During autumn cleaning, it is important to focus on areas in the home that easily accumulate dirt, dust, or become neglected during the year. Here are some areas that may need extra attention:
Windows and window frames: Summer dust and dirt may have accumulated, and it is good to give the windows a proper cleaning before the darker season. Västerbottenssåpa's window cleaner does the job quickly and easily.
Ventilation and air filters: Check and clean ventilation systems and change/clean filters in, for example, the kitchen extractor fan to ensure good air circulation. Dust and clean all ventilation and radiators so that they are clean and working when the cold arrives.
Wardrobes and storage: Go through and sort summer clothes, shoes, and items, and organize for winter. Wash and repair before you put them away to minimize the risk of pests and mold. A forgotten piece of candy in a pocket can ruin a garment and attract unpleasantness.
Furniture and textiles: Wash or air out curtains, bedspreads, pillows, and rugs. Also take the opportunity to vacuum sofas and mattresses, which easily collect dust.
- Kitchen: Clean the oven, refrigerator, and pantry thoroughly. Also check dates on dry goods and food to avoid storing anything that has passed its best-before date.
Doormats and entrance: Since autumn often means muddy and wet shoes, it is good to change or clean doormats to keep dirt away from the home.
Water drainage and gutters: Clear leaves and other debris from gutters and water drainage to avoid blockages and water damage during rainy autumn days.
Outdoor areas: If you have a garden or balcony, take care of outdoor furniture, soap-wash them even in the autumn, and clean up leaves and other debris that accumulates before winter.
By giving these areas a little extra attention, the home becomes both fresher and more prepared for winter.
