A schedule in Grand Rapids has to deal with more than a typical household mess. The airport averages 77.6 inches of snow a year, and every boot brings salt and grit along with it. April, May and October then add rain on top of that.

When TotalCare Cleaning comes to the Greater Grand Rapids area, a Recurring House Clean will be available on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly plan, with bi-weekly starting prices such as $229.00 for the three bedroom row. The first visit of any plan is an Initial Deep Clean.

What the local year does to a house

Grand Rapids' airport averages about 67 days a year with at least one inch of snow on the ground. The city salts its 19 major first-attention routes and applies calcium chloride to bridges, hills and curves when conditions warrant. That brine dries into a white film on hardwood and tile, and fine grit left under a mop can scratch a finish.

Normal annual precipitation is 39.40 inches, with October, May and April the wettest months at about 4 inches each. In summer, the mean dew point rises to about 61 degrees in July compared with about 19 in January, so bathrooms dry more slowly than they do in winter.

Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly

Weekly suits a large household, several pets, or someone with allergies who wants floors and surfaces kept up closely. Snowy months are when this choice earns its keep most.

Bi-weekly is what most families settle on. Two weeks is about as long as a kitchen floor, the main bathroom and an entry can go in a Grand Rapids winter before they start to look neglected.

Monthly suits one or two people in a smaller home with no pets. It can work well in the drier months, and it may fall short in January and February if people are tracking in a lot of salt.

What each visit covers, and what it does not

A recurring visit looks after kitchens, bathrooms, floors and the general dusting of a home in use. The Initial Deep Clean at the start also adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place, degreased cabinet fronts, treated shower glass, detailed faucets and soaked stovetop grates. After that, later visits maintain what that first visit achieved.

The inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets belongs to the Moving Clean, and interior windows are an add-on. Prices are priced by the home, not by the hour, and they appear in the table on this page, with the first deep visit at $395.00 for the three bedroom row.

Matching the plan to the type of home

About 37.5 percent of Grand Rapids homes were built before 1940, and in those houses a regular schedule also protects old wood floors from grit. About 17 percent of housing units are in buildings with 10 or more units, where a smaller floor plan makes monthly or bi-weekly a modest commitment.

In East Grand Rapids, rear-yard pickup means trash containers stay by the house rather than at the curb, so tell your cleaner where they are. Lake Michigan water at about 142 milligrams per liter of hardness also leaves spots on glass, so a squeegee between visits helps. The hard water guide has more.

Getting more from each visit

Pick up clothes and toys so floors can be reached, and clear counters if you can. Keep a boot tray by the door in winter, and shake out mats between visits. If something needs special attention this time, say so at the start. Say which rooms sit closed so the time goes where the wear is. Let the cleaner know about pets, stone counters and anything that should be left where it is, and pass along any gate code or garage arrangement ahead of the first visit.

Changing the schedule is a normal part of this. Many households in a snowy climate might go bi-weekly through winter and mud season, then monthly through the drier part of summer. The seasonal guide lays out which months are likely to need more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grand Rapids Recurring cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

On the current Grand Rapids 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 households, because salt and grit build up quickly with 77.6 inches of normal snowfall a year at the airport. Larger households and homes with several pets may do better on a weekly schedule during the winter months.
A plan can be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, and it is reasonable to choose differently as your household changes. Many people in this climate want more help when salt and mud are at their worst, and less in the drier part of summer.
For one or two people with no pets, often yes, especially outside the snowy months. Floors and entries may look tired by the end of a month in January. Try it, and move to bi-weekly if the salt film starts to win.
The first visit of a plan is an Initial Deep Clean, which adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, fans and vents, cabinet fronts and faucet detail. Later visits maintain that standard, so they cost less.
