There's no universal answer, but there is a sensible rule of thumb. Here's how to figure out your home's cadence.
The honest answer is: it depends on your household. But after thousands of cleans, here's the cadence we recommend.
The baseline rule
If you have a weekly or biweekly recurring clean, you only need a deep clean once or twice a year — typically a spring reset and a pre-holiday refresh in November. The recurring visits keep buildup from happening in the first place.
When to deep clean more often
- Pets that shed: every 3 months.
- Kids under 5: every 3 months.
- Allergies or asthma in the household: every 2–3 months.
- No recurring service: every 2 months.
- High-traffic Airbnb or short-term rental: monthly.
Seasonal triggers
We see deep-clean demand spike at three points each year in the Delaware Valley: late March (spring cleaning), late August (back-to-school), and early November (pre-holiday). Book at least two weeks ahead for those windows.
