Autumn Cleaning – Prepare Your Home for Winter

Want to avoid doing it all yourself? We are ready to help with a deep cleaning. Hire us as a cleaning company in Malmö or Lund, and we will help you create a fresh and pleasant environment for the winter months.

Step 1: Create a Plan Start by planning what needs to be done. Make a checklist for each room and ensure you have everything you need at home. Feel free to use environmentally friendly cleaning products – good for both your home and the planet.

Step 2: Declutter and Organize

Pack Away Summer Put away clothes, shoes, and other summer items that are no longer needed. Make sure everything is freshly washed and dry before storing it.

Make Room for Autumn and Winter Go through your wardrobes, hang up warmer garments, mittens, hats, and other seasonal items you will soon need.

Clean Out the Pantry Remove old food items and restock with ingredients for soups, stews, and other warming dishes that belong to the season.

Step 3: Go Through the Home – Room by Room

Living Room

• Vacuum sofas, rugs, and curtains
• Wipe down lamps, shelves, and other surfaces
• Wash blankets and pillows for an extra cozy feeling

Kitchen

• Thoroughly clean the oven, stovetop, and microwave
• Defrost the freezer and reorganize the refrigerator
• Wipe down cabinets, countertops, and the sink; don’t forget the kitchen fan

Bathroom

• Remove limescale from the shower and faucets
• Clean the floor drain properly
• Polish mirrors and wipe down tiles

Bedroom

• Wash bedding, air out duvets and pillows
• Vacuum mattresses and surfaces under the bed
• Reorganize the wardrobe so autumn clothes are easily accessible

Step 4: Check the Windows As the light diminishes, it is especially important to keep the windows clean. Wash both the inside and outside. A tip is to clean on an overcast day to avoid streaks. Want to avoid doing it yourself? We offer window cleaning as an add-on service with our deep cleaning.

Step 5: Take Care of the Outdoor Furniture Before winter arrives, clean and dry your outdoor furniture. Seal any cracks and store the furniture in a dry place or cover it well.

By following the steps above, you will have a home that both feels and looks fresh and is ready to face the cold months. Autumn cleaning doesn’t have to be burdensome; break it up into stages or let us at Effektstäd take care of it for you. We offer professional, thorough, and eco-friendly cleaning, perfect for the coming winter!
