Every two weeks suits most households and is the schedule we recommend most often. Choose weekly if you have kids, pets, allergies or a busy, full house. Monthly works for one or two people in a smaller home who keep up with daily tidying. Whatever the schedule, start with a deep clean so regular visits can maintain the home.
How often should you clean your house? There's no one answer for everybody, but there is a right answer for your household. This is how we help our clients pick.
The three common schedules
Five questions to decide
- How many people and pets live there? More people and pets means more traffic, dishes, hair and dirt.
- Does anyone have allergies or asthma? More frequent dusting and vacuuming helps keep dust and pet dander down.
- How much do you tidy between visits? If you keep up with dishes, counters and clutter, you can stretch the schedule.
- How quickly do bathrooms build up? In humid South Florida, showers and grout collect soap scum and mildew fast. See how to prevent mold.
- What's your budget? Per visit, weekly is often a little less than every two weeks because there's less to do. Per month, every two weeks costs less overall.
Start with a reset
Whatever schedule you pick, the first visit is usually a deep clean. It removes existing build-up so your regular visits can keep the home at that level.
What we see in South Florida homes
For most homes we recommend every two weeks. Families with young children or several pets often do better with weekly visits. Seasonal residents usually want a deep clean when they arrive and before they leave, with monthly or occasional cleans while they're here.
Try it and adjust
You're not locked in. Start with what feels right, then tell us after a month or two if you want to adjust. We'll keep your checklist and adapt the schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Is bi-weekly cleaning enough?
For most households, yes. Every two weeks keeps bathrooms, kitchens and floors under control without build-up, and you handle daily tidying in between.
Is weekly cleaning worth it?
For families with young kids, multiple pets, or someone with allergies, weekly cleaning keeps dust, pet hair and bathroom grime from building up, and each visit usually goes a little faster.
Can I switch schedules later?
Yes. Many clients go weekly during busy seasons or when guests are visiting, then back to every two weeks.
What should I do between cleanings?
Daily tidying, dishes, wiping kitchen counters, and a quick squeegee of the shower glass go a long way.
