How Often Should You Clean Your House in Florida?

Florida's climate affects how often your home needs professional cleaning. Find the right schedule for your lifestyle.

Quick Answer

Most Florida homes do best with bi-weekly cleaning. The humidity, dust, and pollen in Florida mean homes get dirtier faster than in other climates.

Families with children, pets, or allergies often prefer weekly service. Snowbirds and minimal-use homes may be fine with monthly cleaning.

Why Florida Homes Need More Frequent Cleaning

Humidity

Florida's high humidity leads to faster dust accumulation and mold risk. More frequent cleaning helps control moisture issues.

Pollen & Dust

Year-round pollen and outdoor dust blow in constantly. Regular cleaning removes allergens before they build up.

Pets

Pet hair and dander accumulate faster in Florida's climate. Weekly cleaning is often needed for multi-pet homes.

Outdoor Living

Florida's indoor-outdoor lifestyle brings more dirt inside. Lanais and Florida rooms need regular attention.
