Fall is nature’s gentle reminder to slow down and get things in order. Whether you own your home or rent it, this season is a great time to tackle small tasks that make a big difference before winter sets in.
What to Check Before the Chill Hits
- Gutters & Downspouts: Clear out leaves to prevent clogs and water damage.
- Weather Stripping: Check doors and windows for drafts, your heating bill will thank you.
- Smoke & CO Detectors: Test batteries and make sure everything’s working properly.
- Outdoor Faucets: Disconnect hoses and shut off exterior water to avoid frozen pipes.
- Furnace Filters: Swap them out for cleaner air and better efficiency.
Bonus Touches
- Rotate seasonal décor and cozy up your space with blankets, candles, and warm lighting.
- Do a quick pantry check, toss expired items and make room for holiday staples.
- If you’re hosting this season, give guest areas a little extra attention now so you’re not scrambling later.
Autumn maintenance doesn’t have to be overwhelming. A few simple steps now can save you headaches (and money) down the road. Plus, there’s something satisfying about getting your space ready for the season ahead.
This time of year is perfect for a reset. Not a full-blown overhaul, just a quiet refresh. Maybe it’s finally tackling that junk drawer, or giving the guest room a little love before family rolls in. Maybe it’s just lighting a candle and enjoying the fact that your kitchen counters are actually visible.
At Busted Knuckles Cleaning, we’re big fans of the “little wins.” The kind of clean that makes your space feel lighter, calmer, and more like yours again. No pressure, no perfection—just a little help when you need it.
