The Renter’s Fall Cleaning Guide

The Renter’s Fall Cleaning Guide

Spring gets all the attention when it comes to cleaning—but fall is the perfect time for a seasonal refresh. With the holidays coming up and more time spent indoors, a clean, organized home makes all the difference.

1. Tackle Forgotten Spots

Wipe down baseboards, clean ceiling fan blades, and vacuum behind furniture or appliances. Dust and dirt build up faster than you think!

2. Freshen Fabrics

Wash or dry-clean blankets, curtains, and rugs. These items trap dust and can make your space feel stuffy when windows are closed for the season.

3. Clean Air Vents

Dusty vents reduce air quality and make heating less efficient. Wipe them down with a damp cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment.

4. Declutter Before the Holidays

Go through closets, drawers, and cabinets. Donate or toss what you don’t need—you’ll appreciate the extra space before holiday shopping and gatherings.

5. Rotate & Refresh Pantry

Check expiration dates, wipe down shelves, and organize fall baking staples. It makes cooking (and entertaining) much easier.

Bottom Line:
 A little fall cleaning creates a fresher, cozier, and more organized space for the months ahead. Plus, it makes winter hibernation a lot more enjoyable!
