Welcome to the LifeX community! π Weβre happy to have you on board and want to make sure everyone enjoys a clean, organized, and comfortable home throughout their stay π‘β¨
To support that goal, weβve created a cleaning framework with suggested routines and schedules β helpful whether you live alone or share your home with others.
π§Ή Why This Matters
Our housekeepers come every two weeks (Regular Services β may vary depending on your city) to help maintain shared spaces. However, please note:
Housekeepers do not deep clean the home
Members are expected to clean in between visits
A clean home = a happier, healthier living experience for everyone π
