    Six months in to this pandemic and I'm still nonplussed by the phrase "deep cleaning" Is there really any difference from regular old "cleaning"?

        Have you ever watched those videos of how precarious staff are forced to clean hotel rooms to make targets?

        I guess that's a good point, although I'd be a bit worried if the same was true for hospital wards that regularly close for deep cleaning these days

        Are you saying: If they weren’t scrubbing inside the little crevices before, were they really cleaning?

        For schools and the like, I expect it’s what probably should happen regularly, ie wiping down surfaces, but doesn’t.

        I assume they wipe every surface with disinfectant, instead of just cleaning horizontal surfaces, some just by dusting. Includes cleaning employee's chairs, keyboards and mice, and phones (if provided)

        In at least one job I would regularly clean my cleaned desk after coming home too many times with ruined shirt cuffs

        In my hospital all it means is the floors are constantly wet.pic.twitter.com/PtsVKMnQIX

        At the hospital I work at regular cleaning seems to mean ‘a lick and a promise’ . Perhaps deep cleaning is proper cleaning the old fashioned way 🤷🏻‍♀️

        As long as I'm engaged in profound existential thought while doing it. Then it's deep cleaning.

        Are we pretending not to be as smart as the Golgafrinchams?
