Real photos from our work in Copenhagen homes — deep cleaning and window cleaning. Many surfaces, appliances and windows can be cleaned instead of replaced — this is what a thorough clean actually does.

Oven

Baked-on food and grease removed, surfaces polished. Ovens that look ready for replacement often look brand new again after a thorough deep clean.

Oven — door and inner glass

Oven door after deep cleaning — inner glass clear and clean — After

It's especially the inside of the oven door — the glass and the area behind it — that collects baked-on grease and food residue over time. We clean it and polish the glass back to clear.

Oven — heavy baked-on grease

Oven interior with thick baked-on grease on the bottom, sides and door glass before deep cleaning — Before

Oven after deep cleaning — bottom and sides polished, door glass clear — After

One of the more extreme ovens we've seen: thick baked-on grease on the bottom, sides and inner door glass. After a thorough clean the surfaces are polished and the glass is clear again.

Stovetop and gas burners

Gas stovetop with greasy grates and burnt-on food before cleaning — Before

Gas stovetop after cleaning — grates clean and stainless steel polished — After

Gas burners and grates cleared of baked-on grease and food residue. The stainless steel is polished back to shine, and the splashback is wiped down at the same time.

White enamel gas hob — burnt-on grease

White enamel gas hob after cleaning — surface clean and white again — After

Yellow burnt-on rings around the gas burners are hard to shift with regular dish soap. After a thorough clean the enamel is bright white again, and the grout in the tile splashback gets wiped at the same time.

Range hood — grease filter

The grease filter in a range hood collects cooking fat over time and gets sticky. After a thorough degrease the metal mesh is clean again and the air flows freely through it.

Kitchen sink

Food residue and fingerprints removed, and the stainless steel polished back to shine. The strainer cleaned out so water runs clean again.

Double kitchen sink — full clear-out

Cluttered double kitchen sink with food residue, dishes and grime before cleaning — Before

Double kitchen sink after thorough cleaning — stainless steel clean and polished — After

A heavier deep clean: food residue and dishes cleared from both bowls, water spots and grime scrubbed away, stainless steel polished. Surrounding counter wiped down too.

Black composite kitchen sink — descaling and polishing

Black composite kitchen sink with food residue and limescale streaks before cleaning — Before

Black composite kitchen sink after cleaning — surface deep black, chrome tap reflected in it — After

Black composite sinks look great when clean — but limescale and fingerprints show up much more than on stainless steel. After cleaning the surface is deep black again and the chrome of the tap is mirrored in it.

Vanity sink — limescale and discolouration

White ceramic vanity sink with rust marks around the drain and green discolouration in the corner before cleaning — Before

Vanity sink after cleaning — ceramic clean white and chrome polished — After

Rust marks around the drain and greenish discolouration in the corner — typical of a sink that hasn't had a deep clean in a while. After treatment the ceramic is bright white again and the chrome is polished.

Toilet — limescale in the bowl

Toilet bowl with a clear orange-brown limescale streak from the rim down to the water trap before descaling — Before

Toilet after descaling — porcelain clean and white on terrazzo floor — After

Limescale from hard water can build up over time as a clear streak from the rim down into the bowl. With specific descalers we bring the porcelain back to clean without scratching the surface.

Shower — limescale on glass

Shower glass with heavy limescale buildup before descaling — Before

Shower glass after descaling — clear and streak-free — After

Heavy limescale removed from the shower door without scratches. The glass is clear again and natural light can reach the bathroom.

Shower floor — limescale and grout

Shower floor with hard-water mineral residue on tiles and grout before cleaning — Before

Shower floor after cleaning — tiles and grout free of limescale — After

Hard-water mineral residue removed from tiles and grout around the shower. The grout lines look almost new afterwards.

Brass faucet — polishing

Brass faucet with limescale, water spots and oxidation before polishing — Before

Brass faucet after polishing — deep, warm shine restored — After

Brass behaves differently from chrome and stainless steel — it oxidizes over time and collects limescale and fingerprints. We polish brass with specific products that lift the buildup without wearing down the finish. The deep, warm shine comes back.

Mosaic floor — utility room and drain

Mosaic floor with limescale, grime and discoloured grout before cleaning — Before

Mosaic floor after cleaning — tiles, grout and drain scrubbed clean — After

Mosaic tiles in a small utility/bathroom — limescale and grime removed, grout scrubbed back, and the metal floor drain (the bit most people skip) cleaned out properly.

Mosaic floor by the shower — detail clean

Mosaic floor by the shower with sand and dust before cleaning — Before

Mosaic floor by the shower after cleaning — tiles dry and clean — After

Detail of a mosaic floor by the shower: sand, dust and limescale removed, and the grout lines between every small tile scrubbed individually.

Windows — glass and frame cleaning

Dirty window with smudges and water spots, sunlight scattering as lens flare before cleaning — Before

Window after cleaning — clear glass, sharp view of the neighbouring building and balconies — After

Dirt on the glass scattered the sunlight and blurred the view — after cleaning, the glass is clear and the neighbouring building and balcony details are sharp again. We clean both inside and out, and wipe down frames and sills at the same time.

Windows — heavy film on glass

Window with heavy, hazy film of mineral residue and dirt making the view nearly opaque — Before

Window after cleaning — clear glass, sharp view of red-brick building, trees and street — After

An example of what glass can collect over time: an even, hazy film that makes the view nearly opaque. After cleaning, the glass is clear again, and the neighbouring building, trees and street are sharp. We clean both inside and out and wipe down frames and sills at the same time.

Wood-burning stove — ash and soot

Wood-burning stove with heavy ash piles and soot on the glass doors before cleaning — Before

Wood-burning stove after cleaning — white render polished, glass clear, slate hearth tiles polished at the base — After

Wood-burning stoves often get neglected between heating seasons — ash, soot on the glass, grease on the surround. After a thorough clean the inside is clean, the glass is clear again, and the slate hearth tiles are polished.

Move-in clean — from chaos to ready

Empty apartment with boxes, packaging and cardboard scattered on the wood floor after builders — Before

Same room after move-in cleaning — wood floor scrubbed, window clear, ready to move in — After

This is often what a move-in clean looks like before we start: boxes, cardboard and builders' leftovers. Afterwards the floor is scrubbed, the windows polished, and the apartment is ready to move into.
