It depends on the size of the home and the extent of cleaning, but generally, a housekeeper can clean three to five rooms per day. If deep cleaning is needed, they may focus on fewer rooms. It’s always a good idea to discuss your expectations and the time required with your cleaner upfront.

The best method for keeping your grout clean depends on the level of staining or discoloration. For light cleaning, use warm water and a stiff brush (specifically made for cleaning grout). 

Tougher jobs call for a one-to-one solution of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the area down, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then scrub with your brush. For even more cleaning power, add water to baking soda until it creates a paste and apply it before the vinegar. If the mess is too much, you can call a local tile and grout cleaner.

As a general rule, you should clean your oven at least every three months, though this depends on how often you use it and the amount of residue buildup. A clear sign that your oven needs cleaning is if you notice smoke or a burning smell during use. Many ovens have a self-cleaning cycle, which heats the oven to an extreme temperature. If you use this feature, stay home while it runs and consider ventilating the room, as it can create smoke. For manual cleaning, you can make a paste of baking soda and water or use white vinegar before resorting to harsher, store-bought oven cleaners.

Many housekeepers offer move-out cleaning services. However, your housekeeper is likely to charge a higher rate for this service since move-outs typically require more extensive deep cleaning than a standard housekeeping service.
