Seasonal Cleaning

The change of seasons is a great opportunity to clean and arrange your home. When a new season arrives, go over your cleaning process again, so that you can feel and enjoy every new season. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite cleaning ideas for all seasons to make your life easier and more joyful!

■ Spring Season Cleaning

This season is a time of renewal. It is a time to focus your house and conduct some spring cleaning and organizing when the plants start pushing out of the frozen ground. But where would you even begin?

Cleaning Tips

■ The very first thing you would do after winters is to clear the air by cleaning the fireplace and furnace. Due to cold weather in winters, you have used them through day and night to get a cozy environment and ended up with a lot of ashes and other articles gathered in the fireplace and furnace. The longer those ash particles remain there, the more they’ll spread through your house, resting as dust on your upholstery and other items. Now, it’s time to remove all of the ashes from your fireplace. After carefully putting the ashes into a garbage bag, vacuum all the surfaces so that no tiny particles are left behind.

■ Clean your windows from the inside out. Vacuum your draperies and wash any mini blinds if they are dirtier.

■ Move your warmer clothes into your storeroom and bring your spring clothes into your closet. 

■ Get the vacuum out and give the house a thorough cleaning. This entails removing all furniture and vacuuming underneath it. Your walls are another place where dust and filth gather. You can remove loose dust by dusting them with a mop; if they’re pretty filthy, you have to rinse them down with a damp sponge. Dust the remainder of the home, particularly the junk drawers and cabinets. 

■ Take your outdoor furniture, clean it, and do any repairs if necessary. When it comes to repairs, take a tour around your home and observe what needs to be fixed, such as loose drainpipes or broken roof tiles.

■ Summer Cleaning

Summer sounds like a combination of vacations, relaxing days at the beach, and plentiful vegetable crops from the backyard; cleaning the house is usually the last thing that comes to mind. Your home, on the other hand, needs some delicate care.

Cleaning Tips

■ Examine all of your home’s windows and doors. Because summer calls for open doors and windows, double-check everything and ensure their working condition. To get rid of all the collected crud, clean the tracks. With a screwdriver, scrape out the icky stuff.

■ Check your medical and cosmetics cabinets. Throw away any cosmetics or medicines that have expired. Check your local health standards for information on how to dispose of medications; don’t flush or throw them away because they’ll end up in the groundwater. After you’ve cleaned out the cupboard, make sure you have enough summery cures on hand. 

■ Summer is associated with being outside. So don’t overlook these tasks: Wash the pavement and porch. Ensure you have adequate charcoal for spontaneous barbeques and clean the grill as well. To keep pollen at bay, wipe down your lawn furniture on a regular basis. Garbage cans should be disinfected and hosed down. If you have children, clean and inspect their outdoor play equipment, as well as evaluate and adjust them for safety.

■ Pay a visit around the house and garden, looking for any bug infestations, wasp and bee nests, or, termites and carpenter ants. Early detection of an issue will save you money and time.

■ Fall Cleaning

There is a little cool weather in fall season. School session is begun again, and summer vacation is done. There are some cleaning tips for this season as well. 

Cleaning Tips

■ To begin your fall cleaning, swap out your spring/summer apparel for fall/winter attire. Check your clothing once again to determine what you can donate or toss out.

■ Give your kitchen additional care. Holiday cooking is inspired by the fall weather, so clean out all your cabinets and organize your bakeware and equipment. Clean your oven manually using an all-purpose cleaner. Also, clean out your freezer. Put any appliances you don’t use more than once a week away. By doing so, you’ll have some extra space to cook and your counters will seem cleaner.

■ All the furniture should be vacuumed or professionally cleaned. Use a vacuum attachment to clean windowsills or baseboards, or wipe them down with a damp rag. Check the cleanliness of your draperies as well. To prepare for storage, take out your fall/winter bedding and wash all of your summer bedding.

■ Clean your light fixtures.

■ Cleaning your vacuum is also a good thing to do. Cleaning your cleaning tools and the appliance may seem frivolous, but it is vital. Make sure to clean the container, and if you use a vacuum, replace the filter as well. Look for any long threads or other debris in the roller brush and remove them. On the other hand, maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of your vacuum will lengthen its life, too.

■ Bring any freestanding air filters or air purifiers from storage if you use them in the winter. The elements should be washed under the manufacturer’s guidelines. Check for lint buildup in your dryer’s exhaust tube. If necessary, have it professionally cleaned. A clogged exhaust tube can easily spark a fire.

■ Take a brief walk around your property. Is there any debris in the gutters? Do your decks and railings require any touch-up painting? Look for any deteriorated caulk around the windows and doors. Use an insulating cover to protect your outdoor air conditioning equipment.

■ Winter Cleaning

Winter provides its own set of housecleaning issues, with cozy nights by the fire, holiday parties, and snowfall all over the place. Keep your regular cleaning regimen in place, but consider the essential tips in mind.

Cleaning Tips

■ In the winter, try to replace furnace filters. Because we use the furnace more frequently in this season. In addition, debris and dirt get gathered due to continuous use and spread in the air as well. So, you should clean them regularly especially in winters.

■ Because you have more downtime in the winter, it’s also an excellent time to clean your computer. Turn off the computer and disconnect it. Put your keyboard upturned into a garbage can to see how many crumbs and other items get lodged beneath the keys. Using a moist towel, wipe clean the keys and the board. 

■ Install waterproof floor mats near all exterior doors to absorb dripping water.   It will prevent dirt and snow from spreading throughout the house.
