Indoor and Outdoor Fall Seasonal Chore List

From trick or treaters to holiday guests, your home will be seen by many in the upcoming months. Ensure that it is as inviting as possible by completing the following fall cleaning checklist:

Outdoors

  • Clean and store any patio furniture, lawn chairs, and outdoor toys. Add a few drops of your favorite dish detergent and few drops of vinegar to a bucket of water for a heavy-duty cleanser that will rid of dirt or rust spots.
  • Wash all exterior windows with a streak-free glass cleaner. Be sure to check the corners for any build-up of dirt or dust.
  • Check your gutters and clear them of any leaves, sticks, or other debris. Stock up on rubber kitchen gloves to protect your hands during this typically dirty task.
  • Rake the yard. Dried leaves are great for compost or, pile them into large garbage bags to be collected by your town’s leaf disposal program.

Indoors

  • Clean all interior windows with a streak-free glass cleaner.
  • Vacuum upholstered furniture and dust table tops with your favorite wood polish or disinfecting spray.
  • Clean your carpets with a heavy-duty carpet cleaner. Pay attention to corners, where summer’s sand and dirt may have settled.
  • Transition your closet. As you swap out your warm weather clothes, be sure to wash them with your favorite laundry supplies and donate any old clothes that may not fit.
  • Test your smoke and/or carbon monoxide detector(s) and purchase any needed new batteries.
  • Prepare your kitchen for holiday baking by organizing your pantry. Dispose of expired items, and make a list of cooking and baking ingredients that you may need to purchase during your next trip to Foodtown.
