With winter on its way, your house needs a little prepping with some end of fall cleaning. Since winter leaves many of us stuck inside more than usual, having a clean home is highly desired. Get ready for long hours indoors with your definitive fall cleaning checklist.
Kitchen
Your kitchen can sometimes be your most problematic area during the winter, especially around the holidays when the whole family gathers to chow down on your food. Having it cleaned and prepared beforehand will really help you this winter season:
● Dump any expired foods and organize your pantry to make room for new food
● Deep clean your oven and dishwasher
● Wipe down your fridge, top to bottom, inside out. Remove any expired food from within your fridge
● Clean your smoke detectors and be sure to replace the batteries to be covered for any potential turkey burning
● Clean grease and grime stains from your kitchen cabinets
● Clean out your stove vent and filter
Bathroom
No one likes a dirty bathroom. Here’s how you can prep for winter:
● Clean bathroom air vents to allow the air to flow better
● Replace your shower curtain or liner
● Deep clean the toilet, bathtub, and sink
● Organize any hair products, makeup, and toiletries. Make sure everything has a place
Bedroom
Sleeping quarters for you and your guests can be ready for winter by:
● Flip the mattresses and replace linens
● Declutter and organize your closets
● Pack away summer clothing, leaving room for your fall/winter clothes
● Dust your baseboards, walls, and ceiling. If you have a ceiling fan, dust that first to work smarter, not harder
● Vacuum everywhere, including under the bed
Living Room
As the room that you will spend the most time in, cleaning it is very important:
● Shampoo carpets or polish wood floors
● Clean sofa cushions. Can be done with a vacuum
● Clean light fixtures, in and around
● Dust blinds, shelves, and other surfaces that collect dust
● Wash all windows to let more light inside
