House cleaning is a chore that a lot of people dislike. It can be time-consuming, the effects of it can very quickly be ruined and it is generally tiring. This is why home cleaning is one of the most outsourced jobs in the US today.
And it makes sense – professional maids who know what they are doing are going to do a better job at cleaning your home, and chances are, they will do it much faster. The only thing left to do is determine how often you need to clean your home. We had experts from MaidThis Denver chime in with their opinion.
Weekly Service Is for Particular Clients
Most cleaning services will offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly cleaning options for recurring cleaning. And that kind of makes sense, too. Depending on your needs, you can choose the frequency of service and keep your home in good order.
That being said, weekly service is generally reserved for people who fit into a few distinct categories. First, there are people with allergies, like dust mite allergy. These people generally can’t have too much time elapse between dustings, or their allergies go wild.
Similarly, there are families with multiple young children, where kids tend to generate quite a lot of mess, while also requiring a healthy and clean environment. And finally, there are simply people who want to have their house sparkling clean at all times.
Bi-Weekly Is Much More Attainable
For most people, bi-weekly cleaning service seems to fit in the goldilocks zone – it’s not too often that the cost becomes an issue, and it’s not too rarely, so that the house gets really dirty and it starts causing issues.
Dust, which is the most common issue people pay attention to when cleaning their home, doesn’t really accumulate all that much in the space of a single week. On the other hand, after two weeks, there is a noticeable amount of dust that should really be taken care off.
You Can Help Between Bi-Weekly Cleanings
Chances are that, even if you hate cleaning, you still do some of it on your own. No matter if it’s as simple as wiping down the kitchen counters – there’s always something to clean. With bi-weekly cleaning, you have the luxury of minimizing the need for your involvement.
Still, here’s how you can help keep your home in good shape between cleanings. Sweep or vacuum the floors in the areas that are highly trafficked. Think, your entryway, the living room, and especially your kitchen – especially if something is spilled. Wipe down your kitchen appliances and surfaces – it will help food residue not stick and harden between bigger cleanings.
Monthly Cleaning Service
There are people who are able to make monthly cleaning service work for them, but for most people, this is not an ideal option – especially if you don’t like cleaning things yourself. This cleaning plan is generally reserved for people who are able and willing to put in some work themselves.
Generally, these people are able to do simple maintenance cleaning tasks every week, and then leave the big ticket items to a professional cleaner once a month. Keep in mind that this plan generally means that you will have to clean your toilet yourself, at least once a month (in addition to the cleaning your maid will do).
Trying to figure out the best cleaning plan that fits your needs best doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply give each of them a try, and see which one suits you the best, both in terms of the cost and the level of service you get.
