I recently came across a debate about how often homes and businesses should hire professional cleaning services. Some people swear by weekly deep cleans, while others think an occasional visit is enough. But the truth is, it depends on your space, lifestyle, and level of foot traffic.

How Often Should You Get Professional Cleaning?

• Apartments & Homes: If you live alone or with minimal clutter, a bi-weekly or monthly deep clean might work. But if you have pets or kids? Weekly cleaning can be a game-changer.
• Offices & Workspaces: A tidy workspace increases productivity. At the very least, offices should have a thorough cleaning once a week and daily maintenance in shared spaces.
• Restaurants & Retail Stores: These businesses should get daily cleaning to maintain hygiene standards and make a good impression on customers.
• Post-Construction Spaces: If you've recently renovated, don't even think about skipping a professional deep clean—that dust gets everywhere.

Why Professional Cleaning is Worth It

Sure, you can handle some of it yourself. But professional cleaners have the right tools, disinfectants, and expertise to do the job faster and better. It’s not just about making things look nice—it’s about removing allergens, bacteria, and grime that you might not even notice.

I run a cleaning service in Chicago, and we’ve seen it all—from neglected apartments to offices that haven’t been deep-cleaned in years. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re cleaning enough, chances are, you could use a little extra help.
