You vacuum, wipe down counters, and light a candle to freshen the air — but what if your home still feels off? Sometimes, the most harmful issues aren’t the ones you can see. From invisible allergens to stale air and hidden mold, your home may be affecting your health more than you realize.

Many of our clients across Lithia, Riverview, and surrounding areas come to us after dealing with things like frequent sneezing, itchy eyes, dry coughs, or headaches they can’t quite explain. And more often than not, the culprit is buried in the dust, buildup, or neglected corners of the home.

So what are the signs that your home might need a serious deep clean?

• Persistent dust, even right after cleaning – This can indicate buildup in vents, on baseboards, behind furniture, or in light fixtures that aren’t reached during routine cleans.

• Musty or stale odors – Mold and mildew thrive in damp or low-circulation areas like bathrooms, basements, and behind appliances. These smells can signal unseen trouble.

• Allergy flare-ups or respiratory discomfort – Pet dander, pollen, and dust mites can settle into rugs, upholstery, and curtains. Without a deep clean, they accumulate and trigger symptoms.

• Sticky, grimy surfaces that never feel truly clean – Over time, oils, soap scum, and residue bond to surfaces. Normal products don’t cut it — you need commercial-grade techniques.

• Visible buildup around air vents or ceiling fans – These are major sources of air circulation. If they’re dirty, you’re literally breathing in what’s stuck to them.

At Custom Cleanups, our deep cleaning services go far beyond your average tidy-up. We get under, behind, around, and inside — tackling everything from cabinet fronts and baseboards to door frames, vents, and high-touch areas. Our team uses high-quality, eco-conscious products that are safe for families and pets but strong enough to combat grime and allergens.

We recommend a deep clean at least once or twice a year, especially if you have pets, seasonal allergies, or just want to reset your home environment. And if you’ve never had one done professionally? Now is a great time to start.

Let us help you breathe easier. We serve homeowners in Lithia, Riverview, Valrico, and other parts of the Tampa Bay area with detail-oriented cleaning you can feel — not just see.
