5 Fall Cleaning Tips From Golden Line Green Gare

Are you getting your home reading for Fall? That’s right spring is not the only time to prep your home. A thorough fall cleaning is suggested to keep your home fresh and neat during the times of cooler temperatures and colourful leaves. 

Golden Line Green Care has a quick fall cleaning checklist you can follow to make sure you get your home ready! 

1. Perform a Pantry Audit.

We must first, throw out all the empty cans and boxes on the shelves, and clean the remaining dirt off any that is left. We must then inspect the items before putting them back. If the item is expired or past its prime, throw it away. A helpful guide can be found on the shelf-life chart.

2. Test and clean your smoke detectors. 

You should clean your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to keep them in good working order. Dust collection can cause them to underperform. You can use a soft scrub brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to clean in places where alarms are located and replace them if they are more than 10 years old.

3. Flip your mattress

When you turn your clocks back, also turn your mattress over. If you can’t turn it because there is a pillow top, turn it 180 degrees to avoid body impressions from becoming puffed up, and then pull out the missing padding. Sprinkle the mattress surface with baking soda to neutralise the odours, and then vacuum it up.

4. Shampoo your carpet to clean it effectively

Stay ahead with the holiday party season by doing your year-end cleaning thoroughly, as an annual rotation leaves your carpet in great shape all year long. Professionals recommend getting a professional carpet cleaning every year, but you can also do a thorough job by renting a carpet cleaner and using some basic DIY tricks. 

Remember, life can be busy so if you don’t have time to do the carpet cleaning yourself, we are here for you. 

5. Vacuum all upholstered surfaces

You think your couch is clean until you plop on it, and a haze of dust appears around you. Give upholstery a good vacuuming, making sure to hit both sides of the cushions, the back, sides, arms, and even the platform underneath the cushions.  

If you’d like a professional feel, you can contact Golden Line Green Care to have your upholstery professionally cleaned! You have probably invested a pretty penny on your furniture, why not have a professional. We provide carpet and upholstery cleaning in Toronto and the GTA!
