Deep Cleaning vs Regular Cleaning in Pattaya: Which Do You Need? (2026)
The short answer: a regular clean keeps a home that is already clean in good shape, while a deep clean removes the built-up grime in places a regular clean skips, such as inside cupboards, behind appliances, grout, fans and window tracks. Most Pattaya homes need a deep clean once to reset, then regular cleans to keep it that way. With Siam Shine, deep cleaning starts at ฿2,200, regular condo cleaning starts at ฿850 a visit and regular house cleaning starts at ฿1,250 a visit.
What a regular clean covers
A regular clean is maintenance. It is the same checklist every visit, so dust, sand and kitchen mess never get the chance to build up. A Siam Shine regular clean includes:
- Dusting of reachable surfaces, shelves and skirting
- Kitchen counters, hob, sink and the outside of appliances
- Bathrooms: toilet, shower, basin, mirrors and tiles
- Vacuuming and mopping all hard floors
- Beds made and linen changed (your linen)
- Rubbish taken out and bins relined
What a deep clean adds
A deep clean is a top-to-bottom reset. It covers everything in a regular clean and goes into the places that collect grime over months:
- Inside cupboards and drawers (emptied)
- Behind and under movable furniture and appliances
- Grout and tile scrub in kitchens and bathrooms
- Ceiling fans, light fittings and vents
- Door frames, switches and skirting
- Window tracks and sliding door rails
Deep clean vs regular clean at a glance
- Purpose: a regular clean maintains, a deep clean restores.
- How often: regular cleans are usually weekly or every two weeks; a deep clean is usually once or twice a year, or when you move in or start a new schedule.
- Time: a regular clean is quicker because it follows a set routine. A deep clean of a 2-bedroom condo usually takes one team most of a day.
- Price with Siam Shine: regular condo cleaning from ฿850 a visit, regular house cleaning from ฿1,250 a visit, deep cleaning from ฿2,200.
When to book a deep clean in Pattaya
- Before starting a regular schedule. A deep clean first means each regular visit keeps the home clean instead of catching up.
- After the rainy season. Pattaya's humidity brings mould spots to grout, sealant and walls. See our guide to stopping mould in a Pattaya condo.
- When a condo has been empty for months. Dust settles on every surface and drains and fridges can smell.
- Before guests or family arrive for a long stay.
- When you can see build-up in grout, on fan blades, in window tracks or behind the fridge.
When a regular clean is enough
If your home was deep cleaned recently and is cleaned every week or two, a regular clean is usually all you need. Weekly suits families, pets and homes near the beach, where sand and salt air build up fast. Every two weeks suits smaller households in condos away from the beach.
Moving in or out?
If the property is empty because you are moving, book a move-in or move-out clean instead. It is built around a typical landlord inspection and includes inside the fridge and freezer and a full kitchen degrease. Read more about getting your deposit back with a move-out clean.
Add-ons that pair well with a deep clean
Some jobs need specialist equipment and are priced separately: aircon cleaning starts at ฿900 per unit, sofa and mattress cleaning starts at ฿1,200 per item, carpet and rug cleaning starts at ฿350 per square metre and window cleaning starts at ฿1,000.
What it costs in Pattaya
