Why You Should do an Autumn Clean

Keeping our homes looking their best is something we all like to do, and although it is traditional to do a spring clean, it is also good to be in the habit of doing an autumn clean too – as the seasons change and we head into the winter, this is something which will help to see you and your home through the winter months.

What should you do as part of an autumn clean?

Sort out Wardrobes – As the seasons are changing this is the best time to go through wardrobes and make sure that you don’t have clothes lurking in there that are no longer needed. As the weather starts to cool, clear out any clothes that you no longer wear and put summer clothes away until next year so you will have plenty of space for the winter clothes.

Clean your Carpets – Carpets should be cleaned once a year, but if you have pets it is a good idea to do it twice yearly as more dirt can build up in the carpets. You can do this yourself but to get a really thorough clean get a professional like this Carpet Cleaner Hereford based Octokleen to do it for you.

Sort out the Garden – Don’t forget the garden at this time of the year – clear up blocked leaves, especially from the drains, and make repairs to things like fence posts and shed roofs before the winter storms arrive to cause more damage.
