If you’re thinking about hiring a cleaning company like Justlife, one of the first questions you’ll have is:
“How often should I get my house cleaned?”
The short answer? It depends — on your home’s size, your lifestyle, your cleaning needs, and your budget. The good news is that professional cleaning schedules can be tailored to fit any household.
Below, we’ll walk through the key factors to consider and give you practical examples to help you decide whether weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or occasional cleaning is right for you.
The size of your home directly affects both how long cleaning takes and how often it should be done.
-Small space example: A single-bedroom city apartment can usually be cleaned in 1–2 hours. With a tidy occupant, a fortnightly or monthly professional clean may be enough.
-Large home example: A 4–5 bedroom house, especially one with multiple bathrooms and outdoor areas, may need weekly cleaning to keep up with dust, dirt, and daily mess.
-Older properties: Homes with features like high ceilings, ornate fixtures, wooden floors, or fireplaces often require extra care — such as polishing, specialty dusting, or deep-cleaning.
Tip: Even if you have a smaller home, professional cleaning every 2–3 weeks can help maintain a high standard with minimal effort from you in between.
Your lifestyle plays a big role in how often your home should be cleaned.
-Minimal mess: If you live alone, spend little time at home, and keep things tidy, you might only need professional cleaning once a month for a refresh.
-Family life: Families with children typically need more frequent cleaning — toys, crumbs, sticky fingerprints, and daily activities quickly add up.
-Pet owners: Pets bring joy, but also hair, dander, paw prints, and occasional accidents. Weekly cleaning is often best for households with pets to keep odors and allergens in check.
Example: A couple working long hours with no kids or pets might book a monthly deep clean. A family of five with two dogs may prefer weekly or twice-weekly cleans.
The areas and items you want covered will influence how often cleaning should happen.
Common tasks in most cleaning services include:
-Dusting and wiping surfaces.
-Vacuuming and mopping floors.
-Cleaning kitchens (counters, sinks, stovetops).
-Sanitizing bathrooms and restrooms.
Tasks that may require more frequent attention:
-Skirting boards and baseboards (especially in high-traffic areas).
-Under and behind furniture.
-Splashbacks, wall marks, and light switches.
-Inside microwaves, ovens, or fridges.
-Mirrors and windowsills.
Tip: If you have high standards for certain areas — for example, keeping a spotless kitchen for cooking — you might schedule targeted cleaning for those areas more frequently than the rest of your home.
Your budget will also guide how often you hire professional cleaners.
-Many people see professional cleaning as an investment in free time — time they can spend with family, friends, or on hobbies.
-For busy professionals, the value of freeing up hours each week can far outweigh the cleaning fee.
-The key is to choose a frequency that gives you the comfort and cleanliness you want without straining your finances.
Example: You might opt for fortnightly professional cleans and handle light upkeep yourself in between. This balances cost savings with a consistently fresh home.
While the decision is ultimately personal, here are general guidelines based on different living situations:
Household Type | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|
Single occupant, tidy | Every 3–4 weeks |
Busy couple, no kids | Every 2–3 weeks |
Family with children | Weekly |
Pet owners | Weekly or twice-weekly |
Large home (5+ bedrooms) | Weekly + monthly deep clean |

-Decide which rooms or areas get priority.
-Get the same high standard whether you book weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
