in May and June. Both end up on screens, window tracks and sills.

What the One-Time Deep Clean will include

Everything in a standard visit happens first: kitchens, bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming and mopping. The deep scope then adds the detail work that gives the clean its name.

Two things are deliberately outside it. The inside of the oven, the refrigerator and the cabinets belongs to the Moving Clean, which is built for empty homes. And a deep clean is a cleaning service, not a repair or restoration service: it does not cover mold or water damage, and cleaners do not move heavy furniture or take away debris.

The two best times of year to book

Late September or October. By the end of summer the air conditioning has run through dozens of 90 degree days and ragweed is at full bloom. A deep clean after the hottest weather clears fans, vents and sills before the windows close for the cold months. It is also the stretch just before Asian lady beetles and stink bugs start working their way indoors, and a home with clean sills and fixtures makes those insects easier to spot and vacuum up.

March, after the snow. St. Louis averages about 16.6 inches of snow a year, with January the snowiest month, and the median last spring freeze falls around April 2. Once salt and grit stop coming in on boots, a deep clean resets baseboards and floors along the entry paths before the spring rains take over. April, May and June are the wettest months of the year, so a reset in March gives the house a clean starting point for mud season.

Deep clean or Initial Deep Clean?

They cover the same detail work. The difference is what happens next. A One-Time Deep Clean is a single visit with no plan after it, the right choice before hosting family for Thanksgiving, before listing a house, or as a once-a-year reset. An Initial Deep Clean is the first visit of a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly Recurring House Clean plan, and it is what lets every later visit stay on the lower recurring price.

For a large Chesterfield house that has not had a professional clean in a while, the Initial Deep Clean is usually the better value, because the work it does on blinds, fans and baseboards keeps paying off on every regular visit afterward. See the recurring cleaning guide for help choosing a frequency, and the cost page for every row of the price table.

Getting a Chesterfield home ready for the visit

Clear counters and the tops of dressers so cleaners can reach the surfaces underneath. Pick up toys and clothes from the floors. If you have dogs that spend time in a wooded yard, check them for ticks before the visit, since most Missouri ticks are active from April through July and outdoor pets can bring them inside.

Let the office know about any delicate finish, such as an original hardwood floor or a natural stone counter, and about rooms you want skipped. In the fall, mention whether lady beetles have been gathering anywhere. Cleaners will vacuum them rather than sweep, which the Missouri Department of Conservation recommends because sweeping can make them release a fluid that stains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chesterfield Deep cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

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

A One-Time Deep Clean in Chesterfield 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.
No. Inside the oven, the refrigerator and the cabinets is part of the Moving Clean, which is designed for empty homes. The One-Time Deep Clean focuses on the detail work in a lived-in home: baseboards, blinds, fans, vents, light fixtures, cabinet fronts, faucets and shower glass.
St. Louis averages about 47 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, so most homes run air conditioning for months. The constant air movement carries dust onto fan blades and vent covers. Late summer ragweed adds to the load. Wiping fans and vents in place is part of every deep clean.
For many households, yes. It falls after air conditioning season and ragweed bloom, and before the coldest months, when about 85 nights a year drop to freezing and the windows stay shut. Book it a few weeks ahead so the house is ready before guests arrive.
Cottonwoods along Missouri streams and rivers shed cottony seed in May and June. The deep clean clears the window tracks and sills where it collects inside, and wipes blinds and fixtures. Exterior screens and outdoor surfaces are not part of the visit, so a quick rinse outside helps.
A four bedroom home on the fourth row of the table will pay $534.00 for a One-Time Deep Clean. With about 47 percent of Chesterfield homes at four bedrooms or more, that row covers a large share of the city. The full table above lists every size.
No. Mold and water damage need a remediation specialist, not a cleaning crew. A deep clean will clean the surfaces of a finished lower level like any other room, but it will not treat, test for or remove mold. If you suspect a moisture problem, have it inspected first.
