Daily, weekly, monthly — we break down the ideal cleaning frequency for every room so your home stays fresh all year round.
One of the most common questions we hear from Perth homeowners is: 'how often should I be cleaning?' The answer depends on your household, but here's a general guide that works for most Perth homes.
**Daily tasks (5–10 minutes):** Wipe kitchen benchtops after cooking. Do dishes or load the dishwasher. Wipe the bathroom basin after use. Sweep or quick-vacuum high-traffic areas. These small habits prevent build-up and make weekly cleaning much easier.
**Weekly tasks (1–2 hours):** Vacuum all floors. Mop hard floors. Clean bathrooms and toilets. Wipe down the kitchen — stovetop, appliances, outside of cupboards. Change bed linen. Empty all bins.
**Monthly tasks (2–3 hours):** Inside the microwave, fridge exterior, oven exterior. Wipe light switches and door handles. Dust ceiling fans and light fittings. Clean inside the dishwasher and washing machine.
**Quarterly tasks (4–5 hours):** Deep clean the oven and rangehood. Clean inside cupboards and pantry. Wash curtains or blinds. Clean balcony/patio furniture. Wipe skirting boards and window tracks.
**Annually:** Professional carpet steam clean. Window cleaning (inside and outside). External gutters (especially important in Perth's storm season).
When to call a professional. If your home hasn't had a proper deep clean in over 6 months, or you're preparing for a special event, hosting guests or selling your home — a professional deep clean is worth every cent.
