How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Home?

Most Lexington homes do well with a deep clean once or twice a year, with a standard clean every two weeks in between. Book a deep clean before a move, after a big event, after an illness, or at the change of seasons.

The general rule

A standard clean keeps a home that is already in good shape that way. A deep clean resets it. For most households, the right rhythm is a deep clean once or twice a year, with a standard clean every week or two in between. That keeps the heavy build-up from ever getting ahead of you.

When to schedule a deep clean

There are a few moments where a deep clean earns its cost on the spot. Moving in or out, before hosting for the holidays, after an illness runs through the house, and at the change of seasons in spring and fall.

  • Before you move in or out
  • After a big event or the holidays
  • After an illness in the household
  • Spring and fall, as a seasonal reset

Homes that need it more often

Pets, kids, and allergies all move the needle. Homes with shedding pets, young kids, or anyone with dust or pollen sensitivities tend to benefit from a deep clean every three to four months rather than once or twice a year.

What a deep clean actually covers

A deep clean adds the things weekly upkeep skips: inside the oven and fridge, inside cabinets and drawers, baseboards and trim, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and behind the appliances. It is the reset pass that gets everything back to baseline.

Common questions.

Is a deep clean worth it before a move?

Yes. A move-out deep clean is the single most common way to protect a security deposit, and a move-in clean makes a new place feel yours before the boxes arrive.

How long does a deep clean take?

Most homes take three to six hours depending on size and condition. The price is fixed upfront no matter how long it takes.

Should I book a deep clean first?

If you have never had a professional clean, yes. Start with a deep clean, then move to a standard clean every week or two.

Can I schedule a recurring deep clean?

Yes. Many customers book a deep clean on a set seasonal cadence, and we schedule it the same way as any recurring service.
