The Best Cleaning Schedule for Busy DMV Families

Between commutes to DC, kids' activities, and weekend plans, DMV families are busy. Keeping a clean home shouldn't add stress. Here's a practical cleaning schedule designed for real life in Silver Spring, Arlington, and across the region.

Daily Tasks (10 Minutes)

  • Wipe kitchen counters and stovetop after cooking
  • Load/unload dishwasher
  • Quick bathroom counter wipe
  • Sort mail and declutter entryway
  • One load of laundry (wash, dry, fold)

Weekly Tasks (Handled by Your Cleaning Service)

  • Vacuum all floors and carpets
  • Mop hard floors
  • Clean all bathrooms — toilet, shower, sink, mirror
  • Dust furniture, shelves, and ceiling fans
  • Clean kitchen appliance exteriors
  • Change bed linens
  • Empty all trash cans

This is exactly what our recurring cleaning service covers — weekly or bi-weekly, so you never fall behind.

Monthly Tasks

  • Clean inside microwave and oven
  • Wipe baseboards and door frames
  • Vacuum under furniture
  • Clean windows (interior)
  • Sanitize trash cans

Quarterly Tasks (Deep Cleaning)

  • Inside refrigerator and cabinets
  • Behind and under appliances
  • Light fixtures and vent covers
  • Carpet deep-cleaning
  • Grout scrubbing in kitchens and baths

Our quarterly deep cleaning handles all of this in a single visit.
