Deep House Cleaning in Richmond, VA
A deep clean covers everything in a standard clean and adds the detail work that doesn't need attention every visit: baseboards, door frames, inside windows, tile and grout, vents and hard-to-reach spots. It's the reset a home needs a few times a year, or before starting a recurring plan.
The quoted price is an estimate based on your home's size and details. If a home needs more time than expected, extra time is billed at $125/hour, prorated.
When to choose Deep Home Cleaning
First-time clients, homes that haven't had a professional clean in a couple of months, seasonal refreshes, and getting a home guest-ready before an event or the holidays.

“Gabriel fit me in the same week so I could move in on time. Yorleny and her partner cleaned my whole townhouse in under three hours and left it spotless and move-in ready. I have honestly never been so impressed with a cleaning service.”
“Vanessa and Valeska were so professional and thorough, and Gabriel was very helpful with booking. I got the deep clean and the result was even better than I could have hoped. So worth it, and I will definitely hire Brio again.”
“I've used Brio for bi-weekly cleanings and the occasional deep clean since January and I've never been happier with a cleaning service. They're prompt, consistent, and easy to work with the couple of times I've had to reschedule around travel.”
“I reached out at 8pm the night before my move-out and Gabe fit me in the next day. The team did such a thorough job, even cleaning out the oven and the fan on my super high ceiling. So grateful they scheduled me last minute.”
“Small 950 sq ft apartment turnover, but two people came and spent three hours. They cleaned that unit better than it has ever been cleaned in its history. Excellent service at a very reasonable price.”
“The Brio team was thorough and efficient and took care to clean every nook and cranny. It feels cleaner than when we first moved in. Gabriel also reached out personally to make sure the work was done to our standards.”
“This is the fourth cleaning we've booked with Brio and they've delivered excellence every time. I scheduled a deep clean before the holidays and they exceeded expectations with a nonstop work ethic and excellent attention to detail.”
“The Brio team did a great job for a reasonable price. My home has not looked this clean since the day we moved in. Polite and hardworking crew members.”
“Incredibly pleased with my move-out clean. They were friendly, thorough, very reasonably priced, and left the place spotless, even getting rid of a few super stubborn surface stains I had tried everything on.”
FAQ
Deep Home Cleaning: common questions
What's the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?
A standard clean is maintenance for an already-tidy home. A deep clean does all of that plus the detail work: baseboards, tile and grout, inside windows, vents, and door frames. We recommend a deep clean first if it has been a while, then standard cleans to keep it up.
How long does a deep clean take?
Usually 3 to 4 hours with a two-person team, longer for larger homes or ones that need extra attention. You'll get a time estimate with your quote.
Do I need a deep clean before starting recurring service?
If it has been more than a month or two since your last professional clean, yes. It lets the team get everything to a baseline so future standard visits stay quick and thorough.
Does a deep clean include inside the oven and refrigerator?
Those are part of our move-in/out service rather than a standard deep clean. A deep clean focuses on baseboards, grout, windows, vents and detail dusting throughout the home.
Is a deep clean a flat price or an estimate?
The price shown when you book is an estimate based on your home's size and the information provided. Deep cleans can take longer than expected, especially if the home hasn't been cleaned in a while. If extra time is needed, we tell you before continuing and it's billed at our standard hourly rate of $125/hour, prorated. Recurring standard cleans, by contrast, are a true flat rate.
