What's Actually Included in a Detailed Refresh Clean?

The Detailed Refresh Clean sits between a standard clean and a full deep clean. Here's exactly what's included — and who it's perfect for.

What's Actually Included in a Detailed Refresh Clean?

The Detailed Refresh Clean is one of Renee's most popular services — and one of the most misunderstood. People often ask: is it just a fancier standard clean? Is it the same as a deep clean?

Short answer: it's neither. It's the sweet spot in between.

What Is a Detailed Refresh Clean?

At $85/hr, the Detailed Refresh Clean is designed for homes that are reasonably maintained but need more than a regular tidy. Think of it as a reset: every surface gets proper attention, not just a wipe-over.

What's Included

Throughout the home:

  • All reachable surfaces dusted and wiped
  • Skirtings, door frames and light switches cleaned
  • Cobwebs removed inside and out (where accessible)
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped

Kitchen:

  • Benchtops, splashbacks and sink cleaned
  • Stovetop degreased
  • Appliance exteriors wiped
  • Cupboard fronts wiped down

Bathrooms:

  • Toilet, basin, mirror and shower cleaned
  • Chrome polished
  • Grout lightly attended to
  • Floors scrubbed

Extras included that go beyond a standard clean:

  • Ceiling fans wiped
  • Window sills and tracks cleaned
  • Small interior glass and mirrors spot-cleaned
  • Furniture edges and ledges dusted

Who Is It Best For?

  • Clients who do a standard clean but want more detail every month or two
  • Pre-guest or pre-inspection preparation
  • Homes that haven't been professionally cleaned for 2–3 months
  • Anyone wanting a thorough clean without committing to a full deep clean

What It Doesn't Include

The Detailed Refresh is not a deep clean. It won't include inside the oven, inside cupboards, or grout scrubbing. For those, you'd want to book a Deep Clean or Sale-Prep Deep Clean.
