Deep Cleaning Wellington
The reset your home has been waiting for.
A Wellington year leaves its mark, salt on the glass, damp in the grout, dust where the light doesn't reach. One visit brings every surface back to bright.

If it's inside the U, it meets our standard.
The U isn't just our logo. It's the line every Spruce clean has to clear before we'll call it done. On a Wellington deep clean, that means a detailed, top-to-bottom finish against a defined checklist, applied the same way by trained teams, whether it's a hillside villa or a newer build on the flat.
Detail-grade, not surface-level. A deep clean reaches the build-up most cleans skip: the grout, the tops of cupboards, the cornices and skirting, the corners, not just what a quick tidy catches.
The same checklist, every clean. No guesswork. Our teams follow the same room-by-room deep-clean checklist, so the result never depends on who turns up.
We bring the gear & products. Commercial-grade equipment and the right product for every surface arrive with the team, so you don't supply or prep a thing.
Trusted by homeowners, renters and property managers across Wellington, from one-off seasonal resets to post-renovation deep cleans.
What's included in a Wellington deep clean.
A deep clean, also called a spring clean, goes top to bottom and reaches what a regular clean can't: the built-up grout and mould that Wellington's damp bathrooms breed, the detailed trim on an older villa, the high cornices and deep skirting. Full checklist below. Here's the headline.
Spring clean? Same deep clean, better timing.
In Wellington the timing matters. A long, damp winter with the windows shut leaves mould creeping into bathroom grout and window frames, and dust settling into the corners you've stopped noticing. A spring clean is just a deep clean with a season attached: a reset after a damp winter, a clear-out before the cold sets in, or the post-reno clean once the dust finally settles. We bring the gear and the checklist, do it in one go, and you walk back into a place that feels like someone's finally opened the windows.
Wellington deep cleaning prices.
Deep cleaning is priced by the number of bedrooms, so you know it up front. Worth knowing for Wellington's older housing: a first deep clean on a villa or character cottage that hasn't had one in years often sits a tier higher, simply because there's more built-up grime to shift. Add-ons like oven, carpet and windows are priced separately.
All prices exclude GST.
A proper deep clean is worth it, and easier to fit in the budget. Choose Afterpay at checkout and split your Wellington deep clean into four interest-free payments, available on bookings up to $2,000.
No paperwork. No interest. No big hit to the budget in one go.
Add-ons for your deep clean.
The add-ons Wellington customers reach for most, with interior windows and grout work near the top of the list once a damp winter has done its work. Tick them at booking and we'll handle the lot in the same visit: one team, one invoice, no chasing separate contractors.

How our Wellington deep clean works.
Four stages, same order, every time. The same trained team works your home top to bottom, dry tasks before wet, room by room against the full deep-clean checklist, then a final walk-through so nothing's missed.
A fixed price in a minute, online or onsite.
Most people get a fixed deep-clean price straight away online. For bigger or more unusual jobs we'll sort an onsite quote first, and either way the number's locked in before the day.
- Pop in your details and a bit about your home, and your price shows in seconds.
- One of our trained deep-cleaning teams is assigned and confirmed for your booking.
- Anything beyond the standard clean, like full wall washing, gets flagged so you can add it before the day.
- For unusual jobs or homes not listed online, email or call us and we'll quote it onsite.
The work that happens before the scrubbing.
Pre-treatment lets the right products soak in and lift the grime while the team gets on with the dry jobs nearby. It's the difference between lifting build-up and battling it.
- Stained toilet bowls treated with a specialist cleaner so it can work while we move on.
- Tile and grout in the bathroom or kitchen pre-treated wherever it needs it.
- Booked the oven? It's sprayed early so the chemistry can break down the baked-on stuff.
- While all that's working, the team starts the dry clean up high and works down.
Top to bottom. Same order, every job.
Cleaning from the ceiling down is simply the smartest way through a home: gravity helps, and nothing clean gets dirtied again on the way. Every step's on the checklist.
