A Clean Home Does Not Stay Clean on Its Own.
For most Madison families, the challenge is not the big clean – it is keeping up week after week when work, kids, and life fill every available hour. Legacy’s recurring cleaning service gives your home a consistent standard of clean without requiring you to manage it yourself.
We have served Madison and Dane County since 2010. Every cleaner on our team is background-checked and completes more than 40 hours of hands-on training before their first visit. The result is a service you can count on – not just the first time, but every time.
*Mina and Roger Ekenler have run Legacy Cleaning Services personally since 2010. Every cleaner on our team — we call them Angels — passes a background check and completes over 40 hours of hands-on training before stepping into a client’s home. We’re rated 4.9 stars on Google from 285 reviews, and we hold membership in ARCSI, the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International. Learn more about our hiring and training process.
Professional Maid Service on Your Schedule
Recurring cleaning. The kind where a trained team comes to your home on a set schedule and maintains it to a consistent standard, is what most people mean when they search for maid service. It is Legacy’s core service and has been since we opened.
Our recurring maid service is not a rotating crew of different faces each week. You are assigned a specific team who learns your home: which surfaces get the most use, which rooms need extra attention, and how you prefer things done. Over time, that familiarity produces better results than any new team walking in blind.
This service is available across Madison and throughout Dane County, including Sun Prairie, Middleton, Fitchburg, Verona, DeForest, Waunakee, and surrounding communities.
Weekly, Bi-Weekly, or Monthly – Choose What Fits Your Home
Different homes have different needs. A household with young children and pets stays dirtier faster than a two-person home where both adults work long hours. Legacy offers three recurring schedules so you can match the service to how your home actually lives.
Weekly Cleaning
Weekly service works best for high-traffic homes: families with young children, households with multiple pets, or anyone who wants their home maintained at a consistently high standard throughout the week. A weekly visit keeps dirt and buildup from accumulating, so each visit is a true maintenance clean rather than a catch-up.
Bi-Weekly Cleaning
Bi-weekly service is the most common choice for Madison households. A visit every two weeks gives your home enough attention to stay genuinely clean between appointments, without the commitment of a weekly schedule. It works well for couples, smaller families, and homes where at least one person stays on top of light tidying between visits.
Monthly Cleaning
Monthly service suits smaller households or people who keep up with day-to-day cleaning but want a thorough professional clean on a regular cadence. Each monthly visit is a comprehensive clean of your entire home, covering everything your daily routine does not reach.
What Happens During Every Recurring Visit
Every Legacy recurring visit follows a structured cleaning process. The checklist is the same regardless of which team member is assigned or which day of the week it falls on. Consistency is built into the process, not left to individual judgment.
These areas are cleaned by Legacy each visit:

The Same Team. The Same Standards. Every Time.
Most cleaning companies send whoever is available. Legacy assigns a dedicated team to each home from the start of the relationship.
That consistency matters for two reasons. First, your team learns your home. After a few visits, they know your floor plan, your preferences, and the spots that need the most attention. They do not need to be briefed each time, and you do not need to leave a note explaining the same thing repeatedly.
Second, familiarity builds accountability. A team that cleans the same home regularly has a stake in how that home looks. They see the results of their own work from visit to visit. That is a different working relationship than a rotating crew who never sees the same home twice.
Every Legacy cleaner is background-checked before their first assignment and completes more than 40 hours of hands-on training. <strong>We hire for attitude and train for skill</strong> because the right person with proper training consistently outperforms the wrong person with any amount of experience. This approach has produced a 99% client satisfaction rate across more than 5,300 Madison-area households.
What to Expect When You Start Recurring Service
Before your recurring schedule begins, Legacy completes a more thorough initial clean of your home. This first visit covers everything on the recurring checklist plus additional detail work: inside appliances, behind and underneath furniture, detailed baseboard cleaning, and other areas that regular maintenance visits do not reach at the same depth.
This initial clean matters because it establishes a baseline. When a home starts from a thoroughly cleaned state, each subsequent recurring visit is a true maintenance clean – faster to complete, more consistent in results, and easier for your team to maintain at a high standard. A home that starts dirty never quite catches up on a maintenance-only schedule.
After the initial visit, your team takes over on your chosen frequency. Most clients settle into a rhythm quickly: they know when to expect the team, what will be done, and what the home will look like when they get home that evening.
If your home needs significant work before establishing a recurring schedule, our deep cleaning service covers everything in greater depth before your recurring visits begin.
The service described above represents our default recurring cleaning services package. However, your specific needs, wants, and desires are important to us. Let us know how we can provide the best possible experience for you!
Frequently Asked Questions
The 30/3 rule means spending 30 minutes a day on three quick cleaning tasks to keep things tidy. It’s a simple habit for daily upkeep. A recurring cleaning plan builds that same rhythm on a set schedule, so the heavy lifting is already handled before you walk through the door.
Kitchens and bathrooms need attention every week. Other rooms can go a bit longer. A biweekly or weekly plan keeps every room on a house cleaning schedule without you tracking what’s due next. Check all the cleaning services we offer to see which option fits.
Rates depend on your home’s size, current condition, and how often we visit. There’s no flat answer that fits every household. Contact us at (608) 438-7516 for a custom quote based on your space and needs.
It splits daily tidying into three 10-minute blocks — one for clearing clutter, one for wiping surfaces, and one for sweeping or vacuuming floors. That covers the light stuff. Recurring visits take care of the deeper work so you only have to maintain between appointments.
A good monthly schedule rotates deep tasks like baseboards, windows, and appliance interiors across four weeks. Each week you focus on one area instead of doing everything at once. Pair that rotation with a recurring cleaning plan for consistent upkeep in between. If you’re moving into a new place, our move-in and move-out cleaning gives you a fresh start before setting up any schedule.
