Essentials to Clean for Autumn Home Preparation: Getting Ready for the Upcoming Autumn Season
Autumn is upon us, and with the changing of the seasons comes a need to tidy up and prepare our homes for the colder months ahead. Here's a handy guide to help you get your home ready for autumn.
Firstly, it's time to put away those summer items. Flip-flops, camping gear, and beach supplies should be stored away to make room for autumn and winter essentials.
Cleaning is crucial for maintaining a clean and tidy home year-round. The best time to clean for autumn is at the end of August to mid-to-late September. This includes cleaning the bathtub with a natural solution, such as equal parts white vinegar and water. Don't forget to clean the washing machine before autumn, as this will make a big difference to your laundry, especially when washing bulkier fabrics.
The washing machine's dispenser drawer, rubber seal, and washing machine door should also be cleaned with the same vinegar and water solution. Two cups of distilled white vinegar can be added to the detergent dispenser to clean the washing machine effectively.
The dining room, which will see more use during autumn and winter, should be cleaned before autumn for indoor entertaining. Coasters, one of the dirtiest items in the home, should not be forgotten when cleaning the dining room.
Autumn and winter require more use of cooking appliances, so cleaning the oven and hob before autumn is essential. Cleaning the oven with baking soda and hot, soapy water is recommended. Don't forget to clean oven racks and oven trays as well.
The hallway can accumulate seasonal clutter during autumn, making it necessary to declutter and refresh the area. Too much clutter and not enough storage in the hallway can make it appear smaller.
Brushing up on professional tidying techniques is key to a successful 'pre-autumn clean'. Learning how to clean a washing machine, mattress, and oven is crucial for longer wash cycles and heavier loads during autumn and winter.
Experts recommend checking for storm damage, considering cleaning solar panels if they are heavily soiled and more sunny weeks are expected, and carefully removing leaves from panels using professional services to avoid damage and danger.
The changing seasons provide an opportunity to declutter the home and give everything a refresh. Mattresses, bedding, blankets, and duvets should be cleaned before autumn for a clean sleep environment.
Lastly, it's worth exploring how to dry clothes indoors more efficiently, such as by investing in a heated clothes airer. Knowing how to clean a mattress doesn't have to be daunting; vacuuming and using laundry detergent with water is sufficient.
By following this guide, you'll be well on your way to a clean, cosy, and clutter-free home for the autumn and winter seasons. Happy cleaning!
