Why Fall Cleaning Matters

 

Spring cleaning gets all the attention, but Fall cleaning is just as important. As we transition from summer to cooler months, our homes need attention in different areas. Fall cleaning helps you:

• Remove summer dust and allergens before sealing up your home for winter
• Organize spaces before holiday decorating begins
• Prepare guest rooms and common areas for upcoming visitors
• Deep clean areas that were neglected during busy summer months
• Create efficient storage solutions for seasonal items

Fall Cleaning Tips for Success

 

Create a cleaning schedule: Don’t try to do everything in one day. Break tasks into manageable chunks over a week or two.

Declutter first, organize second: Before buying organization products, purge items you no longer need. You might need less storage than you think!

Use the four-box method: As you clean each room, use four boxes labeled Keep, Donate, Trash, and Relocate. This speeds up the decluttering process.

Work top to bottom: Always clean from ceiling to floor so dust and debris fall to areas you haven’t cleaned yet.

Maintain as you go: Once you’ve completed your fall cleaning and organization, maintain it with quick daily tidying and weekly cleaning routines.
