Why Your House Isn’t Actually Clean (And How a Deep Clean Fixes It)
Most homeowners think a "clean house" means the counters are wiped and the rooms smell like lemons. But if you look closer at your baseboards, your grout lines, and the haze on your windows, you’ll realize that standard cleaning lacks the tools and chemistry to bring real lasting relief.
A professional Deep Clean isn't a luxury; it’s a technical reset of your home’s hygiene. At Fresh Start, we don’t just "tidy up." We use physics and chemistry to remove the microscopic buildup that standard vacuums and grocery-store sprays leave behind.
1. The Physics: True HEPA Filtration
Standard vacuums are often "dust cannons." They suck up large debris but blow microscopic allergens and fine dust right back out the exhaust and into the air you breathe. Depending on the size of the particles they can just be irritating to the upper respiratory, or lead to severe health problems down the line.
Our deep cleaning process relies on S-Class HEPA filtration.
The Science: We use hospital-grade vacuums that capture 99.9% of particulates down to 0.3 microns (including mold spores, pet dander, and fine dust).
The Result: We aren’t just cleaning your floors; we are scrubbing your indoor air. No, that's not some ai slop misusing words. We use literal air scrubbers. This physically removes the triggers for allergies and respiratory issues rather than just masking them with artificial scents.
2. The Chemistry: Neutralizing the Contaminant
You cannot clean a bathroom in Howell or Brighton with a generic "all-purpose" spray. Our local water is too hard, and body oils are too stubborn for watered-down chemicals.
The Myth: "Just use baking soda and vinegar."
The Reality: Vinegar is an acid. Baking soda is a base. When you mix them, they neutralize each other into salty water. They don't clean; they just fizz. The fizz is CO2, and you're actually making salt and water - this has zero cleaning power.
The Fresh Start Way: We use professional-grade High-pH alkaline foams to neutralize acidic grime and body oils. For the white haze on your shower glass, we use chelating agents to unbind the calcium minerals from the surface so they wash away cleanly, and mechanical means to get rid of build-up. Sometimes the soap scum and hard water has been ignored for too long and has permanently damaged surfaces.
3. Asset Protection: Saving Your Surfaces
Dirt isn’t just an eyesore; it’s abrasive. Think of fine dust as microscopic sandpaper. Every time you walk across a floor or wipe a counter that hasn't been properly deep-cleaned, you are grinding that grit into the finish.
A thorough deep clean removes this abrasive layer entirely. This is Asset Protection. By removing the "sandpaper" from your hardwood, stone, and tile, we extend the lifespan of your home's most expensive surfaces.
4. The Kitchen: Molecular Degreasing
Kitchen grease is a magnet for dust and bacteria. Most store-bought cleaners just smear that grease into a thinner, stickier layer.
We use advanced surfactants (like Advantage 20x) that act as molecular magnets. One end of the surfactant molecule grabs the water, while the other grabs the grease. It lifts the oil off the surface so it can be wiped away completely. Your cabinets won't just look better; they will actually be free of the oily film that standard cleaning leaves behind.
Stop "Cleaning" and Start Resetting
A professional deep clean is the baseline every home in Livingston County needs to stay healthy and maintained. Whether you are moving into a new place in Brighton, prepping a home in Howell for sale, or just need to hit the "reset button" on your living space, we have the chemistry to get it done right.
