Hello everyone! Emily here from Dallas Sunrise Maids. One of the most common questions we get from new clients is, “How often should we schedule cleaning services?”
The answer, like most things, isn’t one-size-fits-all. It depends on your household’s needs and lifestyle. Let's dive into some factors to consider when determining the best cleaning schedule for your home.
House Cleaning Options We Offer
At Dallas Sunrise Maids, we provide weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly cleaning services. While other companies may offer varying schedules such as every three or six weeks, we stick to these three frequencies to ensure optimal quality and consistency.
Determining Cleaning Frequency by Room
Certain parts of your home require more frequent cleaning than others. For instance, high-traffic areas like floors and countertops can accumulate dirt quickly, whereas items like light fixtures and blinds may not need attention as often.
Take ceiling fans, for example. While we include fan cleaning with every visit, you might find that a thorough cleaning every two to four weeks is enough to maintain their appearance—unless you smoke indoors or have pets, which may require more frequent cleaning.
The same principle applies to areas like under and inside furniture. Although we thoroughly clean these spots during each visit, a more frequent self-maintenance routine can improve your home’s air quality.
Room-Specific Recommendations
- Guest Bedrooms: Low-traffic rooms like guest bedrooms may only need professional cleaning once a month. Given the dust levels we see in Plano, we recommend no longer than a month between cleanings for these spaces.
- Other Bedrooms: For occupied bedrooms, we suggest bi-weekly cleaning to keep them in good shape.
Weekly Cleaning
If you have a busy household with kids, pets, or a lot of foot traffic, weekly cleaning is ideal. This schedule helps maintain a pristine environment, especially if anyone in your household has allergies or sensitivities.
Weekly cleaning also keeps issues like hard water stains and soap scum at bay. Typically, these problems don’t have time to build up significantly within a week, so your home stays looking fresh and clean.
Bi-Weekly Cleaning
Bi-weekly cleaning is our most popular option, and for good reason. It strikes a balance between budget and cleanliness, offering a thorough service that addresses ceiling fans, baseboards, and beneath furniture—keeping your home looking its best without the cost of a weekly service.
While bi-weekly visits may not maintain perfect conditions for countertops and showers, it significantly reduces dust and other allergens, improving the overall air quality in your home.
Monthly Cleaning
Monthly cleaning is a cost-effective way to keep your home in good condition without a significant commitment. It’s a great choice if you’re not overly concerned with maintaining a spotless home throughout the month but want it to look fantastic after each service.
This schedule works well for families who travel frequently or for homes with minimal daily use. Keep in mind that with monthly cleanings, you may notice some buildup of dust, hard water stains, or grout discoloration between visits.
Choosing the Right Frequency
Your budget is a key factor, but so is your comfort level with dust and clutter. If you’re not bothered by a little dust between cleanings, monthly service might be perfect. However, if you host gatherings often, have young children, or pets, a more frequent schedule—like weekly or bi-weekly—might better suit your needs.
No matter the frequency you choose, we want to be your preferred house cleaning company in Plano! With us, you’ll enjoy consistent service from the same cleaning team each time, with no long-term contracts required.
