Every Burnaby home has them — spots that get skipped week after week, quietly accumulating grime until they become genuinely nasty. Our house cleaning Burnaby team has cleaned thousands of homes across the city, and we see the same overlooked areas every time. Here are the top 10 dirtiest spots in any Burnaby home — and exactly how Spruce Cleaning’s deep cleaning Burnaby service tackles each one.
1. The Range Hood and Filter
Grease vapour rises and condenses on range hood filters constantly. In most Burnaby homes, the filter is never cleaned between professional house cleaning Burnaby visits — creating a fire hazard. Our deep cleaning Burnaby kitchen service soaks filters in degreaser and scrubs the hood interior completely.
2. Inside the Oven
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): nfpa.org — cooking fire safety — cooking equipment is the leading cause of home fires. We clean inside the oven, racks, glass door, and bottom element area on every deep cleaning Burnaby visit.
3. Shower and Tile Grout
Burnaby’s mineral-rich water deposits leave grout darkened and porous over time. Our deep cleaning Burnaby bathroom service uses targeted grout cleaners and stiff brushes to remove mould, mildew, and mineral staining from all tile joints — something standard house cleaning Burnaby doesn’t cover.
4. The Toilet Base and Behind the Tank
The gap between the toilet and floor, and the wall behind the tank, accumulates bacteria-laden dust. Every Spruce home cleaning Burnaby visit covers this area as standard — it’s a basic expectation of any quality cleaning service in Burnaby.
5. Light Switches and Door Handles
NSF International research: nsf.org — germiest places in the home — light switches and door handles are among the most germ-contaminated surfaces in any home. Disinfecting all high-touch surfaces is standard on every Spruce house cleaning Burnaby service visit.
6. Under and Behind the Fridge
Dust, spilled food, and debris accumulate under and behind the refrigerator — never touched between professional deep cleaning Burnaby visits. We pull the fridge out and clean underneath on every deep cleaning Burnaby service.
7. Baseboards and Door Frames
Flat horizontal surfaces at floor level collect dust, pet hair, and scuffs constantly. Cleaning all baseboards and door frames is standard on every Spruce house cleaning Burnaby visit — part of what makes us the best cleaning service Burnaby homeowners recommend.
8. Window Tracks and Sills
Burnaby’s wet climate means window tracks fill with moisture, mould, and grime. We clean window sills and tracks on every deep cleaning Burnaby service using stiff-bristle detail brushes — something most cleaning services Burnaby providers skip.
9. The Inside of the Microwave
Splattered food bakes onto microwave walls at high heat. Our home cleaning Burnaby service uses steam or citrus-based cleaners to lift and remove microwave buildup safely on every kitchen deep cleaning Burnaby visit.
10. The Bathroom Extractor Fan
Bathroom extractor fans pull in damp, dusty air and become coated with grey lint. A clogged fan contributes to mould growth — a real concern in Burnaby’s humid Pacific Northwest climate. Cleaning extractor fan covers is included in every Spruce deep cleaning Burnaby bathroom service.
