Setting a Foundation: Why Starting With a Deep Clean Matters

Starting off with a cleaning service is a real commitment. You’ve come to the right place, but all of a sudden there are so many options when it comes to actually cleaning your home, and if you’ve been cleaning your own home for a while, you know exactly what your home might need. This fact means it may be tempting to start off with a regular maintenence clean, which are less intensive and less expensive then the initial deep cleans. However, doing so may mean skipping the most important step that keeps dirt, allergens, and germs out of your home. Chicka Chicka Broom, with over 14 years of service cleaning homes, polishing our skills with our tools and products, know that starting off our initial deep cleans is the best way to create a foundation from which to build off of in the following maintenence cleans. When you get a fresh start with a truly thorough clean, we’re not just wiping surfaces. We’re removing built-up dust, tackling hidden grime, and reaching those overlooked corners that everyday cleaning simply can’t address. That initial investment creates a reset. It’s a fresh foundation, and from there, everything becomes easier.

The “Reset” Effect

If you have ever cleaned a home, you know how impossible it is to keep a lid on the amount of dirt that winds up coming in without our permission. It looks like spills that the kiddos leave behind after breakfast, it looks fur in the corners after our furry companions track in from outside, and it looks like the dust that seems to seek out our vents and ceiling fans (like a homing missile for the most out-of-the-way places). If the only cleaning that we do is a regular wipe up and dust down? Well, it will be no surprise when dirt levels rise under the radar. That is why Chicka Chicka Broom’s services work best when we ‘reset’ your home with the initial deep clean. When doing so, we can hit all of the dirt and grime that builds up, the stuff that a regular maintenence clean jsut will not be able to get to. Eventually, maintenence cleans cannot keep up with the demands of a clean household. They are far more effective (and faster) once the buildup has been dealt with by a deep clean that gets into all the corners and edges. It’s the same thing with shampooing, you start off with doing a deep clean of your hair, that removes any trace of grime in your hair, so that when you apply conditioner, it has a base to work off of to keep your hair shiny and healthy while also protecting it from damage and further grime.

Years of Neglect Can Happen Quietly

When we first move into a shiny new home, it can hard to imagine the space ever looking anywhere near as bad as it could. This is especially true when we think to ourselves “I’ll make sure to keep on top of cleaning, that way my home will always look that nice.” However, things can get out of hand rather quickly, especially with the busy lives we lead today, where our kids or pets may not have the same standards. The we add furniture, appliances, tables and tv’s, and all of a sudden our homes are the perfect environment for hidden dirt to make it’s way in (under furniture, behind appliances, on baseboards and woodwork). A deep clean ensures no lingering dust, allergens, or residue remain from before regular service begins. This will help avoid “band-aid” cleaning, where only the symptoms of a dirty house are addressed, and not the underlying causes.

Setting the Standard

Starting with a deep clean allows our professionally trained technicians to start from a baseline of true cleanliness, a state where we are at our best, handling the dirt and grime in your house before it ever becomes a problem. Once we achive that standard, the maintenence cleans become something that is true to the name, something that maintains that standard. We try to get every house we clean to this same standard because that is what our technicians are trained for; they know how to use their tools, products, and time efficiently to bring the maximum level of cleanliness to your home at the lowest amount of investment. Skipping the deep cleans means that our technicians may not be able to service your home to the best of our abilities, as we may not be able to address the hidden and deep-seated grime hiding in corners and behind furniture. Skipping the initial deep clean can only go so far, since maintenence cleans can only go so far; they are meant to upkeep, not overhaul.

Better Results, Faster Time

So, we came in, did our big initial clean and really got into the nitty-gritty of your home, taking our time to really make your space shine. Now we have the recurring maintenence cleans set up. Now that we have our stage, what do we do with it that makes the initial deep clean worth it? Now that we have done the work to make your home sparkle, each time we come back, we will get faster, our timing will be more efficient, our cleans will be more consistent. We will always hit the pain points in your home, and we will know what your priorities are, so that we can make each visit one that you can be totally satisfied with. With more consistency, efficency, and comprehensivity, we can even reduce the cost and time of these recurring maintenence cleans over time without sacrificing quality. Having done the intial deep clean, our team will understand the layout of your home. The pain spots and different kinds of material (stainless steel, wood vs tile florring, etc.) will be known to us so we will be able to tailor our cleans to the specific needs of your house. With the combination of our intial deep clean plus recurring maintenence cleans, we can build a personlaized cleaning plan that specifically addresses your needs as well as the needs of your family.

An Investment That Pays Off

As mentioned before, sometimes the dirt can really sneak up on you, especially after a few seasons in one place. In Minnesota, the Fall brings in leaves that always seem tofind their way into the most out-of-the-way locations, The Winter loves to bring in the snow, sleet, and mud from outside, and the Spring brings it’s own mud as well as rain into our abodes. With Mother Nature seeming to want a place at our dinner tables, things like buildup, wear and tear, staining, or even damage in certain areas can sneak up on us, especially without preventative care. Things like grout discoloration in our showers, sinks, and tubs, or appliance gunk hiding in ovens and fridges can surprise us when we think we have a handle on our cleaning, but the scope of work accomplished by a regular clean may not be enough to address these concerns. We want to be able to call our houses “homes,” and we want to do so for a long, long time, but hidden buildup like these can cause damage that flies under the radar, impacting our quality of life. An intial deep clean, in this light, is like an investemnt into the longevity of your home. Doing a deep clean will help to address these concerns, keeping your home as fresh as the day you moved in, and keeping them healthy for your family.

Take A Load Off

While doing a rgular clean can help to “shine over” our homes, there may be something missing. You might be able to feel it, the crumbs hidden underneath the toaster, the lint balls behind the washing machine, the dirt tracks hiding underneath the entrance throw rug. All togetherm, these small things can work together to make your home feel not clean, even after a scrub down. We all love the the feel of a truly clean home, a home that has all it’s boxes checked. Sucha space does wonders for our peace of mind, we can rest easy and focus hard when these little things aren’t nagging at us while we’re working on projects or making dinner. That’s another win for deep cleans; their comprehensive nature means all the little things that crop up time and time again are truly addressed, and not just ignored. The result is a space where you feel relaxed and rejuvenated, able to tackle everything life throws at you with poise and strength. One can imagine this very satisfying, and that is why we wish to achieve that for you. Let us set that stage for you and work to maintain it. Trust us, your brain will thank you.

Before And After Power

Listen, we’ve all been there. It’s only one little peek at the phone, then we’ll get right back to what we were doing. Five minutes turn into fifteen, which turns into an hour, and all of a sudden we’ve spent some time on something that might not be too productive. If you’re anything like us, you might come across a little genre of before and afters. It could be houses, cars, or even rugs. It is one of the most satisfying things to watch something go almost literally from rags to riches. To see something go from soiled to sparkling really makes something in our brains happy. With our help, we can bring the magic of a before and after to your home, not just to FaceBook. Doing a deep clean often reveals a dramatic before and after transformation of your home, which to us really sells the value of our deep cleans. Not just us either; just listen to Alyse Fields, a customer who is very pleased with our deep cleans:

“Team completed initial clean of our home and its so clean that I’m not sure I can let my children back inside! We have hard water and oil rubbed bronze faucets that show mineral deposits – they are clean and buildup free. Very pleased.”

It’s not just Alyse either, dozens of clients have expressed their satisfaction with our services, and so let us do the same for you, and turn your home from rags to riches in real time.
