"Kitchen deep clean" is a phrase that gets used loosely — some companies mean a quick wipe-down with a fancier name, others mean a genuine top-to-bottom job. Here's exactly what our process covers, step by step, so you know precisely what's included before you book.

1. Initial assessment. We look at the kitchen's condition first — grease buildup level, appliance state, any specific problem areas — before starting, so the crew knows what they're dealing with.
2. Clear and prep surfaces. Countertops and stovetop cleared of loose items so every surface is fully accessible.
3. Extractor hood and filter treatment. This is usually the single greasiest area in any kitchen — treated with degreaser strong enough to cut through baked-on residue.
4. Stovetop degreasing. Grates, burner heads, and the surface around them — an area that builds up fast and is often only surface-wiped in regular cleaning.
5. Backsplash and wall tiles. Grease doesn't stay on the stovetop — it travels onto nearby walls and tile grout, which gets treated as part of the same pass.
6. Appliance exteriors. Fridge, oven, microwave — all cleaned and degreased on the outside as standard.
7. Cabinet exteriors. Fronts and handles, where grease and hand residue accumulate over weeks without always being visible.
8. Counters and sink. Full sanitisation, not just a surface wipe — this includes descaling around the sink where hard water leaves buildup.
9. Light switches and handles. High-touch points that rarely get proper attention in day-to-day cleaning.
10. Floor. Cleaned last, once everything above it is done — no point mopping before the rest of the mess has been dealt with.
11. Final wipe-down and inspection. A pass to catch anything missed before we consider the job complete.
12. Extras, if requested. Inside cupboards, inside the oven, inside the fridge, or the store/pantry — these aren't part of the base process but can be added if you mention them when booking.

Why the Order Matters

This isn't an arbitrary sequence — cleaning top-down and grease-first means nothing gets re-dirtied by a step that comes after it. A kitchen cleaned floor-first, then degreased, ends up with grease residue back on the floor by the time the job's done. The order is part of what makes a deep clean actually thorough rather than just a checklist ticked in a random sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the full 12-step process take?
Depends on kitchen size and buildup level — we give an accurate time estimate once we've assessed the space, not before.

Do you clean inside the oven as standard?
No — that's an extra. Mention it when booking and we'll include it in your quote.

Is the process different for a lightly-used vs. heavily-used kitchen?
The steps stay the same, but a heavily-used kitchen with more grease buildup takes longer at each step, particularly the extractor hood and stovetop.
