What's the difference between a regular clean and a deep clean?

A regular clean maintains a tidy home — it covers everyday surfaces, floors, and fixtures. A deep clean goes much further: behind appliances, inside windows, skirting boards, limescale removal, and a thorough bathroom and kitchen scrub. Most clients start with a deep clean and then move to regular maintenance.

How often should I book a regular clean?

That depends on your household. Families with children or pets often prefer weekly visits. Couples or single occupants typically find fortnightly or monthly works well. We're flexible and will work around whatever suits you best.

Does your end of tenancy clean guarantee my deposit back?

We are confident in our standards and clean to a professional level that satisfies landlord and letting agent expectations across Ayrshire and South Glasgow. If your landlord raises a cleaning issue after our visit, we will return and re-clean the relevant areas free of charge.

Do you bring your own equipment and products?

Yes — we bring everything. All our products are eco-friendly and safe for children and pets. You don't need to provide anything.

Are your staff vetted and insured?

Absolutely. All Couthy Clean staff are PVG checked and we carry full Public and Employers' Liability insurance. You can open your door with complete confidence.

Do you serve areas outside Ayrshire?

Yes. We also cover East Renfrewshire (Newton Mearns, Giffnock, Clarkston) and South Glasgow (Busby, Eaglesham and surrounding areas). Not sure if we cover your postcode? Just get in touch and we'll let you know.

Do you offer move in and move out cleaning?

Yes. Our end of tenancy cleaning service covers both move out cleans for tenants and move in cleans for those starting fresh in a new property. We clean everything top to bottom including oven, fridge, inside cabinets and walls.

Weekly Cleaning Schedule: Room-by-Room Routine That Works

October 8, 2026

Most cleaning schedules fail for one simple reason: they cram everything into one day, it takes hours, and after the third weekend in a row you give up. A schedule that actually sticks spreads tasks across the week in short, manageable sessions — this one is built around realistic time estimates, not an idealised version of a Saturday morning.

The Weekly Layout

Day	Room/Focus	Time Estimate
Monday	Kitchen	20–30 min
Tuesday	Bathroom(s)	15–25 min
Wednesday	Bedrooms	20–30 min
Thursday	Living areas	20–30 min
Friday	Floors throughout (vacuum/mop)	25–40 min
Saturday	Laundry + catch-up tasks	Varies
Sunday	Quick reset (10-min tidy)	10–15 min

Total weekly time: roughly 2–3 hours, spread across seven days rather than concentrated into one exhausting session.

Monday: Kitchen

Wipe down worktops, hob and splashback
Clean sink and taps
Wipe cupboard fronts and handles
Quick mop of the floor

Tuesday: Bathroom(s)

Clean and disinfect toilet, sink and shower/bath
Wipe mirrors and surfaces
Mop floor
Replace hand towels

Wednesday: Bedrooms

Change bedsheets (weekly or fortnightly, your preference)
Dust surfaces and skirting boards
Vacuum floors
Quick tidy of clothes/clutter

Thursday: Living Areas

Dust shelves, surfaces and electronics
Plump cushions, fold throws
Vacuum sofa and floor
Wipe down coffee table and TV screen

Friday: Floors Throughout

Vacuum all carpeted areas
Mop all hard flooring
This is the day to move light furniture and get into corners other days skip

Saturday: Laundry and Catch-Up

Wash, dry and fold laundry
Use remaining time for anything missed earlier in the week, or a task from your monthly list (windows, appliance interiors)

Sunday: Quick Reset

A final 10–15 minute tidy — dishes away, surfaces clear, cushions straight — so Monday starts from a clean baseline rather than a backlog.

Customising the Template

This layout works well for most households, but feel free to swap days around your actual schedule — the principle that matters is one focused room per day, not which day you assign to which room. If Fridays are always chaotic, move the floors task to a quieter day instead.

For larger households or homes with pets, you may want to add a second floors day midweek, since pet hair and foot traffic build up faster than the standard schedule accounts for.

FAQ

What if I don’t have time for a task on its assigned day? Push it to the next day rather than trying to double up — a missed Tuesday bathroom clean is easily absorbed into Wednesday without derailing the whole week.

Do I need to do a deep clean as well as this schedule? Yes, periodically. This schedule maintains a clean home day-to-day but won’t reach appliance interiors, grout, or behind furniture — that’s what a deep clean every few months is for.

Is this schedule suitable for a house with kids or pets? The structure works well, but you’ll likely need to shorten the gaps between floor-cleaning days, since both add mess faster than the standard weekly cadence assumes.

How do I stay consistent with this longer-term? Most people find a fixed time of day (e.g., after breakfast, or during a favourite podcast) makes the routine automatic rather than something to remember.
