How often a home needs help depends on the people in it and on what the weather brings to the door. In Fort Wayne the weather brings a good deal: snow and salt, then mud, then rain. This guide runs through how each schedule handles a northern Indiana year.

A Fort Wayne year from a floor's point of view

December through March means snow. Normal annual snowfall is 33.6 inches, with 7.6 in December, 10.8 in January and 7.8 in February. About 11 days a year bring an inch or more of new snow, and about 38 have at least an inch on the ground. Salt and slush end up on mats and floors. With a January dew point near 20 degrees, dry air keeps dust moving too.

March through June means mud. March still averages 4.6 inches of snow, April brings 3.74 inches of precipitation, and May and June are the wettest months at 4.58 and 4.48 inches. In all, Fort Wayne averages about 77 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of precipitation.

July through October is the easier stretch. About 16 days a year reach 90 degrees, dew points of about 63 in July mean mild stickiness, and October brings the median first freeze around October 21.

Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly

Bi-weekly starts at $138.00 on the smallest row, and the range across the table is $138.00 to $441.00. You can change frequency as your household changes.

How the plan changes with the house

Older homes. About 47 percent of city units were built before 1970, and some Wayne Township neighborhoods go back much further. Regular light dusting is far gentler on old trim and plaster than an occasional heavy scrub, so a steady plan helps protect a home like that as well as cleaning it.

Newer subdivisions. Around Huntertown or Leo-Cedarville, where many homes have four or more bedrooms, square footage drives the work. Most of those households find that bi-weekly fits.

Renters. About 38 percent of occupied homes in the city are rented. A monthly or bi-weekly plan in a smaller unit keeps the kitchen and bathroom under control, and it makes the end of a lease much less stressful.

Pests, leaves and other outdoor things

The Allen County Department of Health uses integrated pest management against rodents and mosquitoes, and it offers resident guidance on ticks, bed bugs and cockroaches. A clean kitchen with no crumbs on the floor is your part of that, and regular visits help, but active pests need a pest professional.

Leaves belong to a schedule of their own. Fort Wayne's Street Department collects fall leaves in November and December, and leaves may not go in the garbage cart. Keeping a yard raked means fewer fragments on the entry mat, and it is one more thing that does not end up on your floors.

Between visits, the single most useful habit in this climate is simple: a coarse mat outside, a washable one inside, and shoes off by the door from the first snow until the mud dries up.

Getting a plan started

The first visit of a plan is an Initial Deep Clean, which catches up the baseboards, blinds, tracks and vents. After that, each visit concentrates on kitchens, bathrooms, floors and dusting. Add-ons such as interior windows are one-time extras you can choose whenever you want them.

The seasonal calendar shows what is worth adding through the year, and the winter guide has more on dealing with salt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Wayne Recurring cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

On the current Fort Wayne 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.
Many households do. About 38 days a year have at least an inch of snow on the ground, so salt and slush keep coming in. Moving from monthly to bi-weekly through winter can make sense, then back again once the mud dries. A good pair of mats helps at any frequency.
For a small household with no pets, usually yes. For a three bedroom with children or a dog, it is often a stretch, particularly from March through June. May and June average 4.58 and 4.48 inches of precipitation, and that shows up on floors long before a month has gone by.
January's average dew point is about 20 degrees, so heated indoor air gets very dry. Dust stays airborne longer and clings to screens through static. Changing furnace filters on time, using a humidifier if you like, and dusting with a slightly damp cloth all help. Regular visits take care of the rest.
It helps with the conditions pests like, such as crumbs and food residue. The Allen County Department of Health offers guidance on bed bugs, cockroaches, ticks, rodents and mosquitoes. If you have an active problem, call a pest professional, because cleaners do not treat for pests.
