How Often Should You Have Your House Professionally Cleaned?

Start with how the home is used

Square footage matters less than occupancy. A large home where two people use four rooms may need less frequent attention than a smaller home where five people, a dog and a home office share the same space all day.

A practical guide to frequency

As a rough starting point:

• Weekly — families with children or pets, homes where people work from home, households with allergies
• Bi-weekly — the most common choice for busy couples and small families who tidy between visits
• Monthly — smaller households, low foot traffic, or where someone keeps on top of kitchens and bathrooms
• Seasonal deep clean — worth adding once or twice a year regardless of your regular frequency

Florida-specific factors

Central Florida humidity affects bathrooms and laundry areas faster than drier climates, and the oak pollen season around Winter Park and Maitland puts a visible film on sills, blinds and fans. Households sensitive to either often move from monthly to bi-weekly, or bi-weekly to weekly, for part of the year.

You can change it

Frequency is not a permanent decision. Many Aurofresh customers start bi-weekly, try weekly during a busy season, and settle wherever the home stays comfortable. Recurring schedules can be adjusted by contacting us.
