How often should you book a regular cleaner?

Weekly cleaning works well for busy homes

A weekly visit is often the most comfortable choice for families, pet owners and homes with high-use kitchens or bathrooms. Dust, floors and surfaces are refreshed before they begin to feel like a larger job.

It also makes it easier to rotate occasional tasks, such as skirting boards or inside windows, while the essential cleaning remains consistent.

Fortnightly cleaning suits lighter routines

If you keep on top of small jobs between visits, a fortnightly clean can provide a reliable reset. It is especially suitable for one- or two-person households and homes that are empty for much of the working week.

A little preparation — putting away clothes, paperwork and toys — allows more of the booked time to be spent on cleaning rather than tidying.

Start with your priorities

Think about which rooms become untidy fastest and how you want your home to feel at the end of the week. Zoia can help you choose a sensible starting schedule and adjust it later if your needs change.
