How Often Should You Schedule a House Cleaning Service?

Whilst there are tasks you do every day to keep your home in good order, such as make the bed, wash the dishes, and stay on top of laundry, most households need a little extra help each week. At Domestique, we offer a house cleaning service to suit you – whether this is a weekly or monthly package, or a one-off clean to freshen up your space – but how often should you be investing in a little extra help?

At Domestique, we offer a house cleaning service to suit you – whether this is a weekly or monthly package, or a one-off clean to freshen up your space – but how often should you be investing in a little extra help? 

Weekly 

Schedule a cleaning service once a week from your local MCS branch and enjoy your spare time whilst they clean:

  1. Your Floors: Hoover all carpets, and sweep and mop all hard floors. 
  2. Your Kitchen: Wipe down the countertops, clean the appliances, and disinfect the sink. 
  3. Your Living Room: Dust the surfaces, clean the TV, and air the upholstery. 
  4. Your Bathroom: Clean the bath, sink, shower, showerhead, toilet, and mirrors. 
  5. Your Bedroom: Wipe down the surfaces, freshen up the carpets, and clean under the bed. 

If you usually have the time to keep on top of these tasks from week to week, but need a little extra help to keep your home looking spotless, then a monthly house cleaning service is the option for you. 

 

Monthly

Monthly packages are for tackling those hard-to-reach corners of the home that often go unnoticed, but that need to be cleaned before dust and grime have a chance to build up in them. 

As well as all the areas mentioned in our weekly cleaning schedule, our cleaning teams will also focus upon the following areas: 

  1. Underneath Furniture: Tables, sideboards, and beds will be moved, and then the floors underneath them either hoovered or mopped.
  2. Blinds and Curtains: Particular care will always be taken when dusting blind slats or hoovering curtains with a soft attachment. 
  3. Light Switches: These fixtures will be cleaned with care to banish bacteria. 
  4. High Corners: Cobwebs and dust can quickly build up out of reach, and our team will deal with them across the home. 
  5. Bannisters: They harbour germs from across the household, and will need to be sanitised at least once per month. 

Perhaps you have a big event coming up soon, or are ready for a new start in a new home? We also offer one-off services to clean your home from top to bottom. 

 

When You Move

Whether you’re planning to put your home on the market or keen to get your rental deposit back at the end of your tenancy, our one-off cleans will get your house ready for estate agent photos and listings, and restore it to its original condition before handover day. 

Our end of tenancy cleaning services will: 

  1. Remove any accumulated grime. 
  2. Wipe any marks or stains from walls and surfaces. 
  3. Hoover and mop the entire home. 
  4. Dust behind, below, and above all surfaces. 
  5. Remove all limescale. 
  6. Clean drains with an appropriate solution. 
  7. Descale all bathroom fixtures. 
  8. Degrease kitchen surfaces and appliances. 

Other specialist cleans which may be required during this time, including oven and carpet cleaning, are one-off services and will need to be arranged separately. 

However, these important cleans shouldn’t be left until your tenancy is at an end…

 

How Often Should You Have Your…

Carpet Cleaned?

Most UK homes should have their carpets cleaned once every year, especially if there are children or pets in the household. 

Our teams use specialist machinery to improve the look, feel, and cleanliness of your carpets, and we also offer a professional stain removal service to break down any surface stains and treat life’s little spills before they set in. 

 

Oven Cleaned? 

Your oven should be cleaned every 3 months to tackle burnt-on food and lingering grease which can quickly become hazardous if left any longer. 

Our oven cleans are offered on a quarterly basis, or as an optional add-on to your regular cleaning service, and include the hobs, hoods and extractor fan – we will even replace the filter free of charge!

 

Mattress Cleaned? 

Whilst you should change your bedsheets at least once per week, we also recommend having your mattress cleaned every 6 months. 

Our mattress cleaning service is a dry service, which will not affect the properties of your mattress, and we use a high powered machine to eliminate all contaminants and deliver a fresh mattress ready for a good night’s sleep. 

 

Windows Cleaned?

Most of our clients have their windows cleaned on a regular basis, especially during the summer months, as the increased sunlight really shines a spotlight on any fingerprints or smudges. 

We offer our window cleaning service at 6, 8 or 12 week intervals – the choice is yours!
