When people book cleaning, they most often get confused between two formats: deep cleaning and maintenance (wet) cleaning. Let us look at how they differ, what they cost in Aktau and which to choose in which case.
Maintenance (wet) cleaning
This is a light, regular cleaning that keeps things in order between big cleanings. It includes dusting all surfaces, washing floors, wiping kitchen counters and cabinet fronts, cleaning the bathroom and mirrors, and taking out the trash.
This format suits you if you clean regularly and just need to keep things clean, for example once every week or two. Details are on the wet cleaning page.
Deep cleaning
This is a deep cleaning from floor to ceiling. It includes everything in maintenance cleaning plus home appliances (stove, refrigerator, microwave), windows on the inside, hard-to-reach places, limescale, baseboards, doors and radiators.
A deep cleaning is booked after a long break, a move, holidays or before renting out an apartment. By the way, cleaning the stove, refrigerator and microwave is included free in the price of a deep cleaning, while at most companies in Aktau it is a separate paid option.
The main difference is depth
- Maintenance: surfaces, floors and the bathroom, quick and regular.
- Deep: appliances, windows, buildup and hard-to-reach places.
- Frequency: maintenance cleaning is done every 1–2 weeks, deep cleaning every 1–3 months or as the occasion arises.
How to choose
Go by the condition of your apartment:
- You clean regularly yourself: maintenance cleaning every week or two is enough.
- It has been a long time since the last deep clean, or you have a move or guests coming: choose a deep cleaning.
- Not sure: start with a deep cleaning, then keep things clean with wet cleaning.
How much it costs in Aktau
Maintenance cleaning is from 18,000 ₸ and deep cleaning is from 35,000 ₸ for a 1-room apartment.
