Autumn Cleaning – Tips for a Fresh and Clean Home This Fall
Autumn brings crisp mornings, golden leaves, and a sense of new beginnings. Early fall is the perfect moment to pause and do an autumn cleaning. You don’t need to do everything at once – break it into smaller steps and it stays light and easy.
Why Autumn Cleaning Is Worth It
Autumn cleaning is like a little “reset” for your home. The dust, dirt, and extra clutter that piled up during summer can be cleared away, making room for freshness and calm. At the same time, you prepare your home for darker evenings, turning it into a safe and cozy haven in the middle of everyday life.
How to Start Your Autumn Cleaning
- Dust & Surfaces: Wipe tables and shelves. Air out the home to make it feel fresh. A multipurpose cleaner is enough to keep surfaces clean. Dilute® multipurpose spray can even be used as a light air freshener by misting it into the room.
- Bathroom: Clean the sink and shower. Avoid harsh chemicals that can harm waterways.
- Windows & Mirrors: Wash glass surfaces to let the autumn light shine in.
- Floors & Rugs: Vacuum and mop. Freshen up rugs outdoors by airing them if they don’t need washing.
When the home feels clean, it’s easier to enjoy autumn. Try these little extras:
- Put on your favorite playlist while cleaning
- Light a candle for a soft autumn glow
- Wrap yourself in a blanket with a warm cup of tea – autumn is here
A More Sustainable Choice
Many of us want a clean home without creating unnecessary waste. By choosing plastic-free, biodegradable, and effective cleaning products, you save both the environment and space in your cupboards.
Tip: Refill pouches are an easy way to reduce plastic and make storage simpler. You’ll have a fresh home without extra bottles piling up.
