What is Regular Home Cleaning?
Regular home cleaning involves routine maintenance cleaning to keep your home clean and tidy. Unlike deep cleaning, regular cleaning focuses on surface cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, and maintaining general cleanliness.
Cleaning Frequency Options
Weekly Cleaning
Ideal for busy households, families with children, or properties that see high traffic. Weekly cleaning helps maintain consistent cleanliness and prevents buildup.
Fortnightly Cleaning
A popular choice for many UK households. Fortnightly cleaning provides a good balance between cost and cleanliness, suitable for most standard homes.
Monthly Cleaning
Suitable for smaller properties, single occupants, or those who maintain basic cleanliness themselves. Monthly cleaning provides a thorough refresh.
