Deep Cleaning Service in Metairie, LA

A deep cleaning service in Metairie is the clean you book when wiping the counters isn't cutting it anymore. We work from 1400 Cleary Ave, so Old Metairie, Bucktown and Fat City are a short drive, and we run deep cleaning in New Orleans and across the lake on the Northshore every week too. Below is exactly what a deep clean adds, what it costs, how long it takes, and when it's worth paying for.

Here's the honest version. A standard clean keeps a house that's already in shape looking good. A deep clean is for the house that isn't there yet: the bathroom grout has gone from white to tan, the baseboards have a grey line along the top edge, and the ceiling fan throws dust when you switch it on. That buildup doesn't come off with a quick wipe. It takes a brush, some dwell time, and somebody willing to get down on the floor.

South Louisiana makes it worse. Humidity sits in the 70s and 80s most of the year, so dust doesn't stay dry. It turns tacky and sticks to everything, especially kitchen surfaces near the stove where it mixes with cooking grease. Mildew starts in shower corners and on the caulk behind faucets. Then spring pollen comes through, and after that the termite swarm, and suddenly every sill in the house needs attention. A deep clean resets all of it in one visit.

Deep cleaning service Metairie — what's included

Everything in our standard clean, plus the slow, detailed work a standard visit doesn't have time for:

Want the inside of the oven, the inside of the fridge, interior windows, or the cabinets emptied and wiped inside? Those are add-ons in the estimator. Check them and your price updates before you commit.

Get your deep clean price in 60 seconds

Pick "deep clean," enter your square footage and bathrooms, tell us honestly how the house looks right now, and add any extras. The estimator shows you a flat price before you book anything. No walkthrough, no "we'll call you back with a number."

Your price shows at the add-ons step. A $50 deposit holds your date and comes off the total. The rest is charged to your card on file the morning of the cleaning.

What a deep cleaning service in Metairie costs

These are real numbers for a deep cleaning service in Metairie and the rest of our area, straight from our price engine, for a one-time clean on a house in normal condition. A home that's gone a long time without a real clean, or one with heavy pet hair, comes out higher. The estimator shows you that before you book, not on your doorstep.

So which one do you need? A standard clean is maintenance for a house that's been kept up. A deep clean is for a lived-in house with buildup: furniture still in place, but the grout, baseboards, vents and blinds all need real work. Move-in / move-out cleaning is for an empty house, so we can get inside every cabinet, drawer and closet. If you're not sure, call and describe the house. We'll tell you straight.

After the deep clean, most people keep the house there with The Standing Clean, our recurring plan: 20% off weekly, 12% off every two weeks, or 5% off monthly. Our minimum visit is $180.

When you actually need a deep clean

• Your first visit with us. If the house hasn't had a professional clean in a while, we start with a deep clean. It gets the buildup out once, so every recurring visit after that is faster and costs less.
• After a party, or after Mardi Gras. Two weeks of parade-route guests, glitter in the rugs, beads in the couch cushions, and a kitchen that fed everyone. Ash Wednesday is a popular week for us.
• Before and after the holidays. Before Thanksgiving so the house is ready for family. After New Year's so you're not living with the leftovers of it into February.
• Spring pollen season. In March and April a yellow-green film covers every car, porch and window sill from Metairie to Mandeville. It comes in on shoes and through every door, and it settles on blinds, vents and fan blades.
• After someone's been sick. Door handles, switches, remotes, faucet handles, bathroom surfaces and bedside tables: all the touchpoints, wiped and disinfected.
• Before you list the house. Listing photos pick up dirty grout, dusty blinds and a hazy shower door. A deep clean before the photographer comes is cheap compared to what a better first impression is worth.
• After a long stretch away, or after storm season. A house that sat closed up through August or after an evacuation needs a reset: dust, musty smells, sometimes mildew starting on the walls of a closed bathroom.

