Which areas of the home need extra attention during fall cleaning?

Sara Idenfors

During the autumn cleaning, it is important to focus on areas in the home that easily collect dirt and dust or are neglected during the year. Here are some areas that may need extra attention:

 

 

  1. Windows and window frames: Summer dust and dirt may have accumulated, so it is a good idea to give the windows a thorough cleaning before the darker season arrives. Västerbottenssåpa window cleaner makes the job quick and easy.

 

  1. Ventilation and air filters: Check and clean the ventilation system, and replace or clean filters in, for example, the extractor hood, to ensure good air circulation. Dust and clean all ventilation systems and radiators so that they are clean and work properly when the cold arrives.

 

  1. Wardrobes and storage areas: Go through and sort summer clothes, shoes, and other items, and organize them for the winter. Wash and repair them before storing them away to minimize the risk of pests and mold. A forgotten piece of candy in a pocket can ruin a garment and attract unwanted pests.

 

  1. Furniture and textiles: Wash or air out curtains, bedspreads, cushions, and rugs. Take the opportunity to vacuum sofas and mattresses as well, since they easily collect dust.

 

  1. The kitchen: Thoroughly clean the oven, refrigerator, and pantry. Also check the dates on dry goods and food to avoid storing anything that has passed its best-before date.

 

  1. Doormats and entrance: Since autumn often means muddy and wet shoes, it is a good idea to replace or clean doormats to keep dirt out of the home.

 

  1. Water drainage and gutters: Clear leaves and other debris from gutters and drainage systems to prevent blockages and water damage during rainy autumn days.

 

  1. Outdoor areas: If you have a garden or balcony, take care of your outdoor furniture. Feel free to scrub it with soap in the autumn as well, and clear away leaves and other debris that accumulate before winter.

 

By giving these areas a little extra attention, your home will be both fresher and better prepared for winter.
