Just as spring cleaning is something that is done to help you feel clean and ready for the spring and summer months of lighter days and things to do, a winter clean is also very beneficial for a variety of different reasons. Nothing blooms all year round and winter is normally the season of rest and hibernation for a lot of living plants and animals.
If you start to look at living more seasonally you will allow yourself to slow down in winter, approach life with a more hygge point of view and enjoy what the cold and snowy season brings. Then in the summer, you will want to do big clear outs and keep everything clean as you may have people over more.
It is a great idea to do a big declutter and clean your home whatever the season. Unkept houses can bring moisture and mould in the home so you can do deep cleans in the areas that show up to keep on top of it. There are mould spray and moisture traps you can get to try to manage it over the winter period.
Decluttering things like toys, knick-knacks and clothes is also very beneficial to your mental health. If you have children it is likely they no longer fit in last season’s clothes and will need a whole new wardrobe for the season ahead. So be sure to clear it out and even give it to someone who could benefit from them.
Toys are another big one to focus on, with Christmas around the corner your house will be filled with new toys and games on Christmas morning so getting rid of the tired and tested toys or things they no longer play with will make room for the new additions to their collections.
You can also deep clean things like the pantry and fridges and update any things in the house you use a lot like your air fryer or instant pot. If you need to dispose of any things like this that are electrical or have plugs then you need to make sure you dispose of it safely. E-waste disposal is something not to be messed with and can negatively affect the environment so it is always safest to make sure you are disposing of it correctly.
There are also other cleaning jobs you will need to do around the year in your home. Autumn brings a lot of leaves down in your garden and on your roof, so you will want to clear your gutters to make sure any excess rainfall can drain away properly to make sure it doesn’t leak into your home and cause damage.
In the summer you will be using gardening equipment more so they will need a clean and you can even use the pressure washer on them and the floors to get rid of all the muck buildup. It is a quick and satisfying job to do.
