If you’re moving into a new apartment, you may want to give it the once-over with a deep cleaning service. This type of cleaning is a bit more involved than regular cleaning and is often more expensive, but it will leave your space looking and smelling great.

Most apartment deep cleaning offer a variety of options, from basic weekly cleanings (often based on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms) to more specific options like laundry washing, dog walking, or post-party cleanup. Brick unpacks the different options so you can choose the best one for your needs.

The Toilet

Your landlord’s previous tenants probably gave the toilet a good scrub before leaving, but this is a place that can really collect germs and grime over time. Wipe it down, inside and out, and give the bowl a good rinse with disinfectant to kill any bacteria.

These are a hotbed for fingerprints, pet slobber, and dust that can build up on a regular basis. Give them a wipe-down with all-purpose cleaner or disinfectant to kill any germs lurking on the surfaces.

The Floors

While your landlord may have swept and vacuumed the floors, they might need to be deep cleaned. Use a strong carpet shampooer (available for rent at many grocery and hardware stores) or call in the professionals for a deeper, more thorough cleaning of any stains or discolorations. You can also clean the baseboards, and do a sweep of any ceiling fans or light fixtures to remove dust and cobwebs.
