It's officially the start of a new season!
and I have been working on putting together a seasonal cleaning list, since Spring!
I have been on the hunt for the perfect cleaning routine, and what I found is that there is no perfect cleaning routine. Well at least not for me, anyway!
There are some awesome cleaning routines from Fly lady and Clean mama and maybe those will fit your fancy! But I have found the "smorgasbord" style of cleaning works good for me. Have you heard of it? Neither have I, I just made it up. I was going to say "Buffet" but didn't like the sound of it, so smorgasbord it is.
In short, it's where you and pick and choose what you want to clean based on your day's schedule, energy level and motivation. aside from doing the everyday cleaning like dishes and laundry and overall tidy.
However, there are things that I need to get better at cleaning more regularly (monthly cleaning list coming at you soon) but then there are things that get even less touched. Enter: seasonal cleaning! If I am able to touch these things even 4x a year, that's more than I can say about somethings on the list!

Now this isn't a clean till you drop list, this is more of a clean as you go.
The fall season started yesterday, September 22, and goes til about December 21,
so, you technically have 3 months to get these things done, but I would encourage you to try to get them done in the first 4 weeks, so you can enjoy the season more thoroughly!
I originally had more detailed cleaning on the list, but I wanted to save that for the regular weekly and monthly cleaning and focus on more seasonal items.
Unless you have the time, don't worry about getting these all done in one day!
Here is a Fall Simmer Recipe to put on that helps bring Fall into the air! (literally)
I hope you enjoy it!
Happy Fall Cleaning!
Xx, H
