1. Deep Clean Carpets and Rugs

Over the summer, dust and dirt build up in carpets. A thorough cleaning, whether professional or DIY, helps reduce allergens and keeps your home fresh for fall.

2. Clean and Store Outdoor Furniture

Prepare your outdoor space for the winter by cleaning and storing your furniture. Keeping them covered or stored in a dry area will help them last longer.

3. Organize Closets and Swap Out Clothes

It’s time to put away summer clothes and bring out the fall wardrobe. Declutter as you go, and take this opportunity to donate any items you no longer need.

4. Clean Windows and Check for Drafts

Clean your windows to let in maximum light during the shorter fall days. While you’re at it, check for any drafts and seal them up before the cold hits.

5. Check Gutters and Clear Debris

Falling leaves can clog your gutters, leading to potential damage. Clean them regularly throughout the fall to ensure proper water flow and avoid leaks.
