Frequency follows use, not size alone
A small apartment with two people working from home and a dog may get dirty faster than a large, lightly occupied house. Look at the kitchen, bathrooms, entrance, and floors; those zones usually set the rhythm.
Account for the work residents do between visits. Professional service can cover the base while occupants handle dishes, immediate spills, and tidying.
- Number of occupants
- Pets and shedding
- Daily cooking
- Working from home and guests
Weekly or every two weeks
Weekly visits fit heavily used zones, busy families, or people who want a shorter list each time. Every two weeks allows more buildup but is often enough when residents do light maintenance.
Budget matters as well. Reducing the checklist and keeping a stable frequency may work better than requesting too many tasks at long intervals.
- Weekly: tighter upkeep
- Every two weeks: common balance
- Same priorities each visit
- Add-ons scheduled separately
Monthly or one-time
A monthly visit can resemble a detailed clean rather than maintenance, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Set priorities so the duration does not grow without control.
One-time service is useful before a gathering, after a busy period, at a season change, or for one specific zone. It may not create a lasting baseline when buildup returns quickly.
- Before or after an event
- Season change
- Return from travel
- One room needing a reset
Test and adjust
Start with one visit and note when priority areas begin to bother you again. That interval is a better guide than a general rule.
Review the schedule after a month or two. A new routine, pet, move, or Montreal winter can change the need.
- Date of first visit
- Zones that get dirty first
- Resident maintenance time
- Seasonal adjustment
