How Often Should You Do a Deep Cleaning?
Maintaining regular cleanliness at home is essential, but just as important is performing deep cleaning from time to time — the kind that goes far beyond visible surfaces, reaching under furniture, inside cabinets, behind appliances, and into all those hard-to-reach areas.
What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep (or general) cleaning is a comprehensive process that targets every area in a home, including:
-
Light switches, outlets, baseboards, and doors
-
All surface areas (including under and behind furniture)
-
Full disinfection of bathrooms
-
Removal of hard water stains on glass shower doors
-
Deep cleaning of kitchen appliances (oven, fridge, microwave, etc.)
-
Elimination of built-up grime, grease, and old stains
It’s not just about tidying up — it’s about restoring a sense of freshness, hygiene, and order on a deep level.
How Often Should You Deep Clean?
The frequency depends on your lifestyle, the number of occupants, and whether you have pets, but here are general recommendations:
| Area / Zone | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|
| Entire apartment / house | Every 3–6 months |
| Kitchen (appliances, cabinets, backsplash) | Every 1–2 months |
| Bathroom and toilet | Monthly |
| Under furniture, behind appliances | Every 3–4 months |
| Windows and window frames | Twice a year |
| Homes with allergies or pets | Every 1–2 months |
| After illness, renovation, or moving | Immediately after event |
Why Is It Important?
-
Health: Dust, mold, and bacteria accumulate in areas that are not part of daily or weekly cleaning.
-
Air Quality: A deeply cleaned space literally “breathes” better — improving comfort and atmosphere.
-
Longevity of materials: Routine deep cleaning preserves your flooring, countertops, cabinetry, and fixtures.
-
Child and pet safety: Thorough disinfection helps maintain a hygienic and safe environment.
