How Often Should My House Be Cleaned?
Research has shown that most people find themselves happier, more relaxed and balanced when they are living and working in a clean space. For time-constrained home owners, hiring a professional home cleaning service is the best solution to keeping their homes looking beautiful and clean everyday. This of course does not mean that you need to have the cleaning lady come in every day. How often you choose to have your home cleaned, whether monthly, twice monthly, weekly or twice a week is a personal decision, and depends on a number of variables as well as your desired outcome.

Factors That Impact How Often Your Home Should Be Cleaned
Here are six factors that impact the frequency of cleaning for your home:
A clean and organized space improves productivity and focus as well as creates something called 'topophilia' or 'love of space'. If you are not sure how often you want your home cleaned, don’t hesitate to call us and we can discuss the various options. After all, our goal is to help take a little stress out of your life.
- Pets: If you have pets that shed frequently or bring in dust, dirt and/or dander from outside, you will need to clean areas that your pets frequently more often.
- Children: If you have children under 10, we recommend that you disinfect the areas that they touch frequently to keep bacteria and viruses down.
- Guests: How often do you welcome guests to your home? Are you an Airbnb host? If you have guests over often, you'll probably end up cleaning up behind them. Many Airbnb hosts also get their houses cleaned before their guests arrive to ensure they get a 5-star rating.
- Allergies: People who have allergies will need to clean more frequently in the winter because their windows remain shut most of the time--trapping in dust and dander.
- Lifestyle: Is your week filled with personal and work commitments that you don’t even have time to tidy up around the house? The busier you are, the more you may enjoy the benefits of having your house cleaned on a more frequent basis.
- Desired Outcome: Can you deal with a little mess and disorganization in your home, or do want a clean and organized space to come home to everyday. For some people, bringing in a professional cleaning service once a month to give them temporary relief from the daily cleaning grind is all they need. But for others, especially those who work from home or simply want to come home at the end of the day and enjoy their space, getting a twice-weekly cleaning service will keep their homes consistently clean on a day-to-day basis.
