Key Points for Recurring Cleaning:

  • Weekly Cleaning: Focuses on maintaining cleanliness in high-traffic areas, preventing buildup, and ensuring surfaces and floors stay clean.
  • Bi-Weekly Cleaning: Takes it a step further by cleaning less frequently tended-to areas, offering a deeper clean for appliances, cabinets, and organizing spaces.
  • Monthly Tasks: More intensive tasks like organizing and deep-cleaning areas such as inside appliances or deep-cleaning floors.
