How often should you have your house professionally cleaned?
A practical way to choose weekly, fortnightly or occasional cleaning based on the household and priorities.

Weekly cleaning
A weekly visit can suit busy households, homes with young children or pets, and customers who want bathrooms, kitchens and floors kept consistently under control. Shorter regular visits are often easier to plan than infrequent recovery cleans.
Fortnightly cleaning
Fortnightly cleaning is a common balance for smaller or lower-traffic homes where occupants handle light tidying between visits. Agree a priority list so essential rooms are completed first if the booked time is limited.
Occasional and deep cleans
A one-off deep clean can help before guests, after building work or when regular maintenance has fallen behind. It normally needs a different brief and more time than a standard recurring clean. State the property size, condition and any extras such as the oven, carpets or internal windows when requesting a quote.
