2 Green Chicks How Often Should You Have Your Home Cleaned

Life is chaotic.  We agree, no matter if you have a large family or a quiet house, lots of pets or just a mouse, things can get crazy every now and again. Having your home cleaned slow you down from doing what’s important.

 

We get this question all the time: “How often should I have a cleaning company come to my home?”

 

The best answer: “As often as you need.”

 

Let’s break down a few variables, and when we’re done, maybe you can decide on how frequently to have your home cleaned.

 

How many visitors come to your home each week?

Do you love entertaining guests at your home? If you’re a social butterfly hosting big dinners and regular parties, you might need our help a bit more frequently.

 

Cooking meals and treats of all sorts can take up a lot of your day, and you still want to impress your guests with a spotless home. Don’t skimp on the details because you are too busy. Weekly cleaning will make sure your kitchen is spotless. It also helps to regularly clean your high traffic areas like the living room and any other meeting spaces.

 

Also, consider the occasional deep clean. A clean refrigerator means odd smells stay off your food.  A scrubbed oven means baked goods are pure and pristine.

 

How big is your family?

Fixing meals, soccer practice and boy scouts leaves you little time at home to do all the cleaning.  When you do have a moment to yourself, do you want to spend it scrubbing toilets or would you rather take a quiet moment in that book you have meant to finish?

 

A weekly clean is best for tackling the mountain of dishes, vacuuming up this week’s pet hair and inevitable food crumbs and preventing the bathroom from turning into something from a horror film. Someone coming in weekly and cleaning the hard to clean areas will open up your time to spend with your family.

 

Maybe it’s just you or maybe all the hustle and bustle ended years ago after your kids went off to college and started families of their own. It’s possible a monthly clean would be enough to manage the clutter and keep things spick and span.

 

Do you take in all the homeless pets?

Is it raining cat and dog hair in your home? Good for you for providing them a safe place to play and feel loved. Some dogs will shed tons of hair especially in the Spring, and if you find yourself pulling the hair off every fabric surface in your home, then a cleaning service might help you stay on top of the chores.

 

A weekly clean of your home may be what it takes to get hair and dirt out of your floors. Plus, the additional dust that is dragged around by pets can get lodged into odd spaces that you may not think to clean all that often. Taking care of your pets is a lot easier when you have someone helping you take care of your home.

 

If you only have one pet (or none), then a biweekly cleaning might be sufficient to keep the dust and dirt at bay. Pending all the other variables of course.

 

Is your home calm and quiet?

If you’re not caring for a large family full of kids running down the halls, and you don’t have a dozen cats, then you might find biweekly cleaning is exactly what you need. A home can be a place of seclusion and recovery. However, it’s hard to find a peaceful spot in a messy space.

 

Maybe you hate doing the laundry or vacuuming and dusting just isn’t on your todo list. These chores are fine to tackle once a month or so, and we can help.

 

Keeping clean floors and organized closets is a breeze if you don’t have to worry about it yourself. Hiring someone else to take care of the small things leaves you to focus on what matters in your life.

 

Do you travel often?

Maybe you and your spouse are traveling the country in an RV now that the kids are grown, just like you’ve always dreamed of doing. Or maybe you’re just a busy professional who’s gone on businesses trips more often than your home.

 

Either way, if no one is in the house on a regular basis, then cleaning weekly might not make sense.

 

Getting someone to come every other week to clean your surfaces and floors will let you come back to a spotless home.

 

Finally, you can kick back and relax after a long work week and not have to worry about dragging out a vacuum. You’re working hard and having fun, so there is no reason to let household chores clog up your time.

 

Are you managing a tight budget?

Hey, we get it, we all have budgets to stick to, but that doesn’t mean housekeeping is a luxury you can’t afford.

 

Perhaps you are saving for a new vehicle or putting money back for that dream vacation. These are great goals, but we have a secret.

 

Hiring someone to come clean your home every other week is a lot more affordable than you may think. How much is your time worth? Now, ask yourself, what do you hate spending your time on? You might find it’s more valuable to outsource some of your chores, so you can invest that precious resource on better (or more profitable) tasks.

 

It’s time to consider all the variables.

Answer the following questions to help you determine the best cleaning frequency for your home.

  1. Do you host a lot of parties? Yes or no?
  2. Do you have a big family? Yes or no?
  3. Do you have three or more pets? Yes or no?

 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should consider the benefits of weekly service

  1. Is your home calm and quiet most of the time? Yes or no?
  2. Do you find yourself away from home more often than you’re at home? Yes or no?
  3. Does your budget only have room for biweekly cleaning? Yes or no?

 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might consider the benefits of a bi-weekly or monthly cleaning service.
