Bi-Monthly or Monthly Cleaning - Which is Better for Busy Columbus Residents?
If you're a busy homeowner in Columbus, Westerville, New Albany, or Gahanna, chances are you’ve asked yourself this question:
Should I book a bi‑weekly house cleaning or stick with a monthly service?
At RedButton Cleaning, we hear this all the time from clients juggling work, school drop‑offs, soccer practice, and everything else that fills a modern Ohioan’s schedule. And while both options have benefits, there’s a reason we recommend bi‑weekly cleanings—even if monthly cleanings come with a higher price tag (yes, 50 % more per visit!). Here’s why.
💸 Why Monthly Cleaning Costs 50 % More Per Visit
You read that right—our monthly maintenance cleanings are approximately 50 % more per visit compared to bi‑weekly appointments. But why?
It comes down to time, buildup, and effort. A home that hasn't been professionally cleaned in four weeks typically has:
More dust and allergens
Grime buildup in kitchens and bathrooms
More vacuuming and scrubbing required
More time spent restoring order, not just maintaining it
Our cleaning technicians have to spend significantly more time bringing your space back up to standard. It’s not your fault—life happens! But that’s why monthly cleans aren’t just spaced out, they’re more labor‑intensive, and we have to price them accordingly.
✅ What’s the Best Schedule for You?
There’s no one‑size‑fits‑all, but let’s compare bi‑weekly vs. monthly cleaning in real‑life terms:
Bi‑Weekly Cleaning (Every 2 Weeks)
Keeps your home consistently fresh and sanitary
Perfect for families, pet owners, or anyone with allergies
Less time needed per visit (so lower cost overall)
Prevents buildup in high‑traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens
Maintains “that clean feeling” all the time
➡️ Recommended for busy households, homes with kids or pets, and clients who want a consistently tidy space.
Monthly Cleaning (Every 4 Weeks)
Better than nothing, but allows for more buildup
Takes longer per session due to dust, grime, and clutter
Not ideal for people with sensitivities or high foot traffic
Requires clients to tidy and clean between visits to maintain cleanliness
➡️ Recommended for low‑traffic homes, minimalist lifestyles, or budget‑conscious clients.
🧽 Why Clean More Often?
Here’s what happens when you clean regularly instead of letting grime pile up:
Improved indoor air quality – dust, mites, and allergens are kept in check
Fewer stains and permanent damage – grime removed before it sets in
Better mental clarity – a tidy home often reduces stress and improves mood
Lower long‑term cost – shorter, more efficient cleanings reduce the need for pricey resets
🌱 Eco‑Friendly Maintenance Makes a Difference

Your children
