What Products to Use to Deep Clean a House?

When it’s time for a deep clean, having the right products and tools is half the battle. Scrubbing blindly without a plan only wastes time (and your back!). Whether you’re spring cleaning, preparing for guests, or reclaiming control after a chaotic season, here’s your essential deep cleaning checklist to make every corner sparkle—efficiently, safely, and thoroughly.

Cleaning Tools You’ll Need:

  • Microfiber cloths (the MVPs of any cleaning kit)

  • Large plastic bucket

  • Duster (extendable = bonus!)

  • Vacuum with crevice and upholstery tools

  • Mop or steam mop

  • Toilet bowl brush

  • Rubber gloves

  • Squeegee (especially for shower glass)

🧼 Cleaning Products That Work:

  • Kitchen Rescue – for grease, food mess, and hard surfaces

  • Bathroom Cleaner – enzyme-powered, for soap scum and grime

  • Odour Remover – for bins, drains, and mystery smells

  • Dish soap – simple and effective for daily build-up

Why Enzyme-Based Products Belong in Every Deep Clean

At The Cleaning Enzymes, we created our range because traditional products left us choosing between “eco” that didn’t work and chemicals that we didn’t want around our families. Enzyme-powered cleaning bridges that gap.

What Makes Enzymes So Effective?

  • They break down grease, soap scum, grime, and organic build-up at the source

  • They’re non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe to use around kids and pets

  • They leave no residue, no synthetic fragrances, and no need for scrubbing your lungs out

Each product in our range is built for real messes in real homes—and backed by biotechnology used in commercial food prep and healthcare settings.

Your Room-by-Room Deep Cleaning Game Plan

Kitchen

  • Spray Kitchen Rescue on benches, cupboard doors, backsplash, and stovetop. Let sit for 3–5 minutes. Wipe with a microfiber.

  • Use it in and around the sink, bin, and fridge handles.

  • Vacuum and mop under appliances (yes, even the fridge!).

  • Deodorise bins and drains with a spritz of Odour Remover.

Bathroom

  • Spray Bathroom Cleaner on the shower, tub, tiles, and toilet base. Let it work while you tackle another area—no need to scrub straight away.

  • Use a squeegee on glass and mirrors for a streak-free finish.

  • Spray Odour Remover around bins and drains (it keeps working as it dries!).

Living Spaces & Bedrooms

  • Dust from top to bottom using a duster and microfiber cloths.

  • Vacuum under beds, couch cushions, and in corners with a crevice tool.

  • Spot clean fingerprints, walls, and handles with Kitchen Rescue (it’s safe for almost everything).

  • Mop with a neutral floor cleaner or steam mop.

FAQ: Deep Cleaning with Enzyme Products

What’s the best product to deep clean a house?
For safe, powerful results, use enzyme-based cleaners like Kitchen Rescue and Bathroom Cleaner—they break down dirt at a molecular level, not just surface-wipe.

Can I use the same cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom?
We recommend different enzyme blends: Kitchen Rescue for food and grease, Bathroom Cleaner for soap scum and mineral deposits. Each is optimized for the job.

Do enzyme cleaners disinfect?
Enzyme cleaners remove the organic matter that bacteria feed on, which helps reduce bacterial growth. For full disinfection, pair with a certified food-safe disinfectant when needed.

Is vinegar or bleach better for deep cleaning?
Bleach disinfects but doesn’t clean; vinegar can damage natural surfaces like stone or grout. Enzymes clean and protect—without the downsides.

Final Word from The Cleaning Enzymes

Deep cleaning doesn’t have to mean harsh fumes or wasted weekends.
With the right tools and a system that works with biology (not against it), you can get a home that looks and feels fresh—without harming your surfaces, your health, or the planet.

🧼 Real clean. Smart science. Welcome to the enzyme-powered way.
