This quick guide will give you some tips on cleaning your home in autumn.
- Getting rid of dust, mould and dander
When spending a lot of time inside, you can trap the dust in our homes. This can result in making you sick. Therefore, it’s essential to keep the inside of your house clean.
Air Conditioner/Heater – Make sure to clean or change the HVAC filter monthly through the winter
Carpets – Clean the carpets with the right products and vacuum them properly. Rug cleaning machines are very helpful too.
Bedding – All bedding should be washed and prepared. Wash them with very hot weather to kill any bacteria and dust mites. Don’t forget to wash the bedding weekly during winter.
- Clean the kitchen
We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so it should be a clean, nice and happy place. While you think this will take a lot of time, it will go fast once you start doing it. Make sure to:
Clean the dishwasher – While its purpose is cleaning, it can get really dirty, so make sure to clean it.
Wash the refrigerator – It might be the most important thing in the kitchen. Remove everything from it and clean it accordingly.
Clean the stove – It’s not going to be pleasant, but it’s essential to have a clean stove if you want to make baking more fun.
- Clean the windows
With the change of the weather, condensation can happen and make the windows dirty. A clean glass gives your home better light, so make sure to clean the inside and the outside as well.
- Clean the roof gutters
While it might not sound like the most pleasant thing to do, you should know that the outside of the house is as important as the inside. Besides, clean gutters make your house a healthier environment. Make sure to properly clean the roof gutters.
- Clean the washing machine
Your clothes might come out looking clean and smelling like roses, but there may be some dirt left inside the washing machine. If you get closer to the drum, you could smell damn. Mould can be found if you take the drawer out. Therefore, it’s important to clean the washing machine as well.
- Clean behind and on top of furniture
There are many places in your home that you don’t clean on a daily basis. Usually, a lot of dust gathers on top of furniture and behind it. Use the autumn cleaning to get rid of the unwanted dust.
