Hiring a house cleaning company is some of the best money you could spend for yourself and your sanity. Many people don't realize how much stress it relieves when you can walk through your apartment focusing on the task at hand instead of feeling guilty about the cleaning you haven't done. If you've had someone come to clean your apartment before, you know it is money well spent. But how often should you schedule cleaning services? Too frequently, you may feel like there isn't enough to do. Too infrequently may leave you stressed between visits, debating whether to clean it yourself or wait until the house cleaner comes to tackle those chores for you. So, what is the sweet spot?
Cleaning Schedule Frequency:
- Weekly—A weekly cleaning schedule can be a good option for people who are very busy and struggle to maintain even simple daily cleaning tasks, have young children, several people living in the home, indoor animals, or severe dust allergies. You may pay less per visit on a weekly cleaning schedule since the house doesn't have as much time to accumulate dust between cleanings.
- Bi-weekly—This is the most common cleaning schedule and works best for most people. It gives just the right amount of time between cleanings to necessitate a paid visit from the cleaning service but not enough time for everything to feel dirty again. Under average conditions, with an average home size and average use, bi-weekly cleanings are the preferred frequency for most people.
- Monthly—Monthly cleanings work well for people who don't spend much time at home or live alone. Homes that are cleaned once a month will take longer, so you can expect to pay more per visit for a monthly cleaning schedule. A once per month visit can feel like a long time to wait for a thorough cleaning so if you choose this frequency, set a reminder halfway through the month for basic cleaning chores. Prevent the dilemma of leaving tasks for the cleaners or having them clean right after you've already done them.
Choosing the right cleaning schedule for your apartment depends on your lifestyle, the size of your space, the number of people living in your home, indoor pets, and your personal preferences. Regardless of the frequency that works best for you, the goal is to find a balance that keeps your home clean and your stress levels low. Remember, investing in a professional cleaning service is investing in yourself and your well-being.
