Every season brings its own challenges — from muddy spring days and humid summers to dusty autumns and snowy winters. Weather extremes can take a toll on your home’s cleanliness and comfort if you’re not ready.
At Best Day Housecleaning, we know that small preventive steps make a big difference in how your home weathers the elements. Here’s how to keep your home fresh, safe, and spotless no matter what the forecast looks like.
☀️ Summer: Beat the Heat & Humidity
Challenge:
High humidity, pollen, and open windows can lead to sticky floors, mildew, and extra dust.
Solutions:
- Deep clean before summer hits — removing dust and clutter helps improve air circulation.
- Focus on air quality: Clean ceiling fans, vents, and air filters to reduce allergens.
- Mop floors regularly to catch the extra dirt tracked in from outside.
- Use a dehumidifier in damp areas like basements or bathrooms to prevent mold growth.
Bonus Tip: Wash or replace lightweight curtains — they tend to trap pollen and outdoor particles during warm months.
🍂 Fall: Get Ready for Indoor Season
Challenge:
Leaves, dirt, and rain get tracked inside, while heating systems start blowing out dust built up over summer.
Solutions:
- Clean entryways thoroughly — sweep porches, wipe down door frames, and use doormats inside and out.
- Vacuum upholstery and curtains to remove accumulated dust.
- Dust and wipe baseboards and vents before turning on the heat.
- Check for drafts and clean around windowsills and doors to keep out cold air and debris.
Bonus Tip: Schedule a professional cleaning before the holidays so your home is guest-ready and warm-weather dust is gone.
❄️ Winter: Stay Clean, Warm & Safe
Challenge:
Snow, salt, and mud can damage floors and make cleaning more difficult during cold months.
Solutions:
- Protect your floors: Place washable mats at every entrance and use a boot tray to contain slush.
- Vacuum more often — dry air and heating systems spread dust quickly.
- Wipe window condensation regularly to prevent mildew.
- Keep your cleaning supplies accessible, since indoor messes build up faster when the weather keeps everyone inside.
Bonus Tip: Use a humidifier to balance indoor air — it helps reduce dust and keeps wood floors and furniture from drying out.
🌷 Spring: Refresh and Reset
Challenge:
After a long winter indoors, spring cleaning season arrives — but so do allergens and fluctuating humidity.
Solutions:
- Declutter and deep clean to reset your home for a fresh start.
- Vacuum mattresses, rugs, and upholstery to remove dust and pet dander.
- Clean windows and screens for better light and airflow.
- Use natural cleaners for a fresh, fragrance-free environment that supports healthy breathing.
Bonus Tip: Open windows on dry, breezy days to let in fresh air and push out mustiness — just avoid peak pollen hours.
🌪 Extreme Weather Prep: Be Ready for the Unexpected
Challenge:
Storms, temperature swings, and power outages can lead to leaks, odors, or damage if not addressed quickly.
Solutions:
- Keep cleaning essentials on hand: towels, baking soda, vinegar, gloves, and a flashlight.
- Inspect gutters and downspouts regularly to prevent water damage.
- Check for mold-prone spots in basements or attics after heavy rain.
- Unplug appliances during major storms and wipe them down afterward to avoid rust or residue.
Bonus Tip: Add a deep clean to your routine after any major weather event — it helps spot hidden issues early.
