To ask how long your deep clean takes ?

[Imperialleathers]

I have a small 2 bedroom flat and I deep clean probably about once a month, if that. It takes me about 4 hours. How big is your house and how long does a deep clean take ??

It depends on what you call a deep clean in the kitchen. Without doing inside cupboards I can deep clean my downstairs rooms and stairs, not including my larder in a day (9am-6pm). So probably two and a half days for the whole house.

Deep clean?!

Exactly 🤣

My what?

I’ve never done it all in one go tbh, I guess 2 or 3 days? Large 4 bed house, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms. Takes a full day to do the kitchen and utility room and that’s not even a vg job of it!. I do it every few months.

Deep clean to me is wipe skirting boards, new bedsheets, clean out fridge, mop floors, wipe down all surfaces, hoover etc. Certainly not any dusting or anything like that.

🙄

Years I suspect. Many years

I suspected I'm not thorough enough 😂

I never do it in a day. I do it over a couple of weeks and just do 30 mins a day or something until it's all done. I never have a whole day free just to clean.

Those of you who do it over a few days, don't you feel as you clean when the days go by it gets messy again already !

Once every two weeks
Takes me a full day but that's because I have a 3 and 1 year old destroying everything I tidy and end up doing it twice
Deep clean for me includes dusting, bedsheets, full bathroom clean, organising drawers and wardrobes, fridge, kitchen cupboards and floors
I love cleaning day

On a normal day I make the beds, mop the kitchen floor and hoover the living room every evening before bed

That is not a deep clean! We do that at least every week. There's three of us and takes us a couple of hours over the weekend as we split the chores.

A deep clean would take me days!!
a weekly ish clean here covers dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms - toilets - kitchen cleaning
the things I don’t do often are things like cleaning cupboards, skirting boards, light fittings, spare room, under beds etc

This! I’ve got a 3 bed with a conservatory, and I do a 2-3 hour clean on a Monday and a 4 hour clean on a Friday, and that’s just a couple of bi weekly BASIC cleans. I could spend 4 hours on one room on a proper deep clean, I wonder what the op thinks that means 😂

I suspect it would take so long that by the time I'd finished, the house would be ready for another one.

Sorry, but I am going to reference your post @JaceLancs as this is exactly what I do. Life is too short to be faffing around with skirting boards, cupboards, light fittings etc.

LOLS never done one

@ariaknox

BUT HOW DO YOU HAVE THE TIME?

Seriously where do you all find all these hours for cleaning?

Nope.

I thought we might do it one day when we retire

Have never heard about deep clean before mumsnet. Do people actually have that much time to allocate a few hours a week just to clean? I generally hoover a couple of times a week,dust occasionally, get mop out every few weeks and about once a year clean cupboards,fridge etc unless an obvious spillage! Change bedclothes every couple of weeks and teenagers when they are getting smelly.

@Binfluencer
I'm self employed (own a business)
So on a normal day I work from early morning into all hours of the night
A lot of the time my children are at work with me
So I always make sure I have a full day off to sort my house out and allow my children a lazy day So they play while I do my jobs
My cleaning day is always takeaway night so no washing up or cooking
I do other things like food shop or errands during the week in between work

My whole life.
