An Akron house spends about five months dealing with what winter brings in. Then it spends a few more drying out. A visit schedule works best when it takes that lopsided year into account, rather than treating every month alike.

This guide explains how the Recurring House Clean will work when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Akron. A bi-weekly plan starts at $138.00 and runs $138.00 to $441.00 across the table, priced by the home, not by the hour.

Why the year feels so lopsided

From December through March the numbers stack up: 8.9 inches of snow, then 13.4, 12.0 and 7.6, with about 46 days a year showing at least an inch on the ground. Winters here bring a mix of rain, sleet and snow, and every kind leaves something on the entry floor. Dry air, with January dew points near 21 degrees, keeps a fine dust moving through the rest of the house.

April and May turn to mud. Normal highs climb from 48.4 degrees in March to 61.8 in April, the median last freeze is April 24 and about 89 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of precipitation. June is the wettest month, at 4.43 inches.

Summer is the easy stretch. The July normal high is 84.3, with only about 11 days a year at 90 or hotter. Dew points near 62 keep bathrooms slower to dry, but that is about all. Then the leaves come. Akron's collection runs ward by ward starting in November, and residents rake into the street the day before.

Three frequencies, three kinds of household

All three options start with an Initial Deep Clean that catches up baseboards, tracks and fans. After that, the question is how quickly your home loses ground.

Moving between schedules

The hardest stretch is January through April, so if you only step up once a year, make it then. A monthly household that is mopping salt between visits will usually be happier on bi-weekly until the mud is gone. Summer is the natural place to ease off. In a quiet home with fresh air moving through, monthly can be plenty from late June through September.

Fall sets up the next round. Akron's leaf program starts in November, and with the median first freeze around October 26 the door gets busier again. Before that, a recurring visit is a good chance to get vents and fans clean ahead of the heating season, because the furnace will soon be moving whatever is on them.

Older homes and doubles need some thought as well. Two to four unit buildings make up about 10 percent of housing, and in those a shared entry means your floors may be getting someone else's boots too.

What your house says about the schedule

A city where about 60 percent of homes predate 1960 has plenty of trim, door frames and old radiators for dust to settle on. In those homes, bi-weekly tends to look noticeably better than monthly, and a light regular touch is kinder to old finishes than an occasional hard scrub.

Newer suburban homes have less detail but more floor. About 29 percent of Stow's homes and about 30 percent of Medina's have four or more bedrooms, so the routine goes mostly to kitchens, baths and traffic paths. About 56 percent of Akron's own homes have three or more bedrooms. Whatever your layout, a heavy mat outside and an absorbent one inside each door stretch any schedule. See the deep cleaning guide for one-off resets and the cost page for the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Akron Recurring cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

On the current Akron rate card, a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean starts at $138.00 per visit for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $229.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home of about 2,000 sq ft and $441.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft. Prices are by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included, and your exact price is shown online before you book.
Bi-weekly suits most busy homes. January alone averages 13.4 inches of snow, and salt comes in on every boot, so a monthly visit leaves a lot of time for it to work into floors. A smaller, quieter home may manage on monthly with good mats and a boot tray.
Yes. Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly are the same Recurring House Clean, so you can move between them. Summers are relatively mild here, with about 11 days at 90 or hotter, and many households could ease off from late June through September, then step back up before the snow.
It is an Initial Deep Clean, handling the baseboards, blinds, tracks, fans and vents that routine visits only keep up with. After that, each visit is priced at the recurring rate on your row, which starts at $138.00 for the smallest homes on a bi-weekly plan.
They help a great deal, because salt does the most harm when it sits. Floors get cleaned on every visit. With about 46 days a year of snow on the ground, mats and a boot tray still matter between visits, and melt should be wiped from wood as soon as you see it.
