What Is a Sparkle Clean? Everything You Need to Know
5 min read · 10 Ten Cleans Editorial Team
"Sparkle clean" is a term that gets thrown around a lot in the cleaning industry, and it means different things to different companies. Some use it as a fancy name for a regular clean; others use it for a specialist new-build or post-construction service. At 10 Ten Cleans, our Sparkle Clean is our signature residential service — and this is exactly what it includes.
The name
The term comes from the standard the clean aims for: a home that does not just look clean, but sparkles — streak-free glass, polished surfaces, fresh floors, and a noticeable brightness when you walk back in. It is a residential clean done to a professional standard, not a quick once-over.
What is included
Our Sparkle Clean covers every lived-in room in the home:
- Kitchen — worktops, splashback, hob, sink, and the outside of all appliances cleaned and sanitised
- Bathrooms — toilet, basin, bath, shower, tiles, and mirror cleaned and descaled
- Living areas and bedrooms — dusting of all surfaces and skirting boards, vacuuming and mopping of all floors
- Throughout — internal windows, mirrors, light switches, and door handles cleaned, and bins emptied and relined
It is the clean that keeps a home fresh week to week — the service most of our regular customers book on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
What it is not
A Sparkle Clean is not a deep clean. It does not include the inside of the oven, the inside of the fridge, or descaling of the showerhead — those are deep clean tasks. It also is not an end of tenancy clean, which is a far more thorough reset of an empty property. The Sparkle Clean is the maintenance clean: the one that keeps a well-kept home well-kept.
Who it is for
It is for anyone who wants a consistently fresh home without spending their weekend cleaning. If your home is already in reasonable condition and you want to keep it that way, the Sparkle Clean is the right service. If it has been a while, start with a deep clean and then move to a regular Sparkle Clean to maintain the standard.
