What is deep cleaning, and why do you need it?
Deep cleaning is a thorough, one-off clean that goes well beyond vacuuming and dusting. It reaches what routine visits do not: grease on kitchen surfaces and appliances, limescale on taps and shower glass, dirty grout, and the dust that builds up in corners and on high surfaces.
Regular cleaning keeps a clean home clean. A deep clean resets a home that has gone too long without attention, so that regular cleaning afterwards is quick and effective. It also makes a big difference when you are moving in, handing back keys, preparing a property for new occupants, or simply refreshing your home after a busy season.

What's included in our deep cleaning services
Our deep cleaning covers every room of the property, with extra attention to the places that need it most:
Kitchen deep cleaning
Degreasing of worktops, cabinets and splashbacks, sink disinfection, and cleaning of appliances such as the hob, oven, microwave and fridge, plus kitchen floors.
Bathroom deep cleaning
Shower and bath scrubbing, toilet sanitising, sinks, mirrors and glass, with limescale and grout removal and disinfection of high-touch surfaces.
Bedrooms
Detailed dusting, vacuuming or mopping of floors, skirting boards and ceiling fans, and wiping of every surface you use daily.
Living areas and hallways
Furniture, floors, light fixtures, door handles and switches, and the corners and edges that routine cleaning skips.
Limescale and grout removal
White, chalky buildup on taps, shower glass, tiles and grout lines is treated properly rather than wiped over, as far as the condition allows.
Steam cleaning and disinfection
Steam helps loosen grease and grime, and disinfection of high-touch surfaces leaves the home fresher and more hygienic.
Windows, upholstery, carpets and mattresses are separate services, and we can add them to your quote: see window cleaning in Malta and sofa and upholstery cleaning.

When should you book a deep clean?
Most people book one at a natural turning point. These are the most common reasons in Malta:
Moving in or out
Hand back keys at the end of a tenancy, or move into a place that has had previous occupants. See move-out cleaning.
A first or overdue clean
If it has been a long time since the whole home had proper attention, a deep clean resets it.
Spring or pre-summer clean
Many households clean thoroughly before the summer, when windows and balcony doors are open and guests visit.
After the summer season
Holiday-let hosts and busy households often book a reset after months of heavy use. See Airbnb cleaning for turnovers.
Before guests or an event
Preparing for family, guests or a celebration is easier when kitchen and bathrooms are properly clean.
After building work
Dust, cement and paint need a specialist approach: see post-construction cleaning.
Why homes in Malta need deep cleaning
Malta's climate and landscape leave marks that regular cleaning struggles to remove. Knowing what you are dealing with helps you decide when to book.
Hard water and limescale
The Water Services Corporation explains that Malta naturally has harder water because of its limestone. It builds up on taps, shower screens, tiles and grout, and over time a quick wipe stops working.
Dust, sand and construction dust
Saharan dust reaches the islands regularly, as GuideMeMalta reported in February 2026, and ongoing building adds fine dust. It collects on high surfaces, sills and fans.
Heat, sun and open windows
Visit Malta notes long, hot, dry summers. With windows and doors open for much of the year, dust and salt air find their way into every room.
Grease in busy kitchens
Cooking at home, often in compact kitchens, leaves a film of grease on cabinets, extractors and hobs that ordinary cleaning products do not lift.
Damp in winter
Winters can bring damp, and poorly ventilated bathrooms and wardrobes can develop condensation and dark marks. Ventilate after showers, and tell us which rooms concern you.
Rental turnover
Malta has many rentals and short lets. Tenants, landlords and agents often book a deep clean between occupants to get the property ready.

Deep cleaning for apartments, villas, offices and rentals
Apartments and penthouses
In Sliema, St Julian's, Gzira, Msida and Valletta, many homes are apartments. We plan around lifts, access and parking, so tell us the floor and any building arrangements.
Houses, maisonettes and villas
Bigger homes in Mosta, Naxxar, Attard, San Gwann and St Paul's Bay need a team and more time. Tell us the size, and we will confirm a fixed price.
Rental properties
Landlords and tenants can book a deep clean between occupants. Pair it with move-out cleaning where needed.
Offices and shops
Offices and commercial spaces can also be deep cleaned. See office cleaning and commercial cleaning.
Before and after your deep clean
How to prepare
- Clear personal items, papers and valuables from worktops and floors.
- Point out fragile items or surfaces that need special care.
- Tell us how we will get in, and any building or parking details.
- Ask for windows, upholstery or carpets if you want them quoted too.
Keeping it clean afterwards
- Squeegee or wipe shower glass after use, to slow down limescale.
- Ventilate the bathroom and wipe condensation in damp weather.

- Book a regular home clean to keep the result.

Frequently asked questions: deep cleaning in Malta
What is included in professional deep cleaning?
Our deep clean is a top-to-bottom clean of the whole property: kitchen appliances and degreasing, limescale and grout removal in bathrooms and kitchens, steam cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces, plus detailed dusting and floor cleaning in every room. Windows, upholstery, carpets and mattresses are separate services that we can add to your quote.
How much does deep cleaning cost in Malta?
Deep cleaning in Malta starts from €4.00 per sqm + VAT. For example, a 100 sqm apartment starts from €400 + VAT. The price is fixed after a free photo or video assessment, and products and equipment are included. See our cleaning prices for all services.
Why is deep cleaning priced per square metre?
A deep clean is a one-off, team-based job whose workload depends mainly on the size of the property, so pricing per sqm is the fairest and clearest way to quote it. The assessment then confirms a fixed price that accounts for condition, so there are no surprises on the day.
How long does a deep clean take?
It depends on the size and condition of the property and on how many people are on the team. A small, well-kept apartment is much quicker than a large home with built-up limescale and grease. We give you an estimate when we confirm your fixed price.
What is the difference between regular cleaning and deep cleaning?
Regular cleaning keeps a clean home clean: surfaces, floors, kitchen and bathrooms on a schedule. Deep cleaning is a thorough, one-off reset that reaches what routine visits miss, such as appliances, grease, limescale and grout, with steam cleaning and disinfection. If your home is already well kept, you probably need our home cleaning instead.
Can you remove limescale and grout stains?
Yes, limescale and grout removal are part of our deep clean. The Water Services Corporation explains that Malta naturally has harder water, so limescale builds up on taps, shower glass and tiles. Results depend on how long it has built up, and we will tell you honestly what is achievable when we assess your photos.
Do you use steam and disinfection?
Yes. Steam cleaning and disinfection are included in our deep cleaning, together with a team, products and equipment.
Are your cleaning products safe for families and pets?
Our products are eco and pet-friendly, and we bring all products and equipment. If anyone at home has allergies or sensitivities, tell us when you book.
Do you offer move-out and move-in deep cleaning?
Yes. A deep clean is a popular choice before handing back keys at the end of a tenancy, or before moving into a new home. See our move-out cleaning page for details.
Can you deep clean after renovation or building work?
Cement, paint and heavy dust need a specialised approach. For that, see our post-construction cleaning, priced from €5.00 per sqm + VAT with a fixed price after a site assessment.
Do I need to be at home during the deep clean?
Not necessarily. Tell us how you would like to arrange access when you book, and we will confirm what works. It helps to clear personal items from worktops and floors beforehand.
Can you do a deep clean at short notice?
Availability depends on our schedule. Call +356 99771639 or message us on WhatsApp, and we will tell you the earliest date we can offer.
Are your cleaners insured?
Yes, Sparkly Malta is fully insured.
