Autumn Cleaning Checklist

1. Clothing Swap

• Summer to Winter Clothes: Pack away summer clothes and bring out your winter wardrobe. Donate or store items you no longer need.
• Winter Outerwear Prep: Take coats, scarves, and gloves to the dry cleaner or wash them at home so they’re fresh for the season.

2. Bedding Switch

• Warmer Bedding: Swap out light summer bedding for cozy blankets, flannel sheets, and heavier duvets to keep warm during the cooler nights.

3. Mini Autumn Cleaning

• Quick Deep Clean: Focus on high-traffic areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, and living room. Dust, vacuum, and wipe down surfaces to remove summer’s dust and dirt.
• Declutter: Spend some time decluttering any areas that accumulated items over the summer, like closets, entryways, and countertops.
• Store Summer Items: Clean and store pool gear, beach gear, and summer clothes that won’t be needed until next year.

4. Outdoor Furniture Care

• Clean and Store: Clean outdoor furniture and store it away for the winter, or cover it to protect it from the elements.
• Garden Tidy-Up: Remove any dead plants and rake leaves to prepare your garden for the colder months.
