How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Home?
Clean homes don’t just look good — they’re healthier. Deep cleaning tackles the dirt and bacteria that regular sweeping and dusting miss. But how often should you do it?
It depends — on your home’s size, how many people live there, and whether you have pets or kids.
-
General Rule: Deep clean at least twice a year (every six months) to maintain a healthy environment.
-
If You Have Pets or Kids: Dirt, hair, spills, and fingerprints add up fast. Aim to deep clean high-traffic areas every 3–4 months.
What to Do Before You Start Deep Cleaning
Preparation makes deep cleaning faster and more effective. Here’s what you should do first:
-
Declutter: Get rid of anything you don’t need. Less clutter = easier cleaning.
-
Gather Supplies: Stock up on all your essentials — cleaners, brushes, cloths, vacuum, mop, etc.
-
Protect Furniture and Appliances: Cover delicate items or move them aside to avoid damage.
-
Make a Plan: List all tasks room-by-room so you don’t miss anything.
-
Minimize Distractions: If possible, arrange for kids and pets to be looked after while you clean.
