September Cleaning Tips

In September, the focus of home cleaning often shifts towards preparing for the upcoming autumn and winter months. Here are the most important or common home cleaning tasks for September.

1. Deep Cleaning Carpets and Rugs

After a summer of heavy foot traffic, it's a good time to deep clean carpets and rugs to remove dirt, allergens, and stains. Talk to us about hiring our commercial carpet cleaner or professional vacuum cleaners to make this job a breeze.

2. Window Cleaning

Clean windows inside and out to maximize the natural light before the days get shorter. Pay special attention to removing any summer grime or pollen.

We hire professional carpet cleaners and industrial vacs.

3. Cleaning Gutters

With Autumn approaching, clear out gutters to prevent clogs from falling leaves, which can lead to water damage or ice dams during very cold winter.

4. Organising and Cleaning the Garage

Before storing summer gear, give the garage a thorough clean and organise it to make room for winter tools and equipment.

5. Cleaning the Kitchen

This includes wiping down cabinets, deep cleaning the oven and stove, and checking the fridge and pantry for expired items. Preparing for hearty winter cooking is easier with a clean kitchen.

We stock a huge range of products for all manner of kitchen cleaning tasks

6. Preparing Outdoor Furniture

Clean and store outdoor furniture if you won’t be using it during the colder months. Cover or store BBQs, garden tools, and other outdoor equipment.

7. Dusting and Cleaning Light Fixtures

Dust tends to accumulate over the summer, so it’s a good time to clean light fixtures , especially since they’ll be used more as the days get shorter.

8. Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning

If you have a fireplace, September is a good time to have the chimney inspected and cleaned, ensuring it's safe for use in the colder months.

9. Deep Cleaning Bedrooms

Flip or rotate mattresses, clean under the bed, and change out summer bedding for warmer linens.

10. Checking Weatherstripping and Seals

Inspect and clean weatherstripping around doors and windows, and replace if necessary, to improve energy efficiency as the temperatures drop.

11. Decluttering

Go through wardrobes and storage spaces to remove items you no longer need, making space for winter clothing and festive decorations.

12. Cleaning Outdoor Areas

Sweep and wash down patios, walkways, and driveways, removing any debris that might accumulate over Autumn and winter. We hire and sell Karcher professional pressure washers so that you can tackle large outdoor areas without worrying about the performance of smaller domestic pressure washers.

14. Maintaining Lawn and Garden

Trim back overgrown plants, weed flower beds, and prepare the garden for autumn planting.

By tackling these tasks in September, you can ensure your home is clean, organised, and ready for the seasonal changes ahead. If you have any particular cleaning jobs that you need some advice on, please contact us and we'll be delighted to help.
