Autumn Cleaning Checklist: Revitalise Your Living Space

As we bid farewell to the warmth of summer, it's time to embrace the beauty of autumn. And what better way to prepare than with a comprehensive cleaning checklist? Refresh your home and ensure it’s ready to enjoy the autumn vibes ahead.

First things first, when is the best time to kick off Autumn cleaning?

Launching your Autumn cleaning marathon as early as March is ideal. By doing just a few tasks per day, you can stretch out the chores so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

Typically, an Autumn cleaning checklist is broken up into several cleaning tasks including:

• Indoor Spaces - This involves cleaning surfaces, vacuuming, dusting, washing windows, and frequently used surfaces, as well as deep cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, sanitising sinks, toilets, and cutting boards.
• Outdoor Spaces - Autumnising yard tasks include, trimming bushes and raking leaves, clearing gutters fo leaves, a roof assessment, and caulking gaps to keep out the bugs and cold air.
• Inspections/Maintenance: This usually includes the changing of HVAC filters and checking the insulation of attics and walls. 
• Seasonal Updates: This involves altering summer clothing for winter outfits, flipping beds, and adjusting house décor.

However, Autumn cleaning involves more than just clearing out the spider webs and sweeping up fallen leaves. It's an opportunity for all to organise, declutter, and give your homes the much needed TLC they deserve. 

This blog post provides a complete Autumn checklist that will ensure a more organised and comfortable home, setting the stage for the colder months ahead.
