If you and your family are expecting an addition in the near future, Congratulations! Expanding a family is one of life’s most rewarding experiences. But it also can be one of the messiest.
From the time you first bring them home until the day they finally move out of your house, children bring additional challenges to keeping your home clean. When they are toddlers, you need to make sure floors and anything at their level are clean and safe. By the time they are teenagers, you may find yourself constantly cleaning up after them.
Frequency of Cleanings
Most parents’ lives can be divided into two eras: Before Children (BC) and After Children (AC). When you are single or newly married but without children, it is relatively easy to keep your home clean. Many people can keep up with the cleaning chores themselves while others may have professional cleaners come in only occasionally or perhaps twice monthly.
But kids change everything. The thought of keeping a house with children clean with only one or two visits per month by maids is laughable. Most parents quickly realize that they need to increase the frequency of their scheduled cleaning sessions.
How Often to Clean?
So how often should you have professional cleaners come to your home when you have kids? It really depends on two factors: The number of children you have and how old they are.
Newborns don’t generally affect the overall cleanliness of a home. But once they become mobile — in other words, when they reach toddler age — everything changes. Young children can often seem like two-legged wrecking machines.
When kids start to grow up, it’s generally a good idea to increase the frequency of your house cleaning to at least weekly. If there are more children and they are younger, you may even want to consider having our professional cleaners visit your home twice weekly.
Having kids is rewarding but it also can be very messy. Fortunately, the professional cleaners from Pinheiro’s Cleaning are available to help keep your home kid-safe and dirt-free.
