Your home looks clean on the surface. But when was the last time someone scrubbed behind the toilet? Or wiped down the inside of your oven? Or cleaned the dust hiding behind your fridge?

That is exactly what a professional deep house cleaning in Ottawa covers.

If you live in Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans, or anywhere else in Ottawa, and your home needs a proper top-to-bottom clean, this guide is for you. We will walk you through exactly what gets done during a professional deep cleaning, room by room, so you know what to expect.

What Is a Deep House Cleaning? (And How Is It Different from Regular Cleaning?)

A regular cleaning keeps your home tidy. It covers the basics like vacuuming, mopping, wiping counters, and cleaning bathrooms.

A deep house cleaning in Ottawa goes much further. It targets the dirt and grime that builds up over time in places regular cleaning misses. Think inside appliances, baseboards, grout lines, light fixtures, and cabinet doors.

Here is a simple way to think about it:

  • Regular cleaning = maintains cleanliness week to week

  • Deep cleaning = resets your home to a clean, fresh base

Most Ottawa homeowners book a deep cleaning once or twice a year, before or after a move, after a renovation, or simply when things have gotten out of hand.

What's Included in a Professional Deep House Cleaning in Ottawa?

Here is a full breakdown of what our team at Ezi Home Services covers during a .

1. Kitchen Deep Cleaning

The kitchen gets used every single day. It collects grease, food spills, and odours fast. Here is what gets cleaned:

  • Appliance exteriors and interiors - oven, microwave, refrigerator (inside and out)

  • Cabinet doors and drawer fronts - wiped down, including handles

  • Backsplash - grease and splatter removed

  • Sink and faucet - scrubbed and sanitized

  • Countertops - cleaned under appliances too

  • Range hood and filters - wiped clean of grease buildup

  • Light fixtures - dusted and wiped

  • Baseboards - often skipped during regular cleans, always included in a deep clean

The kitchen is where most homeowners feel the biggest difference after a deep clean.

2. Bathroom Deep Cleaning

Bathrooms need serious attention. Our team does not just wipe the visible surfaces. We go after every corner.

  • Toilet - inside the bowl, under the rim, behind the base, and around the tank

  • Shower and tub - scrubbing grout lines, removing soap scum and mildew

  • Sink and faucet - descaled and polished

  • Mirrors - streak-free clean

  • Cabinet doors - inside and out

  • Floors - mopped, including behind the toilet

  • Exhaust fan - dusted

  • Baseboards and corners - fully cleaned

Whether you are in a small condo in Centretown or a large home in Nepean, the bathroom deep clean is always thorough.

3. Bedrooms

Bedrooms are personal spaces. Dust, allergens, and pet hair like to settle here. A deep clean covers:

  • Under the bed - vacuumed and mopped

  • Baseboards - wiped clean

  • Window sills and ledges - dusted

  • Ceiling fans and light fixtures - cleaned

  • Closet floors - vacuumed

  • Furniture surfaces - dusted and wiped, including headboards and nightstands

  • Doors and door frames - wiped down

This is especially helpful for families in Gloucester and Orleans where kids and pets move between rooms constantly.

4. Living Room and Common Areas

The living room sees the most daily traffic. Here is what we take care of:

  • Furniture - cushions vacuumed, surfaces wiped

  • Baseboards - fully dusted and wiped

  • Window sills - cleaned inside

  • Ceiling fans and light switches - dusted and wiped

  • Shelving and decor - dusted

  • Floors - vacuumed and mopped based on floor type

  • Vents - dusted to improve air circulation

5. Hallways, Stairs, and Entryways

These areas track in dirt from outside every day. They often get missed during regular cleanings.

  • Baseboards on all stairs - wiped down

  • Handrails - sanitized

  • Light switches and outlet covers - wiped

  • Closet shelves and floors - cleaned

Homes in Stittsville and Kanata get a lot of outdoor use, so these areas tend to need extra attention in spring and fall.

6. Laundry Room and Basement Areas

  • Washer and dryer - exterior wiped, inside drum cleaned

  • Behind appliances - swept and mopped

  • Shelving - wiped down

  • Floors - swept and mopped

7. Windows, Doors, and Baseboards (Whole Home)

These surfaces run through every room of your home. They collect dust, fingerprints, and grime over time.

  • Interior window glass - cleaned (interior only unless window cleaning is booked separately)

  • Window sills and tracks - wiped

  • Door frames and doors - top to bottom, both sides

  • Baseboards - wiped throughout the entire home

  • Light switches and outlet plates - sanitized
