Here are some October cleaning tips to help homeowners prepare for the cooler months and keep their homes cozy and clean:
- Deep Clean Windows and Window Treatments
Windows: With cooler weather approaching, this is a great time to clean your windows and allow more natural light into the house.
Curtains/Blinds: Take down and wash curtains or dust and wipe down blinds to remove accumulated dust and allergens. - Clean and Store Outdoor Furniture
Wash and dry patio furniture, umbrellas, and cushions before storing them to prevent mildew or damage over the winter. - Deep Clean the Kitchen
With holiday baking and cooking coming up, now is a great time to clean the oven, degrease the stovetop, and clear out and wipe down pantry shelves. - Leaf Removal
Clean up leaves and debris from gutters to prevent blockages and water damage.
Regularly rake leaves from the yard to prevent dead patches and mold growth on your lawn. - Disinfect Frequently Touched Surfaces
Cold and flu season is around the corner, so make sure to regularly disinfect surfaces like light switches, doorknobs, and remotes.
These tips help ensure homes are fresh and ready for fall and winter, while also reducing allergens and improving energy efficiency.
