How Often Should You Deep Clean Your House?

A weekly clean keeps a home livable, but grease, soap scum, dust in vents, and grime on baseboards need a deeper reset on a longer cycle. Here's how our teams schedule deep cleans across Detroit and Dallas homes.

Every 3 to 6 months (whole home)

A full deep clean covers baseboards, doors and light switches, inside microwaves, blinds, ceiling fans, vents, grout scrubbing, and fixtures. Most homes benefit from this cadence — closer to 3 months for busy households with kids and pets, closer to 6 for smaller condos.

Every 6 to 12 months (appliances & extras)

Inside the oven and inside the refrigerator are typically add-ons because they take significant time. Twice a year is a good rhythm for most families, or before big holidays.

Weekly or biweekly maintenance

Between deep cleans, weekly or biweekly maintenance keeps everything under control — dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathrooms, and kitchen surfaces. If you skip maintenance, your next deep clean will take longer (and cost more).

Signs you need a deep clean now

Sticky range hood, soap scum on shower glass you can't scrub off, visible dust on baseboards or ceiling fans, dingy grout, or a lingering "used" smell in bedrooms — all classic signs it's time.
