Autumn House Cleaning Advice | Haus Maids Bishop’s Stortford 

It’s official! The seasons are changing, which means it’s time for a house cleaning refresh. 

Autumn is a great time to spruce up your home, as the weather isn’t too hot or too cold and you might have a little more free time than you did during the busy summer months.  

But where to start? 

Check out this autumn house cleaning advice from our domestic cleaning experts in Bishop’s Stortford to find out… 

Make the most of the fresh air 

In the autumn, the days tend to start crisp before warming up around midday. This is the perfect time to get some fresh air moving through your home by cracking open windows and doors throughout the day. 

It’s also a great opportunity to dry things outdoors. It might take a little longer than it would in the height of summer, but the results will be just as fresh! 

Give your garden some TLC 

With the changing seasons come new requirements for outdoor area maintenance. So, our house cleaners in Bishop’s Stortford suggest getting ahead of your exterior cleaning and tidying jobs early. 

Pay particular attention to your gutters and drains, as these are likely to start filling up with gunk and debris as the trees start shedding their leaves and the weather gets wetter. Plus, ensure you’re storing your patio or garden furniture and BBQ equipment in a clean, dry place to avoid it getting damaged or rusty in the coming months.  

Clean your windows and doors 

This is one of our top pieces of house-cleaning advice for the season. Make sure you’re giving all the windows and doors around your property a thorough clean to prepare them for winter and get rid of any dirt that might have gathered over the summer. 

If you don’t want to hire a professional to do this, you can make an effective DIY cleaner out of white vinegar and a paper towel. 

Refresh your kitchen and bathrooms 

Take the opportunity to deep clean your bathroom, kitchen and other common areas that get the most use and therefore carry the most dirt and bacteria. 

It’s a good idea to do this properly before the weather gets too cold to leave your windows open all day. Wipe the inside and outside of all cupboards, get rid of unnecessary items, scrub all appliances, disinfect all surfaces and wash hand towels, mats and shower curtains according to care instructions.  

Rotate your bedding 

You probably want to swap out your light summer duvets for heavier ones in preparation for the colder nights. So, why not also take the opportunity to flip your mattress and give your bed a good clean? 

Hoovering your mattress will get rid of dust mites, dust, bacteria and allergens that might be lingering in it. You can do the same for your soft furnishings like sofas and lounge chairs. Then, wash and dry all your bed linens, rugs and blankets to enjoy a more comfortable and clean sleeping environment.  

Deep clean your floors 

You may not have kept up with your floor maintenance schedule during the summer when there’s less visible mud being trodden through the house. But trust us, it’s there!  

Hoover or sweep every room from the top of the house to the bottom, making sure to move furniture out of the way to get into every nook and cranny. Then, use a clean mop to polish and disinfect hard floors, and use a carpet cleaner to steam away any dirt and stains that could be affecting the look of your home.
