At what frequency should we take deep cleaning for your home and office?
It may not be possible to do a deep cleaning of a home or office on a weekly basis. Because this type of cleaning takes more than one day. Therefore, the process of deep cleaning should be determined on the basis of the size of the house, the number of family members, and the lifestyle of the family.
For example -
Monthly - Monthly cleaning can be considered if the size of the house is small and the family members reside in the house regularly. If you have pets in the home, a monthly deep cleaning can be helpful in maintaining good health and a clean home free of bacterial contamination.
Quarterly or half-yearly - households that do not have pets and have two or three members living in the household.
Yearly - For homes with fewer members, no pets, and infrequent guests, a deep cleaning once a year may be sufficient.
Generally, it may be possible to consider deep cleaning of the office if there is a holiday in the office for more than two days. Therefore, annual cleaning can be considered in the case of a small office building and a smaller number of employees. On the contrary, if the size of the office is large and of more the number of employees, getting a deep cleaning done half yearly can be helpful in maintaining a clean environment.
In this way, the need for deep cleaning of home or office should be determined by personal need, budget, and understanding.
