Biweekly suits most homes and is what most of our customers choose. Weekly suits households with young children, shedding pets, or several people home all day. Monthly suits households that keep on top of daily tidying and want the deeper maintenance handled. The deciding question is not budget or house size, it is how the home feels at day ten.
Weekly
Best for: young children, shedding pets, working from home, cooking properly most nights, light coloured carpet. What changes: nothing ever reaches the buildup stage, so each individual visit is faster and more thorough than a biweekly visit on the same home. Soap film does not set, the kitchen floor never develops a film, and the bathrooms hold rather than swinging good to bad on a cycle. The honest downside is that plenty of homes simply do not need it.
What you are buying is not a clean house on a particular afternoon. It is never having to think about whether the house is clean.
Biweekly
Best for: most people. Two weeks is roughly how long a reasonably tidy home holds before the kitchen and bathrooms start asking. Frequent enough that nothing sets, spaced enough that it is not constantly in your calendar. What you are buying at this frequency is not a clean house on a particular afternoon, it is never having to think about whether the house is clean.
Monthly
Best for: couples without pets, empty nesters, anyone who wipes as they go. Visits weight more heavily toward kitchen and bathrooms because four weeks is long enough for those two rooms to need recovering. Watch for the point where each visit starts taking noticeably longer than the last, which is the signal it is time to move up.
How to decide in one question
How does the house feel on day ten? Struggling means weekly. Fine at day fourteen every time means monthly is probably enough. Fine at ten and sliding by fourteen means biweekly, which is where most people land.
