Frequently asked questions about deep cleaning
Doing a professional deep clean is often considered a seasonal clean, however, to maintain a hygienic and maintained environment deep cleaning should be a regular occurrence. Commercial Deep cleaning is different from regular cleaning because it reaches the deep grime and soiling that would not be covered in a regular clean. Additionally, it covers tasks which are beyond a regular cleaning cycle. At Total Clean, we liaise closely with our clients to tailor deep cleans around the needs of the facility we are cleaning.
Our experienced cleaners are trained to the highest standards to carry deep cleans in any business sector.

We recommend a 5 step program to deep clean carpets:
Step One
Assess your carpet. Check to see what type of fibre the carpet is made from and what the construction of it is. This will determine which cleaning method and solution will give the optimum clean. Check for stains and other problems which require treatment.
Step Two
Thoroughly vacuum the carpet using a high powered commercial grade vacuum cleaner. The soil in a carpet is dry so it is important to remove as much of this as possible before any other cleaning begins, otherwise, the treatments will sit on top of the dry soiling.
Step Three
Treat spots or stains with the appropriate spotting and stain removing solution. The stain may need steam cleaning if it is hard soiling.
Step Four
A carpet cleaning pre-treatment can be applied to the carpet. The solution will break the bond between the soil and the fibres of the carpet. There are many different types of carpet pre-treatment depending on the type of soils in the carpet. For example, a dirty carpet in a retail store will require a different cleaning solution to a fine oriental rug in an office.
Step Five
The cleaning solution is worked into the carpet fibres with special machinery. This final process also restores the pile of the carpet lifting any flattened areas.
