Join the Opening List →A climate that does not take much of a break calls for a schedule that does not either. Wilmington averages about 45 inches of precipitation a year on roughly 122 days, and it is spread fairly evenly across the months. So the entry floor stays busy in all four seasons, not just one.
TotalCare Cleaning will offer the Recurring House Clean weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. This guide looks at how to pick among them and how local weather, pests and the layout of a home affect that choice.
Many places have one muddy stretch. Wilmington has about 122 precipitation days a year, or about one in three, and no month gets a real pass. Wet shoes and damp coats are routine, so entry floors and stair treads need steady care.
The climate is humid subtropical, with hot, humid summers and cool to cold winters. Air like that makes bathroom surfaces slow to dry, and grout shows it first. About 21 days a year reach 90 degrees or hotter, not a huge number, but enough to keep air conditioners running and windows shut during the worst of it. Seasonal snowfall of about 20 inches can add salt and grit, although totals vary widely from year to year.
Bi-weekly plans start at $160.00 for the smallest home and run $160.00 to $497.00 across the five sizes. Here is how the options tend to sort out.
Local insects can influence when a visit is most useful. Adult spotted lanternflies appear as early as July, and most die off by the end of December. They release sticky honeydew that grows black sooty mold and draws wasps and ants where they feed, and that residue can get tracked from a porch to an entry floor. Keep a mat at the door during those months, and rinse off porch rails and steps from time to time. House cleaning does not cover exteriors, though regular visits will keep up with what comes in.
The brown marmorated stink bug is established in Delaware and survives winter by entering houses when autumn evenings turn cold. In a house with old window frames, that may mean a steady trickle on sills and in tracks. A vacuum handles them with the least fuss, and regular visits help keep those areas clear.
A plan looks a little different depending on the home. In a Wilmington rowhouse, the stairs and small baths are the heart of each visit, and with about 43 percent of units built in 1939 or earlier, surfaces need gentle care. Keep a vacuum or broom on each floor if you can, since the stairs make it harder to fetch one between visits.
In a New Castle County detached home, with more floor and more windows, visits tend to be about covering ground. About 53 percent of county homes are detached. For a large home, bi-weekly usually makes more sense than monthly, because a month of wear across several bathrooms takes much more work to catch up on.
Every plan begins with an Initial Deep Clean, which handles the baseboards, blinds, window tracks and shower glass that regular visits do not fully reach. Regular visits then keep the home at that level. To make them work well, clear counters and floors the evening before, and keep a good mat at each door. Run the bath fan after showers through the humid months, and change your air filter on schedule. Small steps like these let a cleaner spend the visit on actual cleaning. A wider view of the year is in the seasonal calendar.
