What Should You Be Cleaning Before Fall? Seasonal Deep Cleaning Tips
As the crisp air of fall approaches, it’s time to transition your home from summer to cooler days. A thorough seasonal deep clean will help maintain a cozy, fresh space while preventing dust and grime from building up over the colder months. Here’s a checklist of key areas to focus on before fall arrives.
Step 1: Clean Out Gutters & Outdoor Spaces
With falling leaves comes the dreaded clogged gutters. Cleaning them out now prevents water damage, ice buildup, and overflow issues. While outside, also:
- Sweep and store patio furniture properly
- Check weather stripping on doors and windows
- Clean and organize the garage before winter storage
Step 2: Refresh Carpets & Upholstery
After a summer of foot traffic, carpets and upholstered furniture could use a refresh. Deep cleaning now will eliminate dirt, allergens, and odors before closing up the house for the colder months. Try:
- Steam cleaning carpets for a deep refresh
- Washing throw blankets and cushion covers
- Vacuuming under furniture and in corners often missed
Step 3: Wash & Store Summer Linens
Before swapping to heavier bedding, make sure summer linens are properly cleaned and stored. Wash sheets, lightweight blankets, and summer clothing in hot water, then store them in airtight bins to keep them fresh until next year.
