Regular cleaning
Covers what is visible and in daily use: surfaces wiped, floors vacuumed and mopped, bathrooms and kitchen cleaned to a maintenance standard, bins emptied. It keeps a property that is already clean at that level. It is usually hourly and usually weekly.
Deep cleaning
Reaches what routine cleaning never touches: inside appliances, grout descaling, extractor degreasing, window tracks, skirting, high-level surfaces and balcony drains. It resets a property rather than maintaining it, and it is priced per property rather than per hour.
Which one you need
If it has been more than six months, or you have just moved in, or you are moving out, or the property has been through construction work, you want the deep version. For a property already on a weekly schedule, deep cleaning two or three times a year is the usual rhythm.
Why the prices are not comparable
An hourly rate sells time and leaves the risk of overrun with you. A fixed per-property price after an inspection puts that risk on the company. Comparing an hourly figure against a per-property figure is comparing two different products.
A useful test
Ask what happens if the job takes longer than expected. On a fixed quote the answer is 'nothing changes'. On an hourly booking the answer is 'it costs more'. That single question tells you which product you are buying.
