Regular cleaning keeps your home tidy, but deep cleaning tackles the buildup that accumulates over time. From baseboards to behind appliances, deep cleaning addresses the areas that routine maintenance misses.

So how often should you schedule a deep clean? The answer depends on several factors.

General Deep Cleaning Guidelines

‍

For most homes, deep cleaning every 3-6 months is ideal. However, your specific situation may require more frequent attention:

‍

•      Homes with pets: Every 2-3 months (pet hair and dander accumulate quickly)

•      Homes with children: Every 3-4 months (more traffic, more messes)

•      Allergy sufferers: Every 2-3 months (reduce allergen buildup)

•      Couples or singles: Every 4-6 months

•     Large homes: Every 3-4 months (more surfaces to maintain)

Signs Your Home Needs a Deep Clean

Even if you're not on a strict schedule, watch for these signs:

•      Visible dust on baseboards, ceiling fans, or light fixtures

•      Grout looking dingy or discolored

•      Kitchen cabinets feeling sticky or grimy

•      Appliances with buildup (inside oven, refrigerator coils)

•      Increased allergy symptoms

•     Musty odors in closets or storage areas

Professional Deep Cleaning vs. DIY

While you can certainly deep clean your home yourself, professional services offer several advantages: specialized equipment, trained techniques, and the time savings of letting experts handle the intensive work. For many busy Indianapolis families, hiring professionals for deep cleaning while handling light maintenance themselves strikes the perfect balance.
