The changing of the seasons bring more than leaves falling and temperatures dropping, it signals cleaning rituals to be implemented. For centuries the transfer from one season to another has being the indicator for certain housekeeping activities to be actioned. No need for a mark on the calendar, it is in the air.
So what is it we are meant to be doing in our homes to maintain their cleanliness, expelling dust. Summer leads us to throw open windows, track in dirt, and enter and exit more frequently than any other time. It is also notoriously the season where most homeowners neglect chores, as they would prefer to be making the most of the good weather. Fun and games now need to be put on hold, and that buildup of dust needs to be ousted. Nooks and crannies deserve a good cleaning and a fresh start to the upcoming months of indoor living. Hit everything, and everywhere that dust accumulates, ceilings, baseboards, cabinet doors, vents, corners, walls, and shelves. This way you can settle in for a long winter and know you are in properly cleaned surroundings.
