Weekly, Bi-weekly, or Monthly Cleaning
Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cleaning? How often do you think you need professional cleaning performed? House cleaning is unlike a commercial cleaning which would rely on certifications and procedures to keep a clean standard. When viewing the descriptions of home cleaning services in your area, its quite important to know the frequency of how often you will need these services. Actually you can easily determine the answer once you examine your habits and basic cleaning needs.
Generally speaking, if you find yourself cleaning living spaces and restrooms quite often, and are usually consistent in your maintenance habits, then a monthly cleaning is probably best for you.
On the other hand, if you hate domestic duties (there’s nothing wrong with that!), prefer not to perform any household tasks, and probably either have a busy lifestyle or a lot of traffic in common areas of your home, then you should probably consider booking a weekly service.
As a third choice if you should fall somewhere in the middle of the previous two examples, its more than likely best for you to book bi-weekly cleaning (every two weeks). Learn more about our residential cleaning services.
Some benefits to having consistency in janitorial services rather than one-time are:
- Reduces the likelihood of the spread of germs (sanitization services)
- Prices from cleaning business can be lower depending on the frequency of service
- Decreases the frequency of necessary (and more costly) deep cleanings
- Provides a more consistently clean environment
