#fallcleaning

Everyone talks about spring maintenance, but did you know that fall maintenance is even more important?

Winter can be harsh on our homes and fall is our chance to get things ready. Here are some great tips to prepare your home for winter!

Spoiler: the checklist won… kinda.

So I thought it’d be a great idea to “reset my space for fall.” You know, candles, blankets, cozy vibes, maybe a pumpkin or two. Easy, right? WRONG.

I found this Ultimate Fall Cleaning Checklist and thought, “Sure, how bad can it be?” Turns out: bad. Very bad.

Stage 1: Decluttering Me: “I don’t have that much stuff.” Also, me: find 6 tangled headphones, 4 expired hot sauces, and 2 pairs of shoes I don’t remember buying. By the end, I had filled donation bags like I was running a thrift shop.

Stage 2: Deep Cleaning The checklist: “Wipe baseboards.” Me: “??? Who even looks at baseboards???” Also, me, an hour later: crying while scrubbing like Cinderella on overdrive. My reward? Breathing air that wasn’t 40% dust.

Stage 3: Seasonal Switch Finally, the fun part. Goodbye summer sheets, hello flannel burrito blanket. Goodbye patio chair, hello pumpkin army. The vibes? Immaculate.

The Unexpected Twist I thought I’d just end up with a cleaner apartment. But somehow, I also slept better, cooked more, and felt calmer. Who knew scrubbing baseboards was a path to inner peace?

Anyway, if you want to laugh at my pain (or actually try it yourself), here’s the full saga: I Tried the Ultimate Fall Cleaning Checklist | Here’s What Happened

And if you’re brave enough to tackle it yourself, I’ll just say this: may your vacuum bag be strong, your donation bags be many, and your back survive the baseboards.
