Deep-clean kitchen & toilet.

Deep cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms — the two highest-grime, most-overlooked rooms — typically costs £90–£280 as a one-off booking in the UK, depending on size, condition and whether oven cleaning is included. Most professional cleaners handle these as a "key-room deep clean" rather than a whole-house spring clean, which is useful when budget is tight or only certain rooms need attention.

The job typically takes 3–6 hours for a typical 3-bed home (one kitchen, one main bathroom, one en-suite or cloakroom).

What's covered in a kitchen deep clean

• Inside the oven — full strip-down of racks, trays and door panel; degreaser on internal walls; baked-on grease removed.
• Hob and extractor — gas burners or induction surface, splashback, extractor hood including filters (which often need replacing rather than cleaning).
• Inside the fridge and freezer — empty out, deep clean shelves and door seals, defrost freezer if needed.
• Inside the microwave — degrease, deodorise.
• Cupboard and drawer interiors — empty (with permission), wipe out, replace contents tidily.
• Behind movable appliances — kettle, toaster, microwave area; sometimes washing machine and dishwasher fronts.
• Under-sink area — clear, wipe, check for leaks.
• Floor — sweep, mop with degreaser, including under and around appliances.
• Walls and tile splashback — degrease and remove grease build-up around the cooking zone.

What's covered in a bathroom deep clean

• Limescale removal — taps, shower head, glass screen, around plug holes. Acidic descaler for stubborn marks.
• Toilet — under the rim, behind the bowl, base seal, hinges and seat fittings.
• Shower / bath — grout cleaning, silicone re-application if needed, screen tracks, shower head descaled.
• Tile grout — scrub or steam clean discolouration; treat for mould if present.
• Extractor fan — vacuum dust from grille and fan blades.
• Mirror, lights, towel rails — polish glass, wipe lighting fittings.
• Floor and skirting — mop, including behind toilet base and under bath skirt where reachable.

Typical UK costs

When you might need a deep clean

• Pre-house-sale — first impressions matter; £200 spent on a kitchen and bathroom deep clean often pays back many times in offer prices.
• End of tenancy — landlords expect kitchens and bathrooms to be at let-ready condition. A specialist tenancy clean is the safer route here.
• After a build or refurb — dust gets everywhere even with sheeting. A post-build clean removes plaster dust, paint splatter, and general grime.
• Quarterly or seasonal — many busy households book a kitchen + bathroom deep clean every 3–6 months alongside their regular cleaning.
• After illness or pet incidents — full sanitisation of the kitchen and bathrooms gives peace of mind.

Things people often miss

• Oven self-clean cycles damage seals — pyrolytic self-clean is hot and short-lifing for oven door seals. A professional clean uses degreaser without thermal stress.
• Extractor filters need replacing not cleaning — most metal mesh filters are dishwasher-safe; carbon filters in recirculating hoods are single-use and should be replaced every 4–6 months.
• Silicone discolouration is rarely the silicone — black mould lives behind silicone; cleaning the surface won't remove it. The fix is to remove the old silicone, clean the substrate, and re-silicone. Many cleaners include this for an additional £40–£80.
• Limescale needs the right product — acidic descalers (vinegar, citric acid) work on calcium; not all "limescale removers" do. Check labels — phosphoric acid or hydrochloric acid products are most effective on stubborn build-up but need careful application.
• Floor under fridges / cookers — moving these is a 2-person job and risks scratching laminate. Confirm whether the cleaner does this themselves or expects help.
