How Often Should You Schedule House Cleaning?
Quick answer
Most households do well with professional house cleaning every two weeks. Weekly cleaning suits larger households, homes with pets or young children, and anyone who wants the home always ready for guests. Monthly cleaning suits smaller homes and people who keep up with daily tidying themselves.

What changes the answer
Pets
Fur and dander collect on floors and furniture within days. Homes with dogs or cats, especially more than one, usually benefit from weekly cleaning.
Kids
Kitchens, bathrooms and high-touch surfaces get heavy use. Weekly or biweekly visits keep them under control.
Season
In Massachusetts, mud season, winter salt and summer sand all mean more floor cleaning. Some clients move from monthly to biweekly for part of the year.
How much you do yourself
If you wipe the kitchen and bathroom daily, a less frequent professional visit can handle the rest. If you would rather not clean at all between visits, choose a shorter interval.
Start with a reset
If the home has not been professionally cleaned recently, begin with a deep cleaning. Your recurring visits then maintain a clean home instead of catching up.
