Our friends in the USA and Canada are soon to welcome fall; the season of crunchy leaves, Halloween decorations, and, of course, pumpkin spice. It’s the time of year to prepare for colder weather which means a good home cleaning is on the cards. To help you prepare your home for fall, we’ve got 3 tried and tested cleaning tips suited to the change in seasons.

1. Clean your gutters

Red and orange leaves fluttering through the air sure is a beautiful sight, but unfortunately, these leaves love to gather in gutters, too. Ensuring your gutters are free from leaves and debris before fall truly arrives is the best way to help prevent burst downpipes, water leakages, and potential damage to your home.

2. Check your chimney

As the weather cools down, you’ll likely be drawn to lighting up your fireplace and gathering around it for warmth. Now is the best time to have your chimney professionally inspected and cleaned to ensure it’s free from blockages and creosote build-up.

3. Dust all surfaces

We spend a lot of time indoors during the cooler months. Because of this, we tend to notice just how much dust has built up on surfaces around the home. Dedicate some time now to giving your home a once-over with a cleaning cloth to freshen things up, remove allergens, and get rid of unsightly dust before hibernation weather is here.
