Fall is here, and that means that the holiday season, complete with guests and lots of running around, is just around the corner, too. Before that busy time of year begins, it’s a good idea to get in a fall cleaning (which is similar to a spring cleaning). 

The mother-daughter team at Cleaning Solutions Specialist is Cincinnati, OH’s commercial and residential cleaning experts, and here are their five tips for falling cleaning.

• Get Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned: Whether you’ll be doing a lot of entertaining or just spending the winter in front of the fire, fall is a great time to get your carpets professionally cleaned. Even if you don’t want to do a complete shampoo, let Maria from Cleaning Solutions Specialist go to work on your carpets with her vacuum. They’ll shine for the holidays.
• Clean Out Your Pantry: Before you start stocking up on holiday food, give your pantry a thorough once-over. Take everything out, throw (or give) away items you don’t want, clean off the shelves, and organize everything as you put it back.
• Test Your Smoke Detectors: Take this opportunity to both test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure they have new batteries, and if they’re more than 10 years old, get them replaced. Vacuum around them too: dust can build up around your detectors and interfere with their performance.
• Vacuum Your Upholstery: Couches and sofas really get a lot of use during the winter (whether it’s due to guests or Netflix marathons), so while you’re doing your fall cleaning, make sure you vacuum all your upholstery, including both sides of the cushions and underneath them as well.
• Flip Your Mattress: To prevent your mattress from retaining odors and body impressions from settling in permanently, flip your mattress over and put a little baking soda on it. Vacuum up the baking soda and let the mattress air out for the rest of the day.

If you need help getting through that big fall cleaning or are looking for a housekeeper to come on a daily basis, you can count on Maria Reyes and her daughter Osmari of Cleaning Solutions Specialist. They offer a wide variety of reliable and affordable cleaning services for both your home and business and are well known for their attention to detail and treating your home as if it were their own.
