Weekly, bi-weekly
or monthly?

Start with one question

Ask yourself: how long does it take your home to get to the point where it bothers you?

Whatever that interval is, book slightly more often than it. If your house starts grating on you at around three weeks, monthly means you spend a week of every month mildly annoyed.

Bi-weekly

Where most households land, and where Astrid would start most people.

Two weeks is roughly how long a lived-in home takes to go from clean to noticeably dirty. It's often enough that each visit is maintenance, and far enough apart to keep the cost reasonable.

Bi-weekly suits couples, small families, most townhomes and single-family homes in Loudoun, and anyone who tidies but doesn't deep clean.

Weekly

Weekly suits households with young children or multiple pets, anyone working long hours who doesn't want to think about cleaning, and larger homes where two weeks is too long.

It costs more per month but less per visit, because less has built up. If you're on bi-weekly and every visit feels rushed, switch to weekly.

Monthly

Monthly suits smaller homes, people who live alone, people who clean regularly themselves and want the deeper work handled, and second homes.

A month is long enough that each visit is more catch-up than maintenance. It works for the right household, but a monthly visit won't keep a house as clean as a bi-weekly one.

One-off

People book one-offs before guests, after a party, in spring, or because the month got away from them. Most turn into deep cleans, since the house has usually gone a while.

Change it if it's wrong

The frequency isn't a contract. Start where you think, live with it for two or three visits, and tell Astrid if it isn't right. Moving from monthly to bi-weekly — or the other way — is a text message.
