Autumn is a transitional time that invites cozy evenings at home, but also necessary preparations for the winter months. Starting autumn with a thorough autumn cleaning is more than just a quick refresh; it enhances the comfort level in your home with a deep clean and prepares you for festivities like Halloween and, of course, the upcoming Christmas. As cleaning experts in Stockholm, we at Nytta know that a proper deep cleaning in the autumn lays the foundation for a cleaner and healthier winter.

Checklist 

An autumn cleaning at home goes deeper than your regular cleaning or weekly cleaning. The goal is to tackle areas that are often overlooked. Our checklist helps you understand what an autumn cleaning consists of.

1. Kitchen

Spend time on the oven, range hood, and the inside of serving cabinets. These areas accumulate grease and dirt throughout the year. Also defrost the freezer to improve energy efficiency.

2. Bathroom

Thoroughly clean the floor drain, descale faucets and shower walls. Wipe down ceilings and walls to remove built-up dust and moisture.

3. Dust and wash textiles 

Vacuum and wipe all surfaces thoroughly, including moldings, behind radiators, and on top of cabinets. Wash heavy textiles like blankets, bedspreads, and curtains to reduce dust and allergens as you will be spending more time indoors.

4. Windows

With shorter days, every ray of light becomes important. Book window cleaning to maximize light entry. Clean windows make a noticeable difference in the perceived freshness of your home, especially when the daylight hours decrease so drastically during the autumn and winter months.

5. Organize

Go through cabinets, wardrobes, and storage. Gather all summer clothes, shoes, and jackets, and store them dry and clean in a storage area. By only having clothes for the current season visible, wardrobes and cabinets feel more spacious, and it becomes easier to keep organized. Less clutter in all “hidden” storage areas reduces stress and simplifies everyday life.

Autumn Cleaning in the Garden

For homeowners, autumn cleaning also involves some outdoor preparations. Cleaning up the garden in the autumn is both necessary and gives you a more pleasant environment.

• Leaf management - Rake and handle leaves to avoid moisture damage to the lawn and slip hazards on walkways.
• Clean gutters - Clear gutters of any leaves or other debris. Clogged gutters can cause water damage and other problems.
• Put away outdoor furniture - Clean and store away outdoor furniture or cover them properly to protect them against winter.
