Get Ready for the Holidays
Fall should remind us that the holidays are on their way, and it’s time to get some cleaning accomplished before the weather changes.
Fall is an excellent time for cleaning because the weather is a bit cooler in Florida. You won’t find yourself exhausted in the heat as we all do in the summer months, taking care of the yardwork.
It’s also good to do some yearly indoor tasks such as pulling out seasonal clothes or purging papers.
Where to Start
While cleaning your home might be routine, you may not know where to start your holiday cleaning. Fall cleaning checklists are a great way to prepare your cleaning chores and determine where you may need some help.
One way to do this is to break cleaning chores up by room or group them by difficulty. While many tasks on the list might be things you do weekly or even monthly, it is essential to give them extra attention during the holiday season.
Clean Curtains
Clean curtains regularly because they are a significant source of dust and allergens. Be sure to read the labels on your curtains to see if they need to be dry cleaned or hand-washed. Takedown all curtains and wash them. Don’t forget to wipe down the curtain rods before you put the curtains back up.
Clean Walls
Walls can build up grime and dust over time, especially in high traffic areas like the kitchen or bathrooms. Dust and wipe down all barriers. Spot clean any places that need extra attention. Vacuum and wipe down all baseboards. Be sure to get the corners and areas behind the furniture.
Clean Light Fixtures
Dust and wipe all light fixtures—dust ceiling fan blades. Check and replace any bulbs that are out with LED lights.
Vacuum and Clean Upholstered Furniture and Cushions
Vacuum all upholstered furniture using the hose on your vacuum. Be sure to remove all cushions to get anything that may have fallen between the cushions. Use a stain remover to combat any stains.
Clean Kitchen Cabinets and Appliances
Clean out all cabinets and throw away any expired food. Wipeout all cabinets and reorganize as you replace everything. Be sure to wipe down the fronts of cabinets. Clean out your refrigerator and wipe down all shelving. Deep clean your oven and microwave.
Clean Carpets
Vacuum and spot clean your carpets. It’s also a great time to have your carpets deep cleaned. Hire a professional cleaning company like Crystal Cleaning to deep clean your carpets.
Hardwood Floors
Depending on your hardwood floors’ condition, consider having them sanded and polished; however, if your floors are still in good shape, mop and wax them.
Straighten Closets
It’s also a great time of year to clean out your closets. Get rid of any clothes and shoes you no longer wear. Clean out toys your kids no longer play with and items you no longer use. Wipe down all shelves and take everything out of your closets to clean the floors.
