Keeping your home clean and healthy is no easy task, especially in a fast-paced city like London. Whether you're a busy professional in Westminster, a family in Fulham, or a landlord in Canary Wharf, the question always arises: how often should you clean your house professionally? The answer depends on several factors, including your lifestyle, property size, number of occupants, pets, and your expectations for cleanliness.
This guide offers a room-by-room breakdown to help London homeowners understand the ideal cleaning frequency for each area of the home and why booking a regular domestic cleaning service makes all the difference.
Why Frequency Matters: The Case for Regular Domestic Cleaning
From reducing allergens to preventing long-term damage, the benefits of professional house cleaning are wide-ranging. A regular domestic cleaning service helps maintain hygiene, saves you time, and improves the overall ambience of your home. For families with young children or pets, and especially allergy sufferers, regular cleaning is not just a convenience but a necessity.
At HD Cleaning Ltd, our trusted, vetted, and fully insured cleaners understand the unique demands of London homes. With over 95% customer satisfaction and glowing testimonials, we’ve built our reputation on word-of-mouth referrals and consistent results. Discover why homeowners across South-West and Central London—from Chelsea to Nine Elms—continue to choose HD Cleaning.
Kitchen: Every Week for General, Monthly for Deep Cleans
Your kitchen is the heart of your home and also one of the quickest to accumulate dirt, grease, and bacteria. A weekly general clean keeps countertops, sinks, and floors spotless, while a monthly deep clean targets appliances, inside cupboards, and extractor fans.
Our kitchen cleaning service removes built-up grime and eliminates bacteria lurking on surfaces and in hard-to-reach places. This is especially essential during summer months, when dust and debris levels spike, as highlighted in our Instagram post.
Bathroom: Twice a Week for High-Use Households
Bathrooms are a hotspot for germs, mould, and limescale. For large or high-occupancy households, a twice-weekly clean is ideal, while smaller households might manage with weekly visits. Key tasks include sanitising the toilet, descaling the shower and taps, scrubbing tiles, and disinfecting handles.
Our experienced cleaners use eco-friendly products that are safe for children and allergy sufferers, ensuring your bathroom is not just clean but hygienically sanitised.
Living Room & Bedrooms: Weekly General, Seasonal Deep Cleans
Living areas and bedrooms gather dust on surfaces, carpets, and upholstery. Weekly cleaning keeps the air fresh and the space inviting. A seasonal deep clean—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—is recommended to tackle hidden allergens and stubborn dust.
This is particularly important if you have pets or family members with allergies. We offer carpet and upholstery cleaning, furniture dusting, and mattress vacuuming, using chemical-free methods wherever possible.
Hallways & Entryways: Weekly Maintenance
As the gateway to your home, hallways accumulate dirt from shoes, coats, and pet paws. Weekly vacuuming and mopping are key to preventing the spread of outside contaminants into your living areas.
We provide meticulous entryway cleaning, focusing on door handles, light switches, floors, and skirting boards.
Windows & Glass Surfaces: Monthly to Quarterly
Windows, mirrors, and glass doors often get overlooked but can significantly impact the brightness and cleanliness of your home. We recommend monthly cleaning for internal glass surfaces and quarterly for exterior windows, depending on location.
