One of the most common questions we get from new clients is how often they should actually book a cleaner. There's no single right answer, but a few factors make the decision clearer.
What weekly cleaning suits
Larger households, homes with young children, multiple pets, or anyone who simply prefers a consistently tidy home benefit most from weekly visits. It also means each individual clean is faster and lighter, since there's less time for mess to accumulate between visits.
What fortnightly cleaning suits
Smaller households, couples or individuals with tidier day-to-day habits, or anyone on a tighter budget often find fortnightly cleaning strikes the right balance. Each visit takes a little longer to cover two weeks of build-up, but it's a genuinely lower ongoing cost.
The cost comparison
Fortnightly cleaning costs less overall per month than weekly, but each individual visit is priced slightly higher than a weekly visit would be, since there's more to cover. It's worth comparing the total monthly cost rather than just the per-visit price when deciding.
Signs you should switch from fortnightly to weekly
If you're noticing the home feels cluttered or dusty again well before your next scheduled clean, particularly in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, that's usually a sign weekly cleaning would suit your household better.
You're not locked in either way
We don't require lock-in contracts, so if your circumstances change, whether that's a new baby, a pet, or just a busier work period, switching between weekly and fortnightly is straightforward and doesn't involve any cancellation fees.
Starting with a trial period
If you're unsure which frequency suits you, starting with one and reassessing after a month is a reasonable approach. Most households have a clear sense within a few visits whether the schedule is keeping up with their home's needs.