- Cobwebs cleared from ceilings, corners and the eaves outside.
- Ceiling fans, air vents and light fittings dusted and wiped.
- Back to the pre-treated spots to check the products have done their job.
- Kitchen: tops of the cabinets first, then the splashback and benchtops degreased, then the lower cabinet fronts.
- Windows, frames and blinds (if booked) done while the ladders are already out.
- Walls spot-cleaned, and light switches, intercoms, power points and aircon units wiped.
- Doors and door frames wiped on both sides.
- Wardrobe doors, mirrors and door tracks cleaned.
- Bathrooms: tiles and grout, mirrors and vanities, with soap scum and hard-water marks cut back, then toilets, showers and baths scrubbed.
- Skirting boards wiped right through the home.
- Laundry and any built-in appliances (like the dryer) cleaned.
- Every floor vacuumed into the corners, and hard floors mopped by hand.
- Carpet steam clean (if booked) goes last, so no one walks across freshly cleaned carpet.
A final walk-through. Nothing missed, nothing hidden.
Before we close the door, the team walks the home against the full checklist. Anything we can't fully restore is photographed and reported, so there are no surprises.
- The whole checklist walked again, room by room, against what was booked.
- Any missed spots sorted before the team heads off.
- Anything that can't be fully brought back, like damaged grout or permanent stains, is photographed and flagged to you.
- Jobs that need specialist gear are booked ahead: house washing, pro carpet cleaning, exterior windows, deep grout work.
- Not completely happy? Tell us within 48 hours and we come back and put it right, at no extra charge.
Deep cleaning across Wellington.
A deep clean earns its keep in Wellington, where the damp, the southerly and a housing stock full of older villas leave their mark faster than most cities. Our trained local teams run the same detail-grade reset from the waterfront apartments to the top of the hill suburbs, up the steep drives and staircases, whatever the corner of the city and whatever the house.
Wellington packs a lot of very different homes into a small footprint: character villas on the hills, tight CBD apartments and settled family suburbs out through the valleys. Here's how the deep clean lands across a few of the areas we work most.
Areas we clean across Wellington
Kelburn, Thorndon & Mt Victoria
These are the classic Wellington character streets: kauri villas and townhouses stacked up the slopes, full of the detail a deep clean is built for. Timber cornices, ceiling roses, deep skirting and old tiled bathrooms all quietly hold years of grime, and the damp keeps the grout dark. A first proper reset here makes a visible difference, and steep steps and narrow entries are just part of the day for our team.
Te Aro & the waterfront
The apartments through Te Aro and along the waterfront are tighter spaces where the build-up hides rather than spreads: extractor fans, window tracks, shower grout and the tops of built-in joinery. Windows that stay shut against the southerly trap humidity, so bathrooms and frames need a proper going-over. The same top-to-bottom checklist applies, just worked around the smaller footprint.
Karori & Khandallah
Karori and Khandallah are settled family suburbs of larger weatherboard and brick homes, the kind of places that live big and take a bit of keeping on top of. Between the school runs, the sport and rooms that don't get used every day, a seasonal deep clean is the practical way to reset the whole house at once. The extra floor space and the odd steep drive just mean a bit more time on the job.
Newtown & Island Bay
Newtown flats and Island Bay bungalows sit right in the path of the damp and the salt off the south coast, so mould around bathroom tiles and window frames is one of the most common things we're asked to tackle here. We clear the surface mould, cut back the soap scum and hard-water marks, and bring the grout back as far as a clean can take it, then flag honestly if the cause needs sorting too.
Johnsonville & the northern suburbs
Out through Johnsonville and the northern suburbs you find a good mix of established family homes and newer builds up the valley. Here the job is less about decades of build-up and more about keeping a busy family home genuinely detail-clean: corners, cornices, skirting and the spots a weekly tidy never reaches. The checklist is the same one we work everywhere, off-street parking or not.
