A deep clean in Jacksonville runs $250–$450 for a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, depending on square footage and condition. It covers the detail work a routine visit skips — baseboards, grout, ceiling fans, inside appliances, vents and light fixtures — then you hold the result with recurring visits.
What a deep clean actually is
A deep clean is a one-time, top-to-bottom reset of your whole home. Where a recurring clean keeps surfaces maintained week to week, a deep clean gets into everything a maintenance visit leaves alone: the film on your baseboards, the dust caked on ceiling-fan blades, the grout lines in the shower, the buildup inside the oven and behind the fridge. It's the clean that makes a house feel new again.
Most Jacksonville homeowners book a deep clean in one of two situations — as the first clean before starting recurring service, or as a spring reset once the oak pollen finally lets up. In both cases the goal is the same: erase the backlog so the ongoing cleans stay quick and affordable.
Why Jacksonville homes need it more often
The 904 climate is hard on interiors. A few things build up faster here than almost anywhere:
- Oak-pollen film — every spring, that yellow-green dust coats windowsills, blinds, baseboards and fan blades, and it settles right back after you wipe.
- Humidity-driven mildew — year-round moisture feeds grout mildew and soap scum in bathrooms, especially in tile showers and around tubs.
- Ceiling-fan and vent dust — with the A/C running most of the year, fans and return vents collect a heavy layer that a regular clean never touches.
- Pet dander and beach sand — dogs, cats and sandy feet from the beaches track fine grit into baseboards, corners and upholstery.
Deep clean vs. recurring clean
The difference is scope, not quality. A deep clean is the heavy first pass; a recurring clean is the maintenance that keeps it. Deep cleans price at $250–$450 because of the detail labor; recurring visits run $120–$200 per visit once the home is already at baseline. If you're relocating rather than resetting, a move-out clean covers empty-home turnover instead.
Homeowners across San Marco and the wider Duval–Clay–St. Johns area book a deep clean first, then settle into a recurring rhythm to protect the investment. You can always compare every service before you decide.

The deep-clean checklist
Every deep clean in the 904 Maids network follows the same detail standard so nothing gets skipped. Pricing and timing scale with home size and condition.
Detail work a regular clean skips
- Baseboards — hand-wiped to remove pollen film, dust and pet hair along every wall.
- Ceiling fans — blades wiped clear of the dust that builds up from year-round A/C use.
- Grout and tile — scrubbed to lift humidity-driven mildew and soap scum in showers and around tubs.
- Inside appliances — inside the oven, inside and behind the fridge, and inside the microwave.
- Vents and returns — surface dust removed from A/C returns and supply registers.
- Light fixtures — wiped down and cleared of dust, bugs and cobwebs.
- Door frames and doors — high-touch edges, frames and switch plates wiped throughout.

How much does a deep clean cost in Jacksonville?
A deep clean in Jacksonville runs $250–$450 for a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. Price moves with square footage and condition — first-time homes, heavy soap scum and long gaps since the last clean sit at the higher end of the range.
What's the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?
A deep clean adds the detail work a recurring visit skips. That means baseboards, ceiling fans, grout scrubbing, inside the oven and fridge, vents, light fixtures and door frames. A recurring clean then maintains that result week to week at $120–$200 per visit.
How long does a deep clean take?
A deep clean of about 2,000 square feet takes a two-person team roughly 4–6 hours. A maintenance clean of the same home runs closer to 2 hours — the detail work like grout and inside-appliance cleaning is what adds the extra time.
Do I need a deep clean before starting recurring service?
Yes — most homes start with one deep clean to reset the baseline, then move to recurring visits to hold it. Recurring cleans are priced for maintenance, so they don't include the heavy first-time detail work.
Are cleaning supplies included?
Yes. The cleaning teams in the 904 Maids network bring their own supplies and equipment. [Tenant-verified] If you prefer specific products for pets, allergies or natural cleaning, let your team know when you book.
