Cleaning is a continuous process that’s essential to maintaining a healthy and welcoming environment. Keeping your space clean from dust, dirt, and allergens is important for the well-being of everyone at home. But is your weekly cleaning routine enough? Let’s explore two types of cleaning, what each one involves, and how often it should be done.
General Cleaning
Whether you prefer to do it yourself or hire someone to help, general cleaning refers to the routine tasks that keep your space tidy. This includes sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and more. Regular, surface-level cleaning ensures your home remains hygienic and comfortable.
We recommend doing general cleaning weekly or every two weeks, depending on the size of your home. Having a regular cleaning routine offers several benefits:
- Important areas get cleaned frequently.
- A neat and organised home promotes comfort and well-being.
- It helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Keeps your home smelling fresh and clean.
Deep Cleaning
While general cleaning helps maintain a tidy space, some areas and items in your home need a deeper, more thorough cleaning from time to time. Deep cleaning goes beyond your routine and targets those hard-to-reach spots often neglected.
Deep cleaning may take more time and effort, which is why we suggest doing it every six months or once a year. It’s especially important during special situations, such as after renovations, before or after a big event, or when moving into a new home.
The benefits of deep cleaning include:
- Disinfecting less frequently cleaned items, such as the oven, microwave, and fridge, improves sanitation.
- Carpets, upholstery, and fabrics can be cleaned deeply to remove stubborn dirt, stains, and allergens.
- Reducing dust levels leads to better air quality.
- Creates a healthier environment by eliminating mould, mildew, and dust mites.
