How Often Should You Get Your House Cleaned?
A simple guide based on your household, your pets, and your budget.
Most Greater Boston households do best on a bi-weekly cleaning, but the right frequency depends on your home, your pets, and your budget. Here is how to choose.
Your options
- One-time or deep clean for a reset, a move, or a seasonal refresh.
- Weekly for busy homes with pets or kids.
- Bi-weekly for a consistently clean home at a lower cost.
- Monthly for light upkeep in smaller or lower-traffic homes.
What affects how often you need it
Pets and kids create more mess, so those homes lean weekly. Larger homes, allergies, and frequent hosting also push toward more visits. Budget is the other factor, and recurring plans make higher frequency more affordable.
Why bi-weekly is the most popular
Bi-weekly keeps a home consistently clean without the cost of weekly, and it fits most families. Weekly suits busy homes with pets; monthly suits smaller or lower-traffic homes.
Recurring plans cost less
Recurring visits are discounted on every visit: weekly saves 20%, bi-weekly 15%, and monthly 10%. See the plans page and our cost guide.
