It’s one of the most common questions we hear from clients across Dallas and the DFW Metroplex: “How often should I deep clean my home?”
Life gets busy — between work, family, pets, and the Texas heat, it’s easy for dust, allergens, and grime to build up over time. While regular cleaning keeps things tidy, every home can benefit from a scheduled deep cleaning to keep it truly fresh, healthy, and beautiful.
Here’s what you need to know to decide how often you should schedule a professional deep cleaning service.
What’s the Difference Between Deep Cleaning and Regular Cleaning?

Regular cleaning (also called general or maintenance cleaning) covers your usual weekly or bi-weekly tasks: vacuuming, dusting, wiping surfaces, and keeping your home presentable.
Deep cleaning goes far beyond that — reaching into those spots that don’t get regular attention:
- Baseboards
- Ceiling fans
- Light fixtures
- Behind and under furniture
- Inside cabinets
- Grout scrubbing
- Removing built-up grime and dust
Deep cleaning is essential for reducing allergens, improving air quality, and protecting your home’s value — especially in Dallas, where summer heat and air conditioning can trap dust and debris indoors.
Factors That Affect How Often You Should Deep Clean
Every home is different — here are some key factors that determine how often you should schedule deep cleaning:
Pets
Pet hair, dander, and paw traffic can build up fast. If you have one or more pets, deep cleaning every 3 to 4 months is ideal.
Kids
Children bring lots of joy — and lots of mess! Families with young children should aim for a deep clean every season to keep play areas hygienic.
Allergies or Asthma
Allergy sufferers or anyone sensitive to dust should deep clean quarterly or as needed to improve indoor air quality.
🛠️ After Renovation or Remodeling
Even a small project can leave fine dust everywhere. A professional deep clean is a must immediately after renovation.
Entertaining or Events
Hosting guests or parties? It’s a great idea to schedule a deep clean before or after big events.
Recommended Deep Cleaning Frequency
Here’s a quick guide:
Home Type / Situation | Recommended Deep Cleaning |
---|---|
Average home (no kids or pets) | Twice per year |
Homes with pets | Quarterly |
Families with young children | Quarterly |
Allergy sufferers | Quarterly |
After renovation | Immediately after |
Vacation rentals / Airbnb properties | After each guest turnover |
Preparing for sale / open house | One-time deep clean |
