Every home is different. So is every routine, schedule, and standard for what “clean” looks like. That’s why at Better Life Maids, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all cleaning. We offer both one-time and recurring house cleaning services in St. Louis to meet you exactly where you are, whether you’re looking for a major reset or a way to keep things fresh week after week.
So how do you decide which type of service fits your lifestyle best? Let’s break it down.
What Is a One-Time Cleaning and Who Is It For?
A one-time cleaning is a detailed, deep refresh of your space. It’s perfect when your home needs a serious pick-me-up or you just want to hand off the scrubbing and dusting to the pros for a day.
Most one-time cleanings are booked for specific moments:
- You’re preparing for out-of-town guests or a holiday gathering.
- You’re settling into a new home or moving out of your old one.
- It’s spring, fall, or post-construction, and you need a full reset.
- Life’s gotten busy, and your to-do list is overwhelming.
Our one-time services aren’t just surface-level. We tackle dust, buildup, and forgotten corners with the same care and eco-friendly approach we bring to all of our cleanings. Every visit uses plant-based, non-toxic Better Life products that are safe for your family, your pets, and your space.
A one-time clean is a great way to see and feel the difference a professional, natural cleaning service can make, without any long-term commitment.
What Is Recurring Cleaning and Why Might It Be a Better Fit?
If you’re constantly tidying up but never quite feel caught up, recurring service could be your secret weapon. With weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly scheduling options, recurring cleaning is all about maintaining the peace of mind that comes from a consistently clean home without the pressure of doing it all yourself.
Recurring cleaning is ideal for:
- Busy families balancing work, school, and everything in between.
- Professionals with limited time to deep clean regularly.
- Households with pets, allergies, or a need for frequent freshening up.
- Anyone who wants to reduce stress and create a calmer home environment.
One of the best parts about recurring service? It gets better over time. Because we get to know your space, preferences, and routines, we’re able to deliver a more efficient, customized clean with every visit.
And don’t worry, we’re flexible. You can change your schedule, add extras, or adjust priorities as your needs evolve.
Still Not Sure Which You Need? Ask Yourself These Questions
To decide between a one-time clean and recurring service, start with how your home operates day to day:
- How often do you clean now? Are you keeping up, or constantly falling behind?
- Do you feel overwhelmed by the upkeep? Would regular help reduce stress?
- Are you preparing for an event, a season change, or a life transition?
- Is a healthier, more consistent home environment something you’re actively working toward?
If you’re unsure, some of our clients like to start with a one-time deep clean, then transition into recurring maintenance. Others book recurring service from the start to prevent ever needing a deep clean again.
