How Often Should You Clean Different Areas of Your Home?

One of the most common questions we get is: how often should I actually clean? The answer depends on the area and how much traffic it gets. Here's a practical guide based on what professional cleaners recommend.

Daily tasks (5-10 minutes): - Make beds - Wipe kitchen counters after use - Wash dishes or load the dishwasher - Squeegee shower glass after use - Quick tidy of living areas

Weekly tasks (1-2 hours): - Vacuum all floors - Mop hard floors - Clean bathrooms (toilet, sink, shower, mirrors) - Dust surfaces and shelves - Change bed linens - Wipe kitchen appliance exteriors

Bi-weekly tasks: - Vacuum upholstered furniture - Clean interior windows - Wipe light switches and door handles - Dust ceiling fans and vents

Monthly tasks: - Deep clean kitchen (oven, fridge, cabinets) - Wash curtains or blinds - Clean behind and under furniture - Descale bathroom fixtures - Vacuum mattresses

Quarterly/seasonal tasks: - Deep clean carpets and rugs - Clean windows inside and out - Sort and declutter closets - Check and clean dryer vents - Professional deep cleaning service
