ABHC Cleaning Services is a licensed, bonded, and insured house cleaning company, family-owned and locally operated in Wake County & the Triangle Area, NC since 2014, with trained full-time employees instead of gig workers.

Deep house cleaning by ABHC Cleaning Services, serving the Triangle Area & Wake County, NC.
A deep house cleaning is a comprehensive, top-to-bottom clean that reaches what a standard visit doesn't: scrubbed tile and grout, detailed baseboards, ceiling fans, lampshades, polished furniture, stairs, and every reachable surface. It's the reset that brings a home back to a high baseline, and it's usually where new clients start. Here's the difference it makes.
A deep clean goes beyond routine maintenance: ceiling fan blades, lampshades, detailed and polished furniture, scrubbed tub and shower tiles, stairs, and closet floors, on top of the full whole-home clean. It's the reset that brings a home back to a high baseline.
A standard or recurring clean maintains surfaces that are already clean. A deep clean does the heavy work a standard clean skips, so it takes longer and costs more per visit. Most clients book a deep clean first, then keep it up with recurring cleaning at a lower rate.
A deep clean makes sense whenever a home needs more than routine upkeep. These are the moments Triangle homeowners book one.
If your home hasn't been professionally cleaned in a while, a deep clean resets it to a high baseline. Most new clients start here before moving to a recurring plan.
A top-to-bottom clean after pollen season, before the holidays, or any time buildup has crept back. A once or twice a year reset for homes kept up in between.
Before or after a move, ahead of a party or guests, after a renovation, or when the house has simply gotten away from you. A deep clean gets it guest-ready.
A deep clean follows our signature 56-point checklist across the whole home, plus the detailed extras a routine clean skips, room by room. Nothing rotated, no corners cut.
Add-ons available on request (just ask for a price): inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, inside cabinets, and balconies. For safety, our team doesn't climb higher than a two-step ladder; higher spots are dusted with an extension duster.
After more than 12 years cleaning Triangle homes, our deep cleaning is built on two simple commitments, in Andreia's own words.
A clean you can count on.
The difference comes down to who walks into your home. ABHC Cleaning Services is a licensed house cleaning company staffed by trained, background-checked employees, not anonymous gig workers or independent cleaners hired through an app. When you book a deep clean with us, you get a trained, dedicated team that treats your home like it's our own, on time and done right.
Our cleaners are full-time employees we train, vet, and stand behind, not anonymous workers pulled from an app.
One price based on your home's size, quoted upfront. No clock-watching, no surprise fees, no lock-in contracts.
Locally owned and operated in the Triangle for 12 years, with a 56-point checklist and a 4.9-star reputation to protect.
In the Triangle, a professional deep cleaning typically ranges from about $250 to $450 for a 2-3 bedroom home, depending on size, number of bathrooms, and how long it's been since the last clean. A deep clean runs roughly 1.5 to 2 times a standard clean, because it does the heavy work routine cleaning skips. New clients get $20 off their first cleaning.
| Home size | Typical NC deep clean range |
|---|---|
| 1-bedroom / apartment | $175 – $300 |
| 2–3 bedroom house | $250 – $450 |
| 4+ bedroom / large home (2,500+ sq ft) | $400 – $700+ |
Note: homes with heavy buildup, pets, or that haven't been cleaned in over a year may be quoted higher. Add-ons like inside the oven, inside the fridge, and interior windows are priced separately.
Be cautious with rates that look too good to be true. The lowest prices tend to come from independent, gig-based cleaners who often aren't licensed, bonded, or insured, work with no satisfaction guarantee, and follow no consistent method or checklist. If something gets damaged, or the clean falls short, there's little protecting you.
ABHC's flat rate includes what actually protects you: licensed, bonded, and insured full-time employees, our 56-point checklist on every visit, and a satisfaction guarantee. It's the difference between the lowest price and the best value.
ABHC Cleaning Services uses flat-rate pricing based on your home's bedrooms and bathrooms, never an hourly clock. Because no two homes are in the same condition, your deep clean quote is personalized to your space and its needs. You'll know your full price upfront, with no hidden fees. The best way to get your exact rate is a free, no-obligation estimate.
Homes across the Research Triangle share a few local realities that make a periodic deep clean especially worth it, from the region's climate to its housing stock.
The Triangle's tree canopy, part of why Raleigh is called the "City of Oaks," coats homes in yellow-green pollen every spring. A seasonal deep clean clears allergens off floors, sills, and surfaces after the worst of it.
Long, humid summers invite dust, mold, and mildew in kitchens and bathrooms. A consistent schedule stays ahead of buildup that one-off cleans let creep back.
With Duke, UNC, NC State, RTP, and RDU nearby, many Triangle homes belong to dual-career tech, healthcare, and university professionals who would rather spend weekends living than cleaning.

"Their team of two did an incredible job deep cleaning our 3700 sqft home. Pricing was reasonable, especially for the amount of detail they put into each space. Wonderful reset that will help us keep everything looking great going forward. Will most definitely use this service again. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!"
"I absolutely loved the service! It was the first cleaning in my new home, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The stove looks amazing, it was really dirty, and now it's shining like new! The floors are spotless, and the bathroom and bedrooms were cleaned perfectly. Everything feels so fresh, organized, and welcoming. The communication was excellent, and the team was kind, efficient, and professional. I highly recommend them!"

It depends on your home's size and condition. A 1-bedroom typically takes a few hours, while a larger 3-bedroom home can take most of a day. We send a dedicated professional by default, with a second team member when the home or scope calls for it, and we give you an estimated time window when you book.
A standard or recurring clean maintains surfaces that are already clean. A deep clean does the heavy work a standard clean skips, inside and out, so it takes longer and costs more. Most clients book a deep clean first, then keep it up with recurring cleaning at a lower per-visit rate.
No. Many clients give us secure entry instructions so we can clean while they're out. Our cleaners are background-checked, full-time employees, and we're licensed, bonded, and insured. If you'd rather be home, that's perfectly fine too.
