In a wet climate, a cleaning schedule is about mud and mildew. In Albuquerque it is about dust, and it barely lets up. That makes the right interval easier to judge once you know what to look for.

Here is how to choose, whether you live in an apartment near UNM, an older house in the city or a newer home in Rio Rancho. The goal is a schedule you will not have to rethink every few weeks, one that matches your own floors and windows rather than an average.

What moves through an Albuquerque home each year

January through May are very dry, at 0.36 to 0.51 inches of precipitation a month. Dust is at its most noticeable, and the city counts airborne pollen every day, including tree pollen and later chenopods like tumbleweed.

June through August bring the heat, with about 64 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter, nearly all in that span. The monsoon typically begins in mid June, and July's 1.64 inches is the wettest of any month. Storms can leave mud at the door for a day or two, then the ground is dry again.

Fall and winter are gentler. About 93 nights a year are at or below freezing, 70 of them from December through February, and wood smoke can become a concern, with the city able to issue burning restrictions from October to February. It notes that smoke can pollute your home, so a fireplace household will see more fine dust and soot.

Picking an interval

Try the option that matches your household, then adjust. If flat surfaces show dust well before the next visit, shorten it. If the team finds very little, lengthen it.

What each visit covers

Each visit handles kitchens, bathrooms, floors and dusting. The first is an Initial Deep Clean, which adds baseboards, blinds, window tracks, fans, vents, cabinet fronts, shower glass, faucets and grates. Later visits maintain those areas.

The inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets is part of a Moving Clean. Interior windows are an add-on. If a home starts to feel behind after a long stretch, a One-Time Deep Clean can be added at any time.

Keeping minerals and pollen down between visits

The Water Authority describes its water as moderately hard to hard. Minerals stay behind wherever water evaporates, which happens very quickly in this air. A quick wipe of shower glass and faucets after use does more than occasional scrubbing. If faucet aerators clog with white particles, the Authority says it may be calcium carbonate scale from the water heater, and recommends flushing the heater.

Pollen is another matter of timing. Albuquerque adopted its Pollen Control Ordinance in 1994 for a reason, and restricts high pollen trees like most elms, cottonwoods and male junipers. Keeping windows closed when counts are high, and checking the city's daily report, helps a recurring plan do its job.

Pests and closed-up rooms

The New Mexico Department of Health says hantavirus spreads from infected rodents through urine, droppings or saliva. A recurring plan cannot prevent rodents, and a visit is not a substitute for its cleanup steps. If you find droppings, follow that guidance first. Keeping crumbs and pet food off the floor is the simple everyday step that helps.

What a plan costs

The bi-weekly row runs $138.00 to $441.00, from $138.00 for a one bedroom to $229.00 for a three bedroom and $441.00 for a five bedroom. These are starting prices, priced by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included. Weekly and monthly plans use the same rate card. See the cost page and the dust guide for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Albuquerque Recurring cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

On the current Albuquerque 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.
For a small home with one or two people, it can be, as long as you run a quick duster over surfaces between visits. For a family home, the very dry months from January through May often make bi-weekly feel more comfortable.
Usually not. Monsoon rain tends to come in short bursts, with July the wettest month at just 1.64 inches. Some mud appears at the door after a storm, and it dries quickly. Regular visits generally handle it without any need to change your interval.
It helps with what has settled indoors. The City of Albuquerque counts pollen every day, and its ordinance reflects a long local problem. Regular dusting and floor care remove what comes inside, while severe symptoms are something to discuss with a doctor.
Expect more fine dust and soot near it. The city can restrict wood burning from October to February and notes that wood smoke can pollute your home. A shorter interval during the burning months may help, and the first visit will wipe vents and blinds in place.
