How often should I get a cleaner?

How often you should get a cleaner depends on a bunch of factors: how many people live in the house, how much time people spend at home, your general levels of cleanliness, your budget and how much cleaning you want to do yourself. And that’s just to name a few.

We’ve broken down the most common cleaning frequencies, with some info on what these options would mean for you and your home.

One-off cleaning: perfect if you need the occasional helping hand

One-off cleaning is perfect if you need the odd helping hand. Maybe you’ve got friends or family visiting and you’d like to get your home in tip-top condition to impress them. Or maybe you’ve just let the housework get the better of you. You might even just fancy treating yourself to that clean-home feeling.

Whatever the reason, a one-off clean will help save you a good few hours. It won’t be an ongoing solution – but if that’s not what you’re after, it’s a great shout.

Things you’ll never need to worry about: Dusting, scrubbing and mopping before friends and family come around

Things you’ll still need to do: The dishes, bin runs, dusting and any other ongoing cleaning after your visit

Every two weeks: keeping your home clean & tidy

Getting a cleaner every two weeks is one of the most popular options. It ensures that your home stays in a clean, tidy state on an ongoing basis. You’ll need to do the odd chore still, but the heavy lifting will be taken care of for you.

Things you’ll never need to worry about: Dusting, scrubbing, limescale removal, mopping

Things you’ll still need to do: the dishes (most days at least), the odd bin run & occasional vacuuming

Every week: spotless service

If you’re looking to banish bin runs & vanquish vacuuming then a weekly clean’s for you. You’ll only really need to spot clean the odd spillage and fill the dishwasher. For the most part, your sprays and cloths can stay in the cupboard though.

Things you’ll never need to worry about: vacuuming, bin runs, dusting, scrubbing, limescale removal, mopping

Things you’ll still need to do: the dishes (most days at least), spot-cleaning surfaces

More than once per week (or even daily) cleaning: never lift a finger

Want floors so clean you could eat off them? Then a greater-than-weekly, or even daily cleaning service, might be the one for you.

Things you’ll never need to worry about: emptying the dishwasher, vacuuming, bin runs, dusting, scrubbing, limescale removal, mopping

Things you’ll still need to do: wipe up an urgent spillage
