Join the Opening List →The right cleaning schedule depends less on how tidy a household is and more on what the outside world keeps carrying in. In Birmingham that is a lot: rain on about 81 days a year, tree pollen that can begin before winter ends, and a long, damp summer that invites roaches and mildew.
This guide walks through how TotalCare Cleaning will match a Recurring House Clean schedule to those conditions, and what each visit includes.
Wet months. The airport normal is 56.62 inches of rain a year, with March the wettest month at 5.66 inches. About 18 days a year bring an inch or more. Every one of those days means wet shoes, damp dogs and grit along the entry floor and hallway runners.
Pollen. In the South, trees may release pollen as early as December or January, and the national tree peak runs February through April. Ragweed takes over around August. Between them, sills, blinds and dark furniture rarely stay clean for long.
Summer. Normal dew points near 70 degrees in July and 69 in August, with 65 days a year at 90 or above, mean the air conditioning runs constantly and bathrooms stay damp.
Pests. The Jefferson County Department of Health tells residents to remove moisture and seal cracks to deter cockroaches and to empty standing water to stop mosquitoes. Crumbs and damp corners are what draw roaches indoors, so steady kitchen and bathroom cleaning matters here.
Most Birmingham households land on bi-weekly. Two weeks is about as long as entry floors and bathrooms go in a wet, humid climate before they start to look neglected, and it keeps pollen from turning into a film on every flat surface.
Weekly makes sense for homes with several children, more than one dog or cat, or someone with allergies or asthma. It also suits larger suburban houses: in Vestavia Hills and Hoover the median home has around seven rooms, so there is simply more floor and more bathroom to keep up with.
Monthly works for a small apartment with one or two people and no pets, especially in the drier fall months. October is the driest month of the normal year, so the gap between visits shows the least then.
Each visit covers kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas: counters and sinks, the outside of appliances, tubs, showers and toilets, mirrors, floors vacuumed and mopped, and trash taken to the outdoor bins. Every visit also dusts reachable baseboards and blind slats, which is where Birmingham pollen and summer dust tend to sit.
The first visit of any plan is an Initial Deep Clean. In a city where the median house was built in 1965, that first visit is often where years of buildup on trim, fans and vents gets handled, so later visits can stay focused on upkeep.
A schedule does not have to stay fixed all year. Some households move from monthly to bi-weekly from late winter through spring, when tree pollen is heaviest, then back again once the leaves are fully out. Others add an extra visit after a run of stormy days in March, the wettest month.
Summer is the time to keep the schedule steady. With humid air and the county health department pointing to moisture as the thing that invites both roaches and mildew, the bathrooms and kitchen need regular attention most when the weather is hottest.
Bi-weekly Recurring House Cleans run $138.00 to $441.00 per visit across the five home sizes. A one bedroom, one bath home is $138.00, a three bedroom, two bath home is $229.00, and a five bedroom, four bath house is $441.00. Supplies are included.
