It can be difficult to find the time to deep clean your house, especially with a busy work life. As fall comes around, house cleaning might be at the front of your mind. Here at Enviropure, we have put together a great fall cleaning checklist to help you organize your thoughts into deep cleaning tasks that need to be accomplished for the upcoming season. Below, our fall cleaning checklist is divided into a few key sections within your home.
Kitchen
The kitchen is a high-traffic area in most homes. It’s extremely important to keep up with daily and weekly tasks for cleaning this space in your home. Below we’ll list some tasks that might slip out of your mind once the fall season comes around. It’s super important to declutter and deep clean around the fall time. Once you read our list below, you’ll see why!
- Clean out and organize your Tupperware drawer for the back-to-school season.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for your entire house, but especially in the kitchen.
- Now that barbeque and grilling season is over, make sure your kitchen is safe for the indoor cooing season.
- Deep clean your fridge and freezer. While you’re at it, clear things out to make room for the new season and upcoming festive meals. Fall and winter often come along with more stored and frozen foods too, so decluttering your fridge will be very helpful during this season.
- Organize your pantry and vacuum up crumbs and dust out of nooks, crannies, and drawers.
- Clean the exterior and interior of your oven.
- Take an inventory of your spices and toss away everything that’s expired or spoiled.
