Autumn cleaning?

I had never thought of seasonal cleaning, though now you mention it the low sunlight is showing that I need to clean the windows inside ……. I did sort out the shameful kitchen cupboards a week or to ago, and the wonderful oven cleaning man came last week; does that count as autumn cleaning, do you think?

Kittylester I love your suggestion just looking for my silver spray can now.

The garden will soon have its last cut and the hedge cutters will be here soon. The house will have its usual clean, room by room, but I’ll need to sort the wardrobes out for winter clothes soon.

Mum always put up her winter curtains and the curtain went up across the front door as soon as the weather changed. Dad got the logs in and chopped them and the coal cellar was filled up ready for the bad weather. We seldom get really bad weather anymore and with double glazing we don’t need to change to heavy curtains.

I do. I wash everything I can in October, even though my sofas don’t officially have washable covers I do them, throws, washable curtains, cushion covers, and anything else I can find. I also clean my carpets and ban the dog from going out through the patio doors, he has to go out through the utility room in the winter so he doesn’t get muddy footprints anywhere. I’m far more interested in the garden than the house in the summer too, so I’ll start once I’ve finished tidying up the garden for the winter.

Btw I hate housework

No spring clean or autumn clean here. No energy for all that. Hopefully the once a fortnight ‘clean’ by my cleaners, and the run-through I do every couple of days , is sufficient. Good luck with your autumn clean Foxygloves

Similar to others, we don’t have a Spring clean, never mind Autumn, it just gets done as it needs doing, with the minimum necessary!

Spray cobwebs silver and use as Christmas decorations.

I have never even thought about Autumn cleaning - I don't think about cleaning much at all and certainly never Spring clean. If i had to choose, I suppose that the cooker would be my first thought and the inside of the windows to maximise the available light.

Nothing, I have a regular routine, which I stick to and only do special cleans when special reasons require it.

For example, for the last month DH has been repairing and repainting the windows at the front of the house and walking sawdust, paint chippings through the hall. Once he has finished the hall will get a good clean.

Nothing really. I try to tackle the bigger things in small spurts throughout the year. I suppose the skirting boards could do with a good wipe down soon.

I started cleaning my kitchen cupboards a couple of weeks ago when the weather started to get cooler. It warmed up again and stopped me in my tracks.
Yesterday I finally cleaned the conservatory blinds. I have looked at the dust on them for weeks.
The wardrobes are next on my list.
I like to give everywhere a thorough clean before I start thinking about C.....mas.

The spiders and cobwebs! I get round that by telling my minded children we are a spider sanctuary.
Though one little boy recently claimed he couldn't eat his tea because the daddy longlegs on the wall "might be looking at me," so that one went out the window!

As far as actual cleaning goes, it would be the internal framework of the windows which get dirty because the windows are always open.
Which brings me back to the spiders and daddy longlegs coming in... 🤷

Nothing just do my normal bits as days go by

I really need to clean out the kitchen cupboards but I'm saving my autumn clean for October when dd, sil and the boys are away for a week. Then I can pace myself.
