Keeping a clean home doesn't mean spending every weekend scrubbing floors. The key is knowing what to clean and how often — so you can stay on top of things without burning out.
Here's what our professional cleaners at Wexford Cleaning recommend for homes across Pittsburgh, Wexford, and Cranberry Township.
Daily Tasks (5–10 Minutes)
These quick habits prevent buildup and keep your home feeling fresh:
- Wipe kitchen counters after cooking
- Load/unload the dishwasher — don't let dishes pile up
- Make beds — it sets the tone for the whole room
- Sort mail and papers — clutter accumulates fast
- Quick bathroom sink wipe — takes 30 seconds
Weekly Tasks
This is where most of the real cleaning happens:
- Vacuum all floors (carpets and hard surfaces)
- Mop kitchen and bathroom floors
- Clean bathrooms — toilets, showers, mirrors
- Dust surfaces — shelves, nightstands, TV stands
- Change bed linens
- Wipe kitchen appliances — microwave, stovetop
Bi-Weekly Tasks
These can be alternated week to week:
- Deep clean the refrigerator — check expiration dates
- Dust ceiling fans and light fixtures
- Vacuum under furniture and cushions
- Clean interior windows and mirrors
- Wipe down doors and light switches
Monthly Tasks
- Deep clean the oven
- Wash curtains or blinds
- Clean behind and under large appliances
- Descale showerheads and faucets
- Organize closets and drawers
Seasonal Deep Cleans (Every 3–6 Months)
This is where a professional cleaning service really shines. A seasonal deep clean covers everything you don't get to regularly:
- Baseboards, crown molding, and door frames
- Inside cabinets and pantry
- Carpet deep cleaning or steam cleaning
- Window tracks and exterior-facing glass
- Garage and basement tidying
