At MaidPro Eau Claire, our customers have their homes cleaned about 1.7 times per month.


The number of times your home needs to be cleaned depends on a number of things including:

  • Your home's environment

  • Number of people in the home

  • Your lifestyle

  • Your home size

  • Your furry friends

  • You time to clean

Let's dive into a little more detail and figure out the ideal number of times your home should be cleaned.


Your Home's Environment


In Rice Lake, Wisconsin, your home sees all types of weather conditions. Here in Wisconsin we are lucky to see all four seasons. Each season brings its own cleaning challenges.


Spring brings new growth each year, but it also brings muddy conditions, pollen and a lot more.


Summer is wonderful in your part of the state, but bugs often make their way inside.


Fall is amazing in Rice Lake. The trees change colors. The temperatures cool. The kids are back to school. But each of those poses new challenges for your home.


People are sometimes split on winter. One thing that's a given is that snow and salt can be damaging to the insider of your home if you're not careful.


Takeaway: The seasons in Rice Lake are amazing. But the more time you spend outside the more likely the outside will find its way inside your home. The more often you clean, the better.


Number Of People In Your Home


We find that the more people you have in your home the more often you need to clean.


It's pretty straightforward. You might have children or extended family. You might have frequent visitors.


Whatever the case, the more people you have in your home throughout the month the dirtier things will get.


Takeaway: If you have a family the odds are good that you need to clean more.


Your Lifestyle


We mentioned earlier that loving the outdoors is great. Especially in Rice Lake. But the more you enjoy the more your home will need a little extra cleaning attention.


Some folks are also pretty tidy. They may need their homes cleaned less often. Perhaps once a month.


But some of us (my hand is up right now) are busy. Busy with work. Busy with kids. The house can often seem like chaos. You're in and out all the time. People are coming over.


If that describes you then you definitely want to clean your home bi-weekly.


Takeaway: The more you live in your home the more often you will want to clean.


Your Home Size


Size matters when it comes to cleaning in the sense that there is more to clean. What we often find for small houses is that each room is used all the time. So we recommend cleaning them each time you clean.


For larger homes, it depends on what rooms are used and how often. We might recommend cleaning the kitchen, the main bathrooms, etc. But we may recommend other, less used rooms, to be cleaned monthly or even bi-monthly.


Takeaway: Assess how often you use each room and create a cleaning plan.


Your Furry Friends


People love their pets. And we understand. We love pets too!


Our cleaning Pros often look forward to seeing their recurring clients every two weeks. But to be honest they also love seeing the pets.


But pets do bring their own requirements. And that means a little more cleaning.


Takeaway: If you have pets you will want to clean more often. And the more pets you have the more often you'll want to keep up with the cleaning.


Your Time To Clean


Do you have 3-4 hours to clean your home?


We all know people that enjoy cleaning their home. We do because we often hire them!


We also know folks that might rather be doing something else. Or perhaps they like cleaning their home, but between work and the kids there isn't any time.


If you have about 3 hours every two weeks then you're in good shape. Maybe you could set aside 90 minutes every week. Or perhaps you're better suited to blocking off one day a month for 4-5 hours.


Takeaway: Look at your schedule. The more often you can clean the shorter each clean needs to be. But the longer you wait the more time you need to set aside.


Final Thoughts


At MaidPro Eau Claire, we find that most homes need to be cleaned either bi-weekly or monthly.


We often do a first clean on a home and spend a little extra time getting it up to par. Then we come back bi-weekly to maintain a clean standard. This helps to avoid the layers of dust and grime that would otherwise build up.
