Crisp air, colored leaves, school starting, and holidays on the horizon—fall is full of so many activities, so cleaning your house may not be at the top of your to-do list. But while spring cleaning is something we’ve all heard of, fall cleaning can be just as important.
What Is Fall Cleaning?
Like spring cleaning, fall cleaning involves deep cleaning your home. More than just quickly vacuuming the carpets and wiping down the counters, deep cleaning digs into the details, from cleaning appliances to mopping floors.
It’s recommended that you deep clean your home every six to twelve months. So, if you’re already giving your home a thorough spring cleaning, fall cleaning can help your home stay sparkling the rest of the year.
What Is the Purpose of Fall Cleaning?
Fall cleaning helps prepare your home for cooler weather and spending more time indoors. If dirt or pollen has built up over the spring and summer months, it’s time to clear it away, so you can breathe comfortably while indoors.
It’s also helpful to think about those autumnal activities you’ll enjoy as the seasons change to help guide your cleaning process. Sitting with a good book by the fire? You’ll want a clean chimney first. Cooking for the holidays? Deep clean your refrigerator, oven, and other appliances, and check the batteries in your smoke alarm.
Avoid Feeling Overwhelmed
Deep cleaning your home can feel like an overwhelming task, no matter what season it is when you choose to take on the challenge. Prioritizing, planning, and cleaning a little at a time can help you accomplish a great deal. But fall is a busy season, and there’s no shame in asking for help if you can’t quite find enough time for cleaning in your schedule—or if you’d just rather be spending time with your family and friends.
