Regular cleaning keeps guests satisfied, but it’s seasonal deep cleans that truly preserve your property’s condition — and ensure glowing reviews. Whether you’re managing a busy short-let flat or a long-term home, scheduling periodic deep cleans can save you costly repairs and maintain your property’s premium appeal.
When to Schedule Deep Cleaning
Timing is everything. These are the best points in the year to carry out deep cleans:
Post-Winter: Tackle moisture build-up, dust from heating systems, and carpets that have taken a beating from muddy shoes.
Pre-Summer: Refresh everything before peak season bookings or long stays.
End of Academic Term: Especially useful for student-focused lets with high turnover.
Slow Periods: Take advantage of off-season gaps to do a full reset.
What to Include in a Deep Clean
Deep cleaning goes well beyond wiping counters and changing linens. It should cover:
Behind Appliances: Remove dust and grime from under fridges, ovens, and washing machines.
Upholstery & Soft Furnishings: Steam-clean sofas, armchairs, and curtains.
Windows & Frames: Both inside and out for natural light and curb appeal.
Carpets & Rugs: Shampooed and deodorised to remove embedded dirt.
Ventilation Systems: Clean extractor fans, air vents, and bathroom grills.
Who Should Do It
While it’s possible to task in-house teams, most landlords find better results with professional cleaners. Key things to consider:
Use Specialists: Hire teams that offer deep clean packages specific to holiday or student lets.
Supervise or Spot Check: If you’re not managing the clean yourself, inspect results or ask for before-and-after photos.
