Did you know that, on average, a seasonal clean usually takes around 6 days to complete?
Most people will note that window cleaning is on their priority list when it comes to fall cleaning, as well as closets, drawers, ceiling fans, and carpet cleaning.
That’s a long list of fall cleaning tasks to get through! As the famous Stark family would say, winter is coming, so it’s time for your fall cleaning to commence. Keep reading for the best advice for a home that looks clean and feels great.
The Upside To Fall Cleaning
Aside from having a house that smells so good, looks so good, and feels so good to come home to, what are the other not-so-obvious benefits to having a seasonal clean in fall?
Well, to start with, as you near the season of silliness where we all have family and friends coming over more often for Christmas celebrations and others, a fall clean means your home is going to be a source of pride for you when visitors walk through the door.
Also, the fact remains, come winter, you’ll be spending more time indoors. Wouldn’t you like to be doing that in a home that is more organized and clean?
If the thought still overwhelms you, there are professional services that can help you with your fall cleaning.
1. Stock Up On Supplies
When you’re heading toward that fall cleaning to-do list, you need to ensure that you have all the cleaning supplies that you need.
Go methodically room by room and make a list of everything that you need as you head towards the big day. Think of chemicals, gloves, washcloths, and even new bags for the vacuum!
2. Do A Room By Room
You may think simply diving in headfirst is okay, but soon after starting, you may start feeling overwhelmed and worrying about when you’ll see the finish line.
Make yourself a list of all the rooms in your home, and outside too, that you’d like to get done, and break down the tasks you want to achieve in each of them. Ticking it off as you go will keep you motivated!
3. Don’t Neglect The Garage And Car
Most people think of the garage and the car as standalone places that don’t really form ‘part of the home’. Truth is, it’s not great to walk out of a wonderfully organized, clean home through a filthy garage and climb into a car that is packed with takeaway packets and empty coffee cups.
Add the garage and cleaning your car to your fall cleaning list, you’ll feel accomplished because of it!
Fall Cleaning And Feeling Fantastic!
Seasonal cleaning can make your home feel like a brand new, sparkling, clean home. If you make yourself a fall cleaning checklist and stick to your guns, your home will be shining in no time.
Stay on top of your progress though by doing a small bit every day to ensure that you’re not back to square one when spring rolls around.
