Ever find yourself scrubbing the counters at midnight wondering, “Didn’t I just clean this?” You’re not alone. Life moves fast—especially with work, family, pets, and that never-ending laundry pile. That’s why more and more folks are getting a little help with the housework (cue the happy sigh).

But here’s the thing: should you bring in the pros every week or just once a month?

Let’s talk about it—no pressure, no sales pitch. Just real talk from your friends here at Two Ladies & A Bucket in St. Louis, Missouri.

 

Weekly Cleaning: For the “My House Is Lived In” Life

If your home is the go-to hangout spot, if you’ve got pets shedding like it’s their job, or if you’re just too dang busy to vacuum again—a weekly cleaning might be your perfect match.

Here’s why people love it:

  • It Keeps Things Manageable: Little messes don’t get the chance to become big, scary ones.
  • Less Stress: You know that feeling when everything is in its place? Weekly cleanings help you keep that vibe going.
  • Supports Your Deep Clean Investment: If you’ve ever had a full-on Top to Bottom Deluxe Cleaning, weekly visits keep all that sparkle from fading.
  • Kid and Pet Tested, Cleaner Approved: Life gets messy fast when there are little feet (or paws) running around. Weekly cleaning keeps you from always playing catch-up.

Think of it like this: weekly cleanings are like having a little team in your corner cheering, “You’ve got this!” (And then scrubbing your baseboards.)

 

Monthly Cleaning: Just Enough to Stay Sane

Maybe your place doesn’t get too wild between cleanings. Maybe you enjoy a little weekend tidy-up and just need an extra hand once in a while. That’s where monthly service shines.

 

Here’s the scoop:

  • Great for Smaller Households: If it’s just you (or maybe you and a neat partner), monthly may be plenty.
  • Budget-Friendly: You still get the perks of a pro clean—just spread out a bit more.
  • Perfect Pairing with Occasional Cleanings: Got guests coming? Hosting Thanksgiving? Mix in a One-time or Occasional Cleaning and boom—sparkling.
  • Feels Like a Reset Button: Life gets messy. Monthly cleanings are a great way to say, “Okay, let’s start fresh.”

It’s like giving your home a little TLC without going all in every week.

 

So… Which One Is You?

Let’s be honest—there’s no “right” answer. Some folks thrive with weekly cleanings because they’ve got toddlers finger-painting on every surface. Others feel good with a monthly refresh and a little upkeep in between.

Ask yourself:

  • Am I constantly picking up messes?
  • Do I want to stay clean or get clean?
  • Is my time better spent elsewhere (like finally watching that Netflix series)?

Listen, life changes. Your cleaning needs might change too—and that’s totally okay. You don’t have to commit forever.

 

Oh, and If You’re in St. Louis…

You’ve probably Googled “house cleaning near me” more than once, right? Just know, whether you need a deep-down Top to Bottom Deluxe Cleaning or a once-a-month reset, your St. Louis neighbors (hi, that’s us!) have your back.

We’re just here to make home feel a little less stressful—and a lot more comfy.

 

Final Thought: You’re Doing Great

Whether you choose weekly, monthly, or somewhere in between, the goal is simple: create a home that feels good to you. Not Pinterest-perfect. Not magazine-ready. Just clean, calm, and totally yours.

And if you ever need a bucket (or two), you know where to find us.
