Twice a year works for most houses: once in late spring, after the pollen dies down, and once in fall. Dusty, pollen-heavy or coastal homes may need a clean every three to four months.
You don't have to clean the inside every time. To save, you can book one full clean and one outside-only visit each year.

Save money
What a plan saves
Most companies take 10% to 20% off when you book a recurring schedule. Two full cleans booked one at a time cost $300–$800; on a plan, about $240–$720.
03
Quarterly and outside-only service
Outside-only visits ($100–$285 each) are the cheap way to clean more often. Four a year on a plan cost about $320–$1,025, against $480–$1,440 for four full cleans.

Signs it's time
Streaks you can see in low sun, spots after rain or sprinklers, cobwebs in the corners and gritty tracks are all signs. Deal with hard water spots early — older spots are harder to lift.
