Q1: Spring Allergen Reset (Jan-Mar)
Juniper and cypress pollen peak in winter and early spring. Dust mites have had months to build. A full deep clean in Q1 lowers the allergen load before olive and mesquite pollen arrive in April.

Tucson's Cleaning Calendar Is Not Like the Rest of the Country
National cleaning guides say to spring clean in March and not worry again until December. Tucson does not work that way. Desert pollen peaks in spring. Monsoon dust storms hit from June 15 through September. Snowbirds return in October and stir up months of vacancy dust. Holiday hosting arrives in Q4. Each season has a clear cleaning need. Alex's crew of 3 to 4 handles the deep-clean layer so you focus on prep.
Q2: Pre-Monsoon Deep Clean (Apr-Jun)
Monsoon season starts June 15. Clean window tracks, entry zones, and soft furniture before the first dust storm. Change HVAC filters no later than June 1. This is the most important seasonal clean.
Q3: Post-Dust-Storm Recovery (Jul-Sep)
Monsoon storms track caliche mud and fine grit indoors. Tile floors, window sills, and door thresholds need attention after every major storm. A Q3 clean removes what repeated wipe-downs leave behind.
Q4: Snowbird Return and Holiday Hosting (Oct-Dec)
Many Tucson homes sit empty from April to October. Vacancy dust settles on every area. A return clean before snowbird season and a pre-holiday deep clean are the two most common Q4 requests we see.
What Alex's Handles Each Season
- Q1: HEPA vacuum of all floors and soft furniture.
- Q1: Ceiling fans, baseboards, and HVAC vents dusted.
- Q2: Window tracks, door thresholds, and entry tile cleaned.
- Q2: Fridge and oven cleaned before summer heat builds.
- Q3: Hard floors mopped and mineral haze removed after storm tracking.
- Q3: Bathroom scrub after higher humidity from monsoon rains.
- Q4: Full deep clean after extended vacancy for returning owners.
- Q4: Pre-guest clean covering all rooms before holiday visitors arrive.
Alex's Recurring Plans by Season
Clients pay less per visit the more often we come, from quarterly down to weekly. Your exact rate is locked in after your first deep clean — usually about half the first-visit price. Every new client starts with a Deep Clean before the first recurring visit. Deep Clean pricing: $439 for 1 bedroom, $549 for 2 bedrooms, $699 for 3 bedrooms.
Tucson's cleaning rhythm differs from the national two-times-a-year norm. Desert homes collect fine particles all the time. Summer heat bakes grease onto kitchen areas faster. Monsoon humidity can grow mold in bathrooms if deep cleaning is skipped. Three to four deep cleans per year is a more realistic target for Tucson homes.
