How Long Does A House Clean Take?

House cleaning can be a time-intensive undertaking, especially if you haven’t cleaned your home in a while. If you have a full day ahead, you don’t want to waste a lot of time cleaning.

Several things determine the time it takes to clean your home. These factors include:
 

  • The cleaning process you follow
  • The equipment you have available
  • The degree of messiness and dirt in your home
  • How skilled you are at cleaning
  • The size of your home

The Cleaning Process

The process you follow is crucial to clean your house as quickly and efficiently as possible. Generally speaking, you should start by tidying up. After everything is in its place, you can begin the cleaning process, which includes washing the dishes, vacuuming, and sterilising surfaces.

Here is a typical cleaning process:

  1. Put all items, such as magazines, toys, and personal items in their place. These items include dirty dishes, which should go into the washer or sink. Dirty laundry should go into a hamper.
  2. Wash the dishes. This step can make a big difference in your kitchen.
  3. Make the beds, and check that no toys or shoes are lying around in the bedrooms.
4. Clean all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms with a product that contains a peroxide-releasing compound. If you have a steam cleaner, use it to loosen caked-on mould and dirt in your shower and on tile grout.
5. Vacuum all carpets and furniture, and spend some time to ensure that you remove as much dust and pet hair as possible.
6. If there are stains in the carpet or furniture, aggravate it with a brush and fabric soap to loosen it from the fibres. Then use an extractor to remove the solvent.
7. Sweep your tile floors with a broom before washing them with a tile cleaner.

The Equipment You Have Available

If you don’t have equipment like a vacuum, extractor, or steam cleaner, you will have to rely on elbow grease, which can prolong house cleaning. Professional house cleaners typically have these tools to make the process quicker and more effective.

 

The Dirt In Your Home

If you only clean your home fortnightly or monthly, expect to spend some time loosening grime and dirt from your surfaces. Removing a few weeks’ worth of pet hair and dander from your carpets and furniture can also take a long time.

Your Home Cleaning Skill

With regular cleaning comes speed. You will spend less time wondering what to do next, and you will eventually develop a cleaning system that works for you.

The Size Of Your House

If you are alone, prepare to spend an average of one hour per room. For example, if you have four bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room, it will take you around eight hours to clean your house thoroughly.

However, if you use the services of professional house cleaners, it will take much less time. Our cleaning partners at My Maid are experienced and will take care of the job for you.
