What is the difference between deep cleaning and regular cleaning services?

In shared bathrooms, there is often a build-up of limescale, organic matter, and excretory deposits in the toilets and urinals, despite excellent daily cleaning. This build-up becomes a source for bacterial growth, leading to odors and cross-contamination. This is where deep-cleaning becomes important.

Deep cleaning services in Kolkata (also referred to as “Ablution Hygiene Treatment”) are a specialized hygiene service that requires specific skills, formal application methods and products that achieve hygienic results. It removes this build-up from the ‘hard to reach’ areas that are inaccessible to daily cleaners.

When should you deep clean your office bathroom?

Depending on the size of your company we generally advise that a deep clean (ablution hygiene treatment) be done on a quarterly basis to get the best out of the service, however, offices that have little traffic may reduce the frequency to twice a year combined with good daily cleaning.

Due to the residual effects of our deep cleaning solution which continues to work even after the service is finished, one does not need to deep clean as often as daily cleaning.

Is deep cleaning is similar to regular cleaning?

Even though both of these activities involve a form of “cleaning”, the methods, application, skill set, and product preparations differ greatly.

The disinfecting services in Kolkata can play an important role in providing visible cleaning solutions. They ensure surfaces and floors are cleaned, paying particular attention to areas that contain dust, litter, and dirt.

Deep cleaning, however, is a specialized hygiene service that requires specific skills, and products to achieve hygienic results. A deep cleaning service focuses on eliminating bacterial growth in hard-to-reach areas which are the main causes of malodour.

Are the cleaning products used in deep cleaning the same as the cleaning products that your daily cleaners use?

Initial’s deep cleaning preparations make use of bacterial cleaning agents.

Providers of disinfecting services in Kolkata uses deep cleaning products that are biological preparations that contain live, beneficial bacteria that consume odor causing bacteria.

  • These bacterial cleaning agents have a residual efficacy, meaning that they keep working by spreading “beneficial” bacteria through the system for at least two weeks.
  • Bacterial cleaners are better for the environment as they are biodegradable.
  • Biological products are highly effective in removing scale and organic build up without risk to the user, the facility and/or the environment
  • These preparations do not have a damaging effect on surfaces.

Traditional cleaning products utilize chemical cleaning agents:

  • Traditional de-greasers are highly alkaline, which is harmful to skin
  • Traditional de scalars are highly acidic. This is both damaging to skin and stainless steel.
  • Over time, chemical cleaning agents cause damage to chrome/porcelain and plastic fittings as well as shorten the lifespan of equipment and surfaces.
  • Chemical cleaners do not kill bacteria and yeast.
  • Chemical cleaning products have no residual effect. As soon as a user has flushed, the effect of the chemicals is negated and there is the risk of bacterial growth, odor and cross-contamination.

Deep cleaning versus general cleaning

Neither of these activities should be viewed in isolation. Daily cleaning and deep cleaning services complement each other in both the short and long term.

Your daily cleaners are responsible for your regular surface cleaning on a day to day basis, ensuring the cleanliness and presentability of your bathroom facilities. Your providers of deep cleaning services in Kolkata will focus on sanitizing areas out of reach to your daily cleaners. This is to prevent the growth of bacteria that cause odours, as well as cross-infection that can lead to a lot of diseases.

The frequency of deep cleaning services will depend on the premises size, daily cleaning routine, user profile and number of staff to mention several factors. On average, it is recommended that a deep cleaning service should take place every quarter, but it can vary between monthly services in extreme circumstances, to bi-annual services in less frequented spaces.
