Two Types of Clean — Two Very Different Results
When Melbourne and Perth business owners ask us about office cleaning, they often use "deep clean" and "regular clean" interchangeably. They're not the same thing — and understanding the difference helps you budget appropriately and keep your office in top condition year-round.
Taspro Cleaning Solutions provides both types of cleaning across Melbourne and Perth. Here's how they differ and when you need each.
What Is a Regular Office Clean?
A regular office clean — whether daily, 3× per week, or weekly — covers the visible, frequently-used surfaces and areas. The goal is to maintain a consistent baseline of cleanliness and hygiene.
A typical regular clean includes:
- All hard floors swept, vacuumed and mopped
- Carpets vacuumed
- Visible surfaces dusted and wiped
- Bathrooms cleaned and sanitised
- Kitchen benchtops, sink, and appliance exteriors wiped
- Bins emptied and relined
- Glass and mirrors polished
- High-touch points disinfected
Regular cleans are the backbone of office hygiene. Our Melbourne and Perth commercial cleaning teams deliver consistent results on every scheduled visit.
What Is a Deep Clean?
A deep clean goes significantly further — targeting areas that regular cleaning doesn't reach and performing tasks that aren't feasible on a weekly schedule. Deep cleans typically take 2–4× longer than a regular clean of the same space.
A professional office deep clean includes everything in a regular clean, plus:
- Inside oven, microwave, and fridge
- Behind and underneath all furniture and appliances
- Detailed skirting boards and door frames
- Ceiling fans and light fittings
- Window tracks, sills, and blind slats
- Inside cupboards and drawers
- Carpet steam cleaning
- Detailed grout scrubbing in bathrooms and kitchens
- Wall spot cleaning
- Air vent covers vacuumed

When Does Your Melbourne or Perth Office Need a Deep Clean?
Most offices should schedule a professional deep clean:
- Every 3–6 months as a routine maintenance deep clean
- Before moving in to a new office space
- Before a major event — conference, board meeting, client site visit
- After renovations — construction dust and residue require specialised cleaning
- After an extended closure — returning from a long holiday break
- When taking over from a previous tenant — you don't know the cleaning history
Taspro's Melbourne and Perth teams are available for once-off deep cleans with no ongoing commitment required.
The Cost Difference: Regular vs Deep Clean
Deep cleans cost more than regular cleans because they take significantly longer and require more equipment and product. As a guide:
- Regular weekly clean (200m² office, Melbourne/Perth) — from $180–$250
- Quarterly deep clean (same office) — from $450–$700
When you calculate the annual cost, a regular cleaning program plus 4 quarterly deep cleans works out to be very cost-effective insurance for your office's condition and your team's health. Use our online quote tool for a precise estimate, or contact Taspro directly.
Can You Skip Regular Cleans and Just Do Deep Cleans?
Some business owners ask whether they can reduce costs by skipping regular cleans and doing periodic deep cleans instead. We don't recommend this approach:
- Bacteria and viruses spread rapidly in unclean shared spaces — regular disinfection is essential
- Surfaces left uncleaned for weeks develop harder-to-remove buildup
- Pests establish themselves in kitchens and bathrooms not cleaned regularly
- Staff morale suffers in a consistently messy environment
The right approach is regular cleaning as the baseline, with deep cleans on a quarterly schedule. Taspro can design a program that covers both within your budget.
Combining Regular and Deep Cleaning — The Taspro Approach
Our most effective Melbourne and Perth commercial cleaning programs combine:
- Regular scheduled cleans (daily, 3×/week, or weekly)
- Quarterly deep cleans included or separately scheduled
- Spot deep-clean tasks added to regular visits as needed (inside microwave, fridge clean-out)
This layered approach ensures your office is always presentable for day-to-day use while staying genuinely clean at a deeper level. See how other Melbourne and Perth businesses manage this by reading our Google reviews.
