Regular upkeep keeps your home looking great—but a deep clean is what restores and renews it. Many homeowners wonder: “How often should I schedule a deep clean?” Here’s a guideline, plus how professional residential cleaning services can keep your home refreshed year-round.
Understanding the Difference: Regular vs. Deep Clean
-
Regular cleaning involves tasks like vacuuming, dusting, wiping surfaces.
-
Deep cleaning digs into corners and hidden spots: under furniture, inside appliances, tile grout, vents, behind ovens, etc. Because of the extra time and effort involved, many homeowners partner with professional cleaning teams.
Recommended Deep Clean Schedule
Although every home is different, here are general recommendations:
-
Every 3-4 months: For average households with moderate usage.
-
Every 1-2 months: For homes with pets, children, high traffic, or allergy concerns.
-
At least once/year: For homes with minimal use, or if you contract a professional service to handle seasonal deep cleaning.
Tailor the schedule based on the condition of your home, habits, and environmental factors.
What a Deep Clean Includes
-
Thorough cleaning of high-dust areas (ceiling corners, beams, light fixtures)
-
Inside/outside of major appliances (oven, refrigerator, dryer)
-
Deep floor cleaning: moving furniture, cleaning under couches, roll-back rugs
-
Sanitising of high-touch surfaces and hidden surfaces (doorknobs, switches, remote controls)
-
Upholstery and carpet “reset” (vacuum, steam-clean, treat stains)
Professional residential cleaning services provide the tools, products, time and expertise to do it correctly.
Creating a Maintenance Plan
After your deep clean, set up a maintenance schedule you can stick to:
-
Weekly: light dusting, vacuuming high-traffic areas
-
Monthly: wipe baseboards, clean inside microwave/fridge
-
Quarterly: evaluate the need for another deep clean
By combining regular upkeep with periodic deep cleans, you’ll maintain a consistently fresh home—not just “clean when guests come”.
