## Overview

Winter home deep cleaning in India costs ₹1,800–₹7,000 in 2026 depending on flat size: ₹1,800–₹3,000 for a 1BHK, ₹2,800–₹4,500 for a 2BHK and ₹4,000–₹7,000 for a 3BHK. Book it in October or first week of November — before Diwali demand doubles rates and slots. A proper winter clean covers ceiling fans and lights (dust that will not settle till summer), curtains and blankets swap, kitchen chimney and cabinet deep clean, and bathroom silicone re-seal.

## Why winter deep cleaning is different from summer

Summer cleaning fights fungal damp from monsoon. Winter cleaning fights dust and closed-air staleness. Windows stay shut, curtains hang longer, and any surface that could not dry properly in monsoon needs a redo.

## 2026 winter cleaning cost by flat size

## The winter cleaning room-by-room checklist

A Solve24 cleaner working from this list covers what actually matters in winter, not just what looks impressive.

- Ceiling fans, chandeliers, lights — dust and cobweb removal.
- Curtains taken down, washed or dry-cleaned, and rehung.
- Kitchen cabinet interiors and chimney deep clean.
- Bathroom silicone, taps, glass — descaling and reseal where needed.
- Sofa vacuum + antifungal (last monsoon residue).
- Wardrobe interiors emptied, wiped, silica gel refresh.
- Fridge back + coil dust removal.
- Windows, sills, tracks cleaned.

## What to do yourself vs what to hire out

A cleaning package saves time but is not the only option. Some jobs are better DIY, some genuinely need the pro.

- DIY: swap out summer curtains for heavier ones, wash and store blankets, refresh wardrobe with silica gel.
- Solve24 cleaner: full flat deep clean, ceiling fan and light dusting, kitchen chimney, sofa cleaning.
- Solve24 plumber: bathroom silicone reseal, geyser service, tap descaling.
- Solve24 electrician: ceiling fan capacitor check, geyser earthing check.
- Solve24 carpenter: any wardrobe door or hinge that jammed during monsoon.

## Booking calendar for October–November

October is the sweet spot — cleaners have full availability and rates are still at winter package levels. From the second week of November through to Diwali, rates rise 15–25% and slots go 2–4 days out.
