What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning is our marquee service offering and the cornerstone of what makes Total Cleaning Manila stand out in the Metro Manila market. This is not a standard clean — it is a comprehensive, professional-grade disinfection and sanitary masterclass that leaves your space free of germs up to 99%, giving you the confidence and peace of mind that your environment is safe for work, rest, and play.
Our deep cleaning service incorporates the latest and most effective cleaning techniques from around the world, adopted directly from Total Cleaning Melbourne in Australia. Every member of our cleaning team has been trained by the Melbourne team, ensuring that the service you receive in Metro Manila meets an international standard of excellence.
Why Deep Cleaning Matters for Health and Hygiene
A clean, hygienic space is not a luxury — it is a baseline requirement for any home, office, or commercial environment where people live, work, eat, or rest. Whether you are running an office, managing a condominium, or maintaining your family home, the ability to operate with confidence depends on knowing that your environment has been professionally sanitized — not just tidied.
Deep cleaning addresses what surface cleaning cannot reach. Bacteria, allergens, dust mites, mold spores, and viruses accumulate in carpets, upholstery, grout lines, air conditioning vents, behind appliances, and on surfaces that look clean to the naked eye but harbor invisible contaminants. These are the everyday culprits behind avoidable household illness — gastroenteritis from kitchen contamination, respiratory irritation from dust mites and mold, and the steady spread of cold and flu through high-touch surfaces in shared spaces.
Our deep cleaning process eliminates these threats with a systematic, room-by-room approach that combines hospital-grade disinfectants, steam treatment for porous surfaces, and our signature triple-wipe technique. The result is a space that is not just clean to look at — it is genuinely sanitized at the level required for healthy day-to-day living. For a deeper read on the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting — and where germs typically hide — see our guide to disinfecting services in Manila.

What Is Included in Our Deep Cleaning Service?

- Full surface cleaning — all the benefits of our standard surface clean (disinfection, kitchen, bathroom, dusting, floors, and staging) are included as the foundation
- Steam cleaning of carpets and surfaces — high-temperature steam penetrates fibers and surfaces to kill bacteria and remove embedded dirt that vacuuming alone cannot reach
- Triple wipe system — all glass, metallic, and working surfaces receive three passes using our best-of-breed technique: a hot clean, a cold clean, and a final disinfection wipe
- Professional disinfection — hospital-grade disinfectants are applied across all surfaces, leaving the environment up to 99% germ-free
- Grout and tile deep cleaning — bathrooms, kitchens, and tiled areas are scrubbed to remove buildup, mold, and discoloration
- Appliance interior cleaning — ovens, refrigerators, and microwaves are cleaned inside and out
- Upholstery treatment — fabric sofas, chairs, and cushions are treated to remove stains, odors, and allergens
- Air quality improvement — by removing dust, allergens, and microbial contaminants from all surfaces, deep cleaning significantly improves the air quality within your space
Our Deep Cleaning Process
When you book a deep cleaning session with Total Cleaning Manila, here is what happens from start to finish:
- Pre-clean consultation — our team leader assesses your space, identifies priority areas, and discusses any specific concerns or requests you may have
- Declutter and preparation — furniture is moved as needed to access hidden areas, and loose items are organized to allow full surface access
- Surface cleaning phase — all visible surfaces are cleaned, wiped, and dusted using our standard surface cleaning protocol
- Steam cleaning phase — professional steam cleaning equipment is used on carpets, rugs, upholstery, and hard surfaces to eliminate deep-seated dirt and bacteria
- Triple wipe application — glass, metallic, and working surfaces receive the three-pass treatment (hot, cold, disinfection) that is central to our methodology
- Disinfection phase — all surfaces are treated with professional-grade disinfectant, ensuring up to 99% of germs are eliminated
- Final inspection and walkthrough — our team leader conducts a detailed inspection to confirm every area meets our quality standard before handover
The entire deep cleaning process typically takes 4 or more hours, depending on the size of your space and the level of accumulated dirt and contamination.

Professional-Grade Equipment and Techniques
What sets Total Cleaning Manila apart from other cleaning services in the Philippines is our equipment and methodology. Our international pedigree, developed through long years of service in Australia via Total Cleaning Melbourne, means we bring the latest and greatest cleaning techniques to the Philippine domestic market.
We use commercial-grade steam cleaners, hospital-grade disinfectants, and specialized cleaning agents that are not available through standard consumer channels. Every piece of equipment and every product is selected for its effectiveness, safety, and ability to deliver results that transform your space to a pristine standard.
As we say: we may not be the cheapest, but we are confident we will be the best in meeting your sanitary and cleaning requirements.
When to Choose Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning is the right choice when:
- Your space has not been professionally cleaned in over a month
- You need disinfection to a medical-grade standard (up to 99% germ-free)
- You are dealing with post-illness sanitization and need confidence that your environment is safe
- You want to reset your space to a pristine condition before starting a regular surface cleaning schedule
- Your office or residence has high foot traffic and accumulates dirt and contaminants quickly
- You have carpets, rugs, or upholstered furniture that need professional treatment
For spaces that are already well maintained and just need a regular professional touch, our surface cleaning service may be more appropriate. For newly built or renovated properties, start with our post-construction cleaning service instead. Still deciding? Our guide General Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning in the Philippines walks through the key differences in detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does deep cleaning cost in Metro Manila?
Deep cleaning at Total Cleaning Manila is PHP 5,750 per 50 square meters, with 50sqm as the minimum area. This all-inclusive rate covers steam cleaning of carpets and upholstery, our triple wipe disinfection system across all surfaces, hospital-grade sanitation, grout and tile deep clean, appliance interior cleaning, and a full pre-and-post inspection. Larger properties qualify for sliding-scale per-square-meter discounts above 100sqm. We are positioned in the premium tier of Manila cleaning services because we include capabilities — particularly steam cleaning and 99% germ-free disinfection — that lower-tier providers do not offer.
How long does a deep cleaning session take?
A deep cleaning session takes a minimum of 4 hours and can extend longer depending on the size of the space and its current condition. For a standard 50sqm apartment or office, expect approximately 4 to 6 hours. Larger properties or heavily soiled spaces may require a full day.
Is deep cleaning safe for my furniture and surfaces?
Yes. Our team is trained to assess each surface and select the appropriate cleaning method and products. We use professional-grade agents that are tough on dirt and germs but safe for fabrics, wood, glass, metal, and stone. If you have specific concerns about delicate surfaces, let us know during the pre-clean consultation.
How often should I schedule deep cleaning?
For most offices and residences, a monthly deep clean combined with weekly surface cleaning delivers optimal results. Our subscription packages are designed around this schedule. High-traffic environments such as clinics, shared offices, and family homes with young children may benefit from fortnightly deep cleaning.
What does “up to 99% germ-free” mean?
Our triple wipe system and professional disinfection process have been validated to eliminate up to 99% of common bacteria and viruses from treated surfaces. This includes pathogens responsible for colds, flu, and gastrointestinal infections. The exact efficacy depends on the surface type and level of contamination.
Do I need to prepare anything before the deep cleaning team arrives?
We recommend removing personal items such as valuables, documents, and breakables from surfaces that will be cleaned. Our team can assist with moving furniture as needed. Beyond that, there is no special preparation required — we bring all equipment and supplies with us.
