It is October, and you know what that means! We get to experience the beauty of the leaves changing colors, as we bundle up into our cozy sweaters and enjoy the crisp fall air. However, with all this comfort and fun, there are some tasks that are less. pleasing. But they still have to be done to maintain a beautiful and clean home.
So, here are some fall cleaning errands that will help keep your house in order:
- Clean the windows
It is a good idea to wash all the windows from the outside when the fall weather starts. If you have window covers, have them washed too.
- Carpet cleaning
Carpets are something not many people use in the summers, it is hot, and marble floors are cooler and more preferable in the heat. But then when fall starts, and it begins to cool, we tend to pull out our rugs or carpets and put them down. Before you do so, however, it is best to have them washed and cleaned, so there is no dust on them from storage.
- Sweep the chimneys
Fall is about the time you start using your fireplaces, so it is best to have them cleaned and swept in the beginning of the season.
- Clean out the attic
Another task that no one wants to do in the summer or winter, because it is either too hot or too cold. Fall is the best season to clean such a big area. Take a day to go through all your belongings, and throw or donate what you do not need, and organize that what you do need.
- Clean the walls
Although it is not always noticeable, your walls can gather a lot of dust and dirt during the year. Having them cleaned with a simple sponge and some water is a good idea, and once it is done, you will notice a major difference in its appearance and color.
- Cupboard wipe down
Just like your walls, you do not tend to notice the dust and dirt gathering on your cupboard doors. In the case of kitchen cupboards, grim and grease can also gather onto the wooden doors, so wipe down them once every fall to stop it from building up and ultimately looking horrendous.
- Declutter
Whether it is a book shelf, cupboard, cabinet, anything, take advantage of the pleasant weather and declutter your house of anything you do not need or use.
- Clean the Gutters
This is a job that should be done every season, to avoid them from getting blocked, and fall is no exception. Hire a professional, or even do it yourself, it is an easy job to do.
- Drain the Pool
If you own a pool, chances of using it in the autumn or winter is very little. It is best to drain it before it has a chance of freezing in the winter.
So here you have it, nine things to do in the beautiful season of fall!
