How Often Should I Get a Deep Cleaning?

How Often You Need Deep Cleaning Services Depends on Your Situation

At Dallas Sunrise Maids, “deep cleaning” is just our typical approach, whether you’re a customer who’s signed up for our recurring cleaning service or a first-timer who’s never had their home professionally cleaned.

That said, we’re often asked by less-frequent customers how often they should schedule deep cleaning services. Is this something that should be scheduled every few months, once a year, or more frequently than that?

As the leader in Plano house cleaning services, our experts have a few tips for determining how often you should schedule a deep cleaning in your home. There are several factors that will play a role, and we’re taking a look at each in today’s post. Let’s get started!

Family Size

As anyone with kids can tell you, it’s truly mind-boggling how much of a mess they can make—and how quickly. Folks living in homes with large families should consider more frequent deep cleanings, both because messes will build up more quickly and because there are simply more people whose health you need to worry about.

For those with smaller families, you should also consider how high-traffic your home is. For example, you may live alone or as a couple—but if you’re regularly hosting large gatherings, more frequent deep cleaning services will be needed.

Pets or Pet-Free? a furry black cat that may require a home to get more frequent deep cleaning services

Even if you live alone or as a couple with no children yet, pets can be similarly messy and destructive. Virtually all cats and dogs will shed in some capacity, filling your home with potential allergens and causing hair to build up—well, everywhere. Other issues such as food crumbs and water spills, cat litter on the floor, and buildup of pet odors can be addressed with a thorough cleaning.

Allergies

Dust, pet hair, and many other types of collected dirt and debris can be a major concern for anyone—but especially if there are allergies in play. Those with asthma or who are allergic to common allergens such as dust will benefit greatly from more frequent cleanings. Regular deep cleaning services can improve the air quality in your home by removing many common allergens, preventing them from being kicked up into the air and breathed in. 

Whether you have significant allergies or not, you’ll breathe easier in a clean home.

Personal Tolerance

Of course, there’s another reason to schedule deep cleaning services: the pleasure of a clean home, especially compared to the frustration of seeing a mess everywhere you go.

Different people have different levels of tolerance for dust, dirt, and floors that are less than sparkly. If you’re someone who doesn’t mind seeing a bit of dust every now and then, then maybe you won’t need to worry about scheduling a deep cleaning too frequently. 

But if you can’t stand looking at messes throughout your home, and you simply don’t have the time to clean it all yourself, that’s your sign that it’s time to schedule a deep cleaning.

Another Consideration: Cost Savings

While we’ve been discussing deep cleaning services throughout this blog post, we’d also like to bring in another factor: potential cost savings. 

You see, here at Dallas Sunrise Maids our recurring house cleaning services are highly detailed and match the standards that many other companies would consider “deep cleaning.” What falls under our deep cleaning services is simply anything more than 5 weeks from the last clean.

Signing up for regular cleanings, on the other hand, is more affordable on a per-cleaning basis than individual deep cleanings. So if you’re someone who may need a deep cleaning every month to month and a half or so, you could actually save significantly on house cleaning costs by signing up for our monthly service.

In the end, how often you need cleaning services—whether deep cleanings or recurring house cleanings—will depend on your individual situation. If you live alone in a small space with no pets, you have few or no allergies, and you can tolerate a little bit of dust, you may not need deep cleanings all that frequently. However, those with children or pets, large homes, severe allergies, or just a lower tolerance for seeing dust and dirt should consider recurring cleaning services.

At Dallas Sunrise Maids, our recurring services can be tailored to your needs, from monthly to weekly frequencies. As a family-owned company, we’re dedicated to delivering superior quality that will make you smile as soon as you walk in the door. Reach out today to request a free estimate!
