As the temperatures drop and the days get shorter, there’s nothing better than retreating into a warm, welcoming home at the end of a long day. But before you dive headfirst into hibernation mode, one important step is needed: pre-winter home cleaning. Doing a thorough clean before winter sets in isn’t just about appearances; it sets the stage for a healthier, more comfortable home during the colder months.
1. Clear the clutter and make room for comfort
Winter brings more time indoors, which means more time spent surrounded by whatever’s lying around. Clearing out clutter and giving your space a refresh before the cold sets in can boost your mood, reduce stress, and make your home feel more peaceful. Start by:
- Packing away summer items and donating unused goods.
- Organising high-traffic areas like the entrance, lounge, and kitchen.
2. Dust, deep-clean, and defend against allergens.
Closed windows, heavy blankets, and heaters can turn your home into a haven for dust mites and allergens. A deep clean before winter helps tackle dust in crucial areas. With pre-winter home cleaning, you’re not just prepping for comfort, you’re creating a cleaner, healthier space to breathe easy all season long. Follow our guide to dust, deep-clean, and defend against allergens.
3. Make your space cosy, not cramped.
Once you’ve got a clean canvas, it’s the perfect time to swap in your winter comforts: plush rugs, soft throws, and scented candles. A fresh clean brings these seasonal touches to life, helping you truly enjoy the feeling of “home.” Read our guide on how to make your space cosy and why safety matters in our winter-ready home maintenance guide.
