Edinburgh flats often need a deep clean between tenancies, after a busy festival season of short lets or simply once a year to get on top of high shelves, cornicing and tall windows.
Tell us about your flat or house and any problem areas, and Edinburgh cleaning companies can send quotes.
High ceilings, tall windows and common stairs
Georgian and Victorian flats have high ceilings, cornicing, picture rails and tall sash windows that collect dust out of reach of a regular clean. Deep cleaners bring extension tools and ladders for these areas, which adds time compared with a modern flat.
Many flats are several floors up a common stair without a lift, which slows teams carrying vacuums and equipment. Edinburgh's water is soft, so limescale is less of an issue than condensation around windows.

Scotland's cities have a lot of tenement and flatted housing, so cleaning often involves stairs, shared closes and properties without lifts, which can affect how long equipment-heavy jobs take. Water in most of Scotland is soft. Wetter weather in the west makes condensation and mould a regular issue, and Edinburgh and other tourist centres have strong demand for short-let changeover cleaning.

Deep cleaning in Edinburgh: common questions
Does a deep clean include high ceilings and cornicing?
Often, but check. High-level dusting may need ladders or extension tools, and some companies list it separately.
Can a deep clean be done between short let bookings?
Yes, if there's a long enough gap. A deep clean takes much longer than a changeover, so plan for a full day.