How long a deep clean takes

Longer than a standard clean, and it should. Expect roughly 3 to 6 hours for most homes. Square footage, the number of bathrooms, and how much buildup there is matter most. A 1,200 sq ft condo in Fat City with one bathroom sits at the short end. A 2,500 sq ft Old Metairie house with three baths, lots of trim and a kitchen that does real cooking sits at the long end. Our deep cleaning crews in New Orleans see the same pattern: older homes with tall ceilings and lots of millwork take longer than their square footage suggests.

We don't rush it to hit a time. The price is flat, so an extra half hour on the shower doesn't cost you anything more.

Deep cleaning in Metairie, New Orleans and nearby

Where the house is changes what the deep clean focuses on. Here's what we run into:

• Old Metairie: the larger, older homes around Metairie Road and the country club. Big oaks mean leaf litter and pollen tracked in, and these houses have more trim, crown molding and built-ins to hand-wipe than newer builds. See also house cleaning in Old Metairie.
• Bucktown: right on the lake by the 17th Street Canal. Lake air and humidity mean mildew moves faster in bathrooms and closets, and screened porches and sliding-door tracks collect grit.
• Fat City: condos and apartments between Veterans and West Esplanade. Smaller footprints, but older kitchens with years of grease on the cabinet fronts and range hoods. Tenants moving out usually want a apartment cleaning or move-out clean.
• Metairie Terrace: postwar brick ranches between Veterans and Metairie Road. Tile and terrazzo floors where grout and edges matter more than square footage.
• Bonnabel: mid-century homes running up toward the lake and the Bonnabel boat launch. Older window tracks and sills that fill with lake grit.
• Lakeview and Lake Vista: across the canal in New Orleans. Many Lakeview homes were rebuilt raised after 2005, so there are more stairs, more glass and bigger kitchens. Lake Vista's houses along the pedestrian lanes get the same lake humidity Bucktown does. House cleaning in Lakeview.
• Kenner: slab homes with wall-to-wall tile, so grout scrubbing is most of a Kenner deep clean. Homes under the airport approach collect grime on sills and windows faster.
• Harahan and River Ridge: ranch homes off Jefferson Highway, close to the river and the levee. Lots of oak pollen in spring, and screened porches that need their own attention.
• Uptown New Orleans: shotguns and raised center-halls with 12-foot ceilings, transoms, heart pine floors and original millwork. Deep cleaning New Orleans houses this old means ladders for fans and transoms, and gentle products on old wood. Parade season along St. Charles adds its own mess.

Across the lake, we also handle deep cleans in Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville and Slidell, where the spring pine pollen is even heavier than it is on the Southshore.

Deep cleaning questions we get on the phone

Getting the most out of your deep clean

A few things on your end make a big difference in how the house looks when the crew from our deep cleaning service in Metairie leaves.

Clear the surfaces you want cleaned

We'll move what's reasonable, but we don't reorganize your things. If the kitchen counter is half mail and half small appliances, we clean around them. Fifteen minutes clearing counters, the bathroom vanity and the nightstands the night before means we spend our time scrubbing instead of working around piles.

Tell us about the problem spots

The shower door with hard water haze, the stained grout by the back door, the vent over the stove nobody's touched since you moved in. Put it in your booking notes. We'll spend the time where it matters most to you.

Mention anything delicate

Unsealed marble, old heart pine floors, original plaster, an antique that shouldn't get wet. Old Metairie and Uptown homes have a lot of this. Knowing ahead of time means we bring the right product and skip the wrong one.

Handle the pets

Crate them or put them in a closed room if they're nervous around a vacuum. A dog that follows the crew around is fine. A cat that bolts out an open door is not.

One more seasonal note. If you're booking in late April or May, expect us to spend extra time on the sills and light fixtures. That's Formosan termite swarm season across Metairie and New Orleans, and the wings pile up on every sill near a light. We'll take care of it during the deep clean without you having to ask.
