It is one of the most common questions people ask before booking a deep clean. Not just how much it costs, but how long the whole thing actually takes.
Because unlike a regular tidy, a deep clean is a real commitment. You need the flat to be empty or at least out of the way, and you want to know whether you are looking at a couple of hours or an entire day.
The honest answer is that a 2 bedroom flat in Edinburgh typically takes between three and five hours to deep clean properly.
What actually affects how long it takes
Current condition
A flat that has been maintained reasonably well throughout a tenancy takes considerably less time than one where the oven has not been cleaned in eighteen months and the bathroom grout has darkened significantly.
Add-ons included
Oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, and inside window cleaning each add time to the overall job but make a visible difference to the finished result.
Flat layout
Some Edinburgh 2 bedroom flats are compact conversions with small kitchens and bathrooms. Others are spacious period tenements with large rooms, high ceilings, and more surface area throughout.
