Zabitatz is here to help with a checklist of tasks for your fall cleaning. Check them off one project at a time and before you know it, you’ll be enjoying a cozy winter in a clean and organized home.
Let’s start off simple…
- Thoroughly dust all the rooms in your house taking everything off of shelves and getting every corner.
- Vacuum/Sweep all floors moving furniture out of the way as you go so you are cleaning every inch. Make not of any areas that will need extra cleaning
- Wipe down walls and closet doors.
- Wash or dry-clean curtains and drapes and wipe down blinds and shades.
- Pull out those heavy blankets and bedding and make sure they’re fresh and clean.
- Clean and air out area rugs.
Step it up a notch…
- Clean all your outdoor furniture and store it in your garage or basement to protect is during the winter months.
- Pull out dead annuals from outdoor flower pots and store them for next year.
- Clean out the gutters. You’ll want to wait until after all the leaves have fallen off the trees so you don’t have to do it again. While you’re up on the ladder, take a look at the roof and make sure it’s ready for winter.
- Rake the leaves and clean up any debris in the yard to protect your lawn and help it come back strong next spring. .
- Clean the windows inside and out, change out your screens for storm windows.
The nitty gritty…
- Rotate summer to winter wardrobes in your closet. Get rid of any summer clothes that you didn’t wear over the summer.
- Clean the grill and put it in the garage or make sure it is covered securely.
- Have your chimneys cleaned and clean out any wood stoves or fire places.
- Clean out the refrigerator including the coils on the back. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and clean underneath.
- Have your heating system checked. Change any air filters, dust baseboard heaters and clean vents.
