Questions, answered

How often should you clean your house?

Every other week fits most Fairbanks and Anchorage homes. Weekly fits kids, pets, or a wood stove that runs every night. Monthly fits a small household that already stays picked up.

How often should you deep clean your house?

About once a year for two adults with no pets, and about every three to four months for a household with kids, pets, or wood heat. In Alaska, the end of the heating season and spring breakup are the two natural times.

Is cleaning every other week enough?

For most working households, yes. Bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, and floors stay in good shape. Baseboards and shower grout need extra time on those visits. A wood stove that runs every night usually wants weekly.

How often should you clean a house with a wood stove?

Weekly, or every other week at the longest, through the heating season. The stove leaves a fine film on sills and shelves while the house stays shut. A deep clean about every three to four months clears what the regular visit does not.
