House Cleaning Services Calgary, AB

You vacuum, you dust, you wipe down the kitchen but some spots in your home need more attention than a quick weekly clean. Certain areas are hotspots for bacteria and buildup, and knowing how often to tackle them can make a real difference for your family’s health. Here’s your go-to cleaning schedule.

Bathtub — Weekly

It might surprise you, but your bathtub can actually harbor more bacteria than your trash can, studies have found bacteria in roughly a quarter of tubs tested, compared to a much smaller share of rubbish bins. Left unchecked, this buildup can contribute to skin irritation or infection. A weekly scrub keeps things safe and sanitary.

Refrigerator — Monthly

Your fridge, especially the salad drawers, can be a surprising breeding ground for bacteria like salmonella, listeria, yeast, and mold. Set a monthly reminder to clear it out, wipe down the shelves, and toss anything past its prime – your food (and your family) will thank you.

Mattress — Every Two Months

You wash your sheets regularly, but your mattress needs love too. Every couple of months, strip it down and give it a proper clean using a mattress protector helps keep it fresher for longer between washes.

Carpets — Every 6 to 12 Months

Vacuuming keeps the surface tidy, but dirt, allergens, and dust mites settle deep into carpet fibers over time. A professional steam clean every six to twelve months keeps your carpets looking, and smelling, like new.

Kitchen Countertops — Daily

This one’s non-negotiable: countertops should be wiped down every day with a clean cloth. Reusing a dirty cloth can actually spread more germs than it removes, so keep a few on rotation.
