Ultimate Cleaning Checklist For The Fall Season

 The fall season is the perfect time for you to prepare your home for the upcoming holiday season and finish the other household tasks that you may have forgotten to complete during summer. The summer heat has gone but the weather is still mild, which means you can still do outdoor and house cleaning chores to make sure that your home is all set for the cold weather. So, here’s a complete cleaning list that you may find useful.

Clean and Store Outdoor Furniture

  • Clean your outdoor furniture first before storing.
  • Don’t forget to treat any visible stain.
  • If you don’t have space in your storage area, you can cover your outdoor furniture with weatherproof tarps or custom covers and secure them with bungee cords.

Maintain And Store Gardening Equipment

  • Have all your lawn and garden equipment serviced first before storing.
  • Clean each one and make the necessary repairs.

Clean Gutter and Downspouts

  • Get rid of the autumn leaves that may have filled the gutters to prevent rotting wood as well as roof leaks.
