Biweekly house cleaning — every two weeks — is the most popular recurring cleaning schedule among Marin County homeowners. It keeps your home consistently clean without the cost of weekly service, and it's frequent enough that each visit stays manageable rather than requiring a deep clean. This guide explains what biweekly cleaning includes, what it costs in Marin County, and whether it's the right schedule for your home.
What Biweekly Cleaning Means
Biweekly means every two weeks — not twice a week. It's a common source of confusion, so it's worth clarifying upfront. A biweekly schedule means your home is professionally cleaned 26 times per year, roughly every 14 days. This is the sweet spot for most Marin County households: frequent enough to stay on top of dust, grime, and buildup, but not so frequent that it feels intrusive or expensive.
Biweekly cleaning is a standard clean — not a deep clean. Because the home is maintained on a regular schedule, each visit is more efficient. Dust doesn't accumulate as heavily, kitchens and bathrooms stay cleaner between visits, and floors require less effort. This is why recurring clients pay less per visit than one-time clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does biweekly mean twice a week or every two weeks?
Biweekly means every two weeks — once every 14 days, 26 times per year. It does not mean twice a week. If you want twice-weekly cleaning, that would be a weekly or semi-weekly schedule.
Why is biweekly cleaning cheaper than one-time cleaning?
Homes on a regular schedule are easier to maintain. Dust doesn't accumulate as heavily, kitchens and bathrooms stay cleaner between visits, and each visit requires less effort. This efficiency is passed on to you as a lower per-visit rate.
Do I need a deep clean before starting biweekly service?
Yes. New recurring clients start with a deep clean to get the home to a consistent baseline. After that, each biweekly visit is a standard clean.
Can I skip a visit if I'm traveling?
Yes. Let us know at least 48 hours in advance and we'll skip that visit. We don't charge for skipped visits with adequate notice.
