Seasonal Cleaning: Your No-Stress Guide to a Home That Doesn’t Embarrass You
Hey there, seasonal struggler! 🍂❄️🌸☀️ Let’s be real – your home’s needs change faster than your mood when you realize it’s Monday. At Squeaky Home Clean, we’re all about actual cleaning that fits real life (not those magazine spreads where houses look photoshopped). Here’s your cheat sheet to seasonal cleaning – minus the overwhelm.
Spring: The "Oh God, Windows Exist?" Clean
✔ What matters:
Wash windows (finally see your neighbor’s weird garden gnomes clearly)
Flip mattresses (evict the dust mite squatters)
Clean out your closets (bye-bye, old jeans!)
✔ Don’t bother if: You’re still not ready. We won’t judge.
Summer: The "Why Is Everything Sticky?" Clean
✔ Focus on:
Fans/AC units (unless you enjoy sneezing contests)
Fridge deep clean (RIP, forgotten picnic leftovers)
Outdoor furniture (spiderwebs aren’t decor)
✔ Sign you’re overdue: Your lemonade glass sticks to the coffee table.
Our move: Schedule cleans before vacation. Coming home to fresh sheets > coming home to mystery smells.
Fall: The "How Did Leaves Get Inside?" Clean
✔ Non-negotiables:
Carpet shampoo (bye, beach sand and melted popsicles)
Heating vents (dust bunnies shouldn’t blow at you)
Okay, time to clean out the pantry – those old pumpkin spice lattes? Definitely not bringing me joy.
And, let’s be real: if you’ve rocked that same sweater for three straight days, it’s probably time to do some laundry around here.
Winter: The "Why Is There Glitter in July?" Clean
✔ Prioritize:
Post-holiday fridge (discover what that Tupperware used to be)
Blanket/fluff rehab (so. many. cookie. crumbs.)
Light fixtures (dust + dry air = indoor snowstorms)
✔ Emergency clean trigger: Your in-laws text “We’re in town!”
Themed Cleans (For Overachievers & Crisis Moments)
🔹 “Pre-Date Night Dash” – Clean the bathroom and light a candle. 90% of guests won’t peek further.
🔹 “Landlord’s Coming” – Wipe baseboards, change HVAC filter, pretend you always live like this.
🔹 “I’m Moving Out & Need My Deposit” – Oven, blinds, and that one corner you’ve ignored for years.
Why This Actually Works
Seasonal cleaning isn’t about perfection – it’s about:
☑️ Small wins (1 shelf > entire garage)
☑️ Preventing disasters (no more “why does the heater smell like burning dust?”)
☑️ Feeling comfy in your own dang home
Rather outsource the ick? [We handle seasonal dirty work] so you can enjoy actual seasons.
