What exactly is a DEEP clean ?

[revolvenotevolve]

So we've had a week of 4DC and two adults with a vomiting bug. My Mum rang and said my whole house would need a DEEP clean.
What is a DEEP clean?! I clean as I think is normal (hoovering about 3 times per week, bathroom about twice a week with a vague wipe in between, kitchen gets a wipe over before and after food prep). Is this a shallow clean though ?! What constitues a DEEP CLEAN ?!

For me, a deep clean involves starting at the top of a room and working my way downwards with as much elbow grease as possible using the strongest possible cleaning produce each surface will allow.

After a vomiting bug I use bleach liberally round the kitchen/bathroom & loo.
I use one of those 99.9% anti-bac cleaners on most other surfaces and a good wipe/dust as appropriate on everything else.

Change of bedding, all hot washed and including bathmats & dressing gowns.

If anyone has vommed on bedding I would take the actual duvets to the laundry too.

After a bug I would be cleaning things like door handles, light switches, remote controls, phones, window handles, kitchen/bathroom cupboard and drawer handles.

Stuff that is constantly touched but not really thought about iyswim.

Thanks - hadn't thought of things like tv controllers etc so will get on to that - is a baby wipe sufficient to get things clean on these types of things ?

If the wipes are antibacterial, they should be fine. You just wanna kill any bugs that might be lurking.
