It really depends on how your house is used and how dirty it gets and how clean it needs to be for you to feel comfortable.

I have 4 cats and 2 dogs and two children under the age of 6 and a husband that often comes homes muddy from sport - so my house never stays clean for long. If I were to only deep clean once a year the filth would be so caked on it would look like a horror house from one of those dreadful tv shows about filthy houses. And I always imagine what it would be like to have a lovely fluffy carpet and pale pink cushions and clean once a week and the house to be lovely and clean and orderly - but with everyone who lives in my house that’s just not possible right now.

If your doors aren’t covered in marmite hand prints and skirting boards splattered with mud and your window frames aren’t decorated with a layer of cat hair - then I’d say clean as often as you think and if that’s once a year then that’s fine.
