How Often Should You Schedule a Deep Cleaning for Your Home?

Deep Cleaning

Although a quick pass with the vacuum or a routine dusting will keep your home looking fresh, clean, and inviting, hidden grime and hard-to-reach areas need to be addressed on a regular basis. Why? Allergens, bacteria, and mold can build up right under your nose, potentially impacting the health and safety of your family and guests. Overlooked dirt and filth can also eat through paint and finishes, affecting the lifespan of your furniture and surfaces. Thankfully, deep cleaning can prevent these issues before they even start. 

Deep cleaning requires careful attention to detail, something your busy lifestyle may not allow you to make time for. That’s where our experts come in. At Maid Brigade, we encourage you to plan deep cleaning services as often as your home needs them. For a consistently clean home, be sure to schedule regular cleanings in between. We understand that every home and family is unique, which is why this blog is dedicated to helping you determine just how often your house needs a more thorough cleaning and what you can expect from this kind of service. 

Deep Cleaning Checklist 

Maid Brigade’s deep cleaning house service varies by location, but the following is a list of example tasks that may be performed during a routine deep cleaning. 

  • All Rooms: A deep clean begins with standard cleaning tasks like dusting, removing cobwebs, vacuuming, mopping, wiping surfaces, and general tidying from room to room. Our experts then go the extra mile to wipe down woodwork and windows, spot clean walls, and vacuum furniture. Area rugs and light, movable furniture will be cleaned as well. 
  • Bathrooms: Cleaning and disinfecting toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, counters, faucets, mirrors, floors, and cabinet fronts will make your bathroom look shiny and brand new, but that’s just a standard cleaning. Deep cleaning will include spot cleaning walls, vacuuming non-floor surfaces, and tackling the grime under bath rugs, cabinets, consoles, etc. 
  • Kitchen: Tackling your kitchen’s surfaces is standard, but a more meticulous approach will require spot cleaning and disinfecting everything from cabinet handles to walls to that forgotten spot underneath your island’s area rug. Starting with your sinks, faucets, and countertops, our experts move to your exterior appliances, like stovetops and drip pans, for a true top-to-bottom cleaning. 

Does your home need a service that you don’t see in our deep cleaning checklist? No worries! We can work with you to choose a speciality cleaning that makes sense for you. 

Find the Deep Cleaning House Service Schedule that Works for You

Are you ready for a deep cleaning house service? Here are some lifestyle factors that may contribute to unseen grime, stubborn stains, and musty, unpleasant odors:

  • Large household size
  • Frequently open doors and/or windows
  • Children
  • Pets
  • Allergies and health sensitivities
  • Frequent visitors
  • Entertaining large gatherings 

The first cleaning is only the beginning. This is how you can assess whether you need a deep cleaning on a monthly, quarterly, seasonal, or annual basis:

Monthly 

If you have pets or a highly active family, monthly deep cleaning will prevent grime and dust from collecting and keep your floors and baseboards squeaky clean. You’ll also enjoy better air quality as dust and allergens are removed from carpets, upholstery, and curtains. Even with this frequency of service, your home can still benefit from weekly or biweekly maintenance cleanings. Don’t forget that regular cleanings can help reduce stress and anxiety as they create a sense of calm in both your mind and your living space.  

Quarterly

Maybe your home doesn’t accumulate dirt and grime so quickly. In this case, a deep cleaning every three to four months will likely be enough to keep crevices, corners, and regular-use surfaces sanitary and tidy. Additionally, you lower your risk of pest infestations. 

Seasonal

Depending on where your home is located, different seasons may present different cleaning challenges. For instance, if you live in the southern U.S., the transition from winter to spring may inspire a deep cleaning if pollen and pollen-related allergies are a concern for your family. In areas where colder weather is common in the winter months, a seasonal service can help address the salt and chemicals that get tracked in with the snow. 

What about the holidays? A deep cleaning ahead of family visits and celebrations can help keep your kitchen and guest rooms spotless. We also recommend scheduling a deep cleaning if you’re bringing a new baby home. A happy home is a healthy home, especially for your latest family member. 

Annual 

Every home can benefit from an annual deep cleaning. This type of service will address everything from your windows to your carpets to ensure that no surface is left unscrubbed. Looking forward to this service on a yearly basis may be beneficial to your productivity and peace of mind, too, as you can rest assured that your home will be well looked after.
