Weekly vs. Biweekly vs. Monthly: Choosing a Cleaning Frequency

The right cleaning frequency depends on your household, not on a one-size-fits-all rule — but if you want the short answer, most of our clients choose every-other-week service, and they tell us it takes an average of 20 hours of housework off their plate each month. Below is the same framework we walk through with every new Perfect Maintenance Cleaning client, including when weekly is worth it and when monthly honestly is not enough.

Who is weekly cleaning actually for?

Weekly service fits homes where mess outruns good intentions: multiple kids, pets that shed, lots of home cooking, or a house that doubles as a full-time office. The payoff is a home in a state of perpetual readiness — you never spend a Sunday scrubbing a toilet, and allergen loads from dust and dander stay consistently low. The trade-off is cost: it is the most frequent schedule, and for a tidy two-person household it is usually more service than you need.

Why is every-other-week the most popular choice?

Biweekly service is the Goldilocks option, and it is what most of our Denver clients pick. Bathrooms and the kitchen get a professional scrub right about when soap scum and stovetop film start to show, and with a little light tidying in between — dishes, a quick sweep — the home stays guest-ready all month. It balances upkeep and budget better than any other schedule for the majority of households.

When does monthly cleaning make sense — and when doesn't it?

Honestly: monthly service is a periodic reset, not maintenance. It works well for solo dwellers, frequent travelers, minimalists, and naturally tidy people who genuinely keep up with their own kitchens and bathrooms between visits. If your household is busy, monthly tends to disappoint — the home feels behind for three weeks out of four, and each visit spends its time catching up instead of polishing. If that describes you, choosing monthly to save money usually costs you satisfaction instead.

How do you actually decide?

• Watch your decision-maker rooms. If the kitchen and bathrooms cross your frustration line within a week, lean weekly. If they hold up for ten to fourteen days, biweekly fits.

• Count who lives there. Kids, shedding pets, and all-day work-from-home use all push you one notch more frequent.

• Factor in Denver's climate. Our dry air means dust settles fast, and winter brings tracked-in snow, salt, and mud.

• Treat the first two months as a trial. There are no contracts with us, so if biweekly feels behind by day ten, switching to weekly is one message away — and you can scale back just as easily.

Whatever frequency you land on, a few good habits stretch it further — our guide to keeping your home clean between professional cleanings covers the five-minute routines that matter most. And if you are still weighing whether professional help pays off at all, our honest look at cleaning service cost vs. DIY runs the real math, time included.

Customer Testimonials

I was extremely pleased with Ashley’s team and they left my house extra-sparkling, making me look good for my in-laws’ visit. All traces of puppy fur and hard-to-remove gunk removed, and the house smelled clean, like lavender (not harsh chemicals). This is thorough, professional, fairly priced, and courteous service. All the stars!”

Stacey P.

“We are very pleased with the service we received with Dashing Maids. Their communication and customer service is superb! Ashley is professional and has great attention to detail. She took the time to take notes on all the areas in our house that I wanted to have cleaned during our first walk through, which I really appreciated. In the past, I’ve done walk throughs with other cleaning companies, explained what I wanted cleaned, they nod “yes” and then didn’t follow through. When Dashing Maids came to clean on our scheduled date, they were very efficient. Everything looked great when they were finished and I’m looking forward to having Dashing Maids return on a regular basis.”

Kara S.

“I have never had a cleaning service, but considered it often. Dashing Maids put a flyer on my door which intrigued me enough to call them. I was impressed with their initiative and enthusiasm that I hired them after our initial meeting. Now every other week I get to come home to a wonderfully clean house with their charming additions that make me smile. I’m not sure they are trying to turn my “black thumb” into a greenish one, but I haven’t killed the lucky bamboo they left as a surprise yet. I’d fully endorse them as a cleaning, Dashing Maids service.”

Maggie B.

“It’s so nice to come home to a sparkling clean house! I’ve worked with other cleaning companies in the past and Dashing Maids always provides a more thorough clean than I’ve found with other companies for a very reasonable price. Plus, they’re great with my dog and don’t mind that he’s at home when they come to clean. I highly recommend Dashing Maids!”

Miriam T.

“There is no one that cleans our house as well as Katie does! She is meticulous and genuinely loves to clean, and it absolutely shows. We love it when it is our cleaning day. I could not be happier with the services provided by her and the Dashing Maids company. They are responsive, timely, and have overall been a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable cleaning company.”

Kristin W.

“I have been using Dashing Maids for several years now, and appreciate the communication and consistency with which our home is cleaned. The cleaner that always treats our home as if it were hers is Katie. Thanks Katie for your hard work!”

Michelle C.

“Hannah G was great! She even left a nice note on my countertop that said, “Have a great weekend!” I love personal touches like that.”

Katelyn Z.

“Thank you Talon! It was great to walk into my office today to have it sparkly clean and ready for a week of patients!”

Emmy C.

"We have been dashing maids customers for a couple of years now and the service is always impeccable. Most recently our cleaning team has included Katie and Hannah, and I always get excited when I see them arrive. I know my house will be clean and I’ll get the pleasure of their company while they clean it. They do a great job and give me such peace of mind!”

Stephanie B.

“Ashley and her crew are the best house cleaning service I have ever employed. So friendly and so fast, yet so thorough. My house feels and smells so clean, and that freshness lasts. Would highly recommend to all my friends."

Kellie C.

We've been fortunate to have Dashing Maids clean our home for the past several years. Ashley and her entire team have been great to work with. We'd recommend them without reservation. Most recently, Tori and Carol cleaned our home with detail and care.

Rachel L.

We really appreciate our cleaner,
Lily! She does more than just a quick “once over”. She recently found a class ring that had been missing for ages- thank you for a job well done! Dashing Maids delivers thoroughgoing service every time
