Fall Cleaning Must-Haves

Fall Cleaning Checklist

November 2, 2021 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.

Fall cleaning is just as important as spring cleaning.

We all know about the spring cleaning concept, whether or not you participate in it. I find myself every spring de-cluttering and trying to get everything ready for the summer months. You want to know a little secret to make this process not as painful? Add in a little cleaning session before then to make things simpler and not as overwhelming. This is what I call fall cleaning. Here is my fall cleaning checklist including some great products!

Fall Cleaning Must-Haves

Cleaning all those surfaces, dust-free.

It does not take long for all that dust to build up, even if you feel like you dust daily. The switch from summer to fall always causes an influx of dust in our home. I think a lot of it is due to us opening up those windows and letting that (finally) cooler air enter into our home.

To get a head start on cleaning all those surfaces, you are going to want to start with the bigger surfaces and work your way down. I would start off with your blinds. Those things get nasty quick! From there, check out your fan blades because they get dusty even when you do not realize it. Of course the dust will trickle down to the other surfaces. You will clean those last.

Eco-Friendly Surface Cleaner

Boulder Clean products are a simple and convenient way to clean your surfaces without worrying about the ingredients. Boulder Clean’s plant-based cleaning power gets the job done and love how they are refillable cleaners! Keep those surfaces streak-free, haze-free and residue-free shine with their multi-surface cleaner.

Freshening up the living areas and Bedrooms.

Similar to dusting, freshening up your living areas and bedrooms is possibly already a daily or even weekly task. When you are fall cleaning, you are going to take it a step further. Switching over from summer to fall or even fall to winter is a big change for these areas of your home. Lighter blankets need to be switched out for heavier blankets. This is even true for clothing and bedding. Maybe you are all about adding festive pillow cases to your seating. No matter how you are preparing for the change in weather, you will need to wash items before you put them in storage.

Grab Green Laundry Products

Grab Green is another natural and Eco-friendly brand. Grab Green 3in1 Laundry Detergent Pods and Bleach Alternative Pods are the perfect way to tackle your most difficult laundry challenges, without harmful toxins or additives. The laundry detergent pods are easy and convenient to use. The chlorine free bleach pods are a safe bleach alternative perfect to tackle difficult stains, dingy colors & whites,
and difficult odors.

Grab Green Laundry Pods

I am all about washing and storing my out of season items with Grab Green. Use the code EcoGG15 to get 15% off Entire Website – GrabGreenHome.com until 11/30/2021!

Don’t forget to wipe down all the surfaces.

I know I mentioned dusting above, but you want to make sure you deep clean all the areas. This includes wiping down pantries, cabinets, doors, trims, baseboards, and even appliances. This is the best time to clean all the surfaces before the holidays and having all your family and friends for the holidays.

Re freshening all the areas.

I love to have my living areas smelling fresh and seasonal. Citrus Magic® Spray Air Freshener Collection is here with their Limited-Edition fall smells. The wonderful thing about Citrus Magic is that they are made with a naturally derived, citrus-based odor eliminator. Put that along with their natural ingredients and you are ready to get cozy and comfy with all the fall season vibes.

Fall Cleaning with Citrus Magic

You can grab a Variety Pack of all 3 scents for $14.99/3ct. These scents include: Citrus Magic® Cozy Pumpkin Chai, Citrus Magic® Crisp Autumn Apple, and Citrus Magic® Orange Spice Cider. Bring in the fall cleaning with all the fall scents with Citrus Magic!

Don’t forget to take care of those plants!

This is one thing most people will overlook, especially if they are not all about their plants. With the change in weather, you are going to want to figure out what your plants specific needs are. This is where I Love My Plants: A Gardening Journal by RP Studio comes into play. From houseplants and succulents to container gardens and vegetable patches, this plant journal covers it all. You can track your gardening progress and plot your growing dreams. It is great for both indoor and outdoor plants!

I Love My Plants Guided Journal

This perfectly guided journal is honestly great for any plant lover. You don’t have to have a ‘seasoned’ green thumb to get the most out of this journal. I was more than excited to see my snake plant in it! So when it comes to this cooler weather and fall cleaning, make sure to take care of those plants. Check it out here.

A fall cleaning checklist that is simple.

This fall cleaning checklist is simple. I intentionally did this because I know the chaos that surfaces during the fall months. When you take advantage of these small steps, you will see a huge difference when it comes to the time for spring cleaning! Plus, you will have a head start for the holiday gatherings. What are some ways you prepare your home for the fall season?

Hugs!

What do you do with these 3 things : @appalachian_ What do you do with these 3 things : @appalachian_cast_iron , LSU Football, and 1st tailgate of the season? You make a great recipe perfect for tailgating of course! This Handmade Carbon Steel Skillet from Appalachian Cast Iron is not only much easier to cook with compared to cast iron, each skillet is truly unique! The hammered texture is unique for each skillet, but the handle is even hand made and practical. With the precision grind of the cook surface, there is enough “tooth” for the seasoning to adhere - no worries of that seasoning flaking off like some carbon steel skillets. Also, you can personalize the bottom of the skillet!

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
-1/2 white onion, diced
-1 red bell pepper, sliced
-1 1/2 cups sliced bella mushrooms 
-1 tbsp minced garlic
-1 lb shaved beef steak 
-~2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-5-6 slices of provolone 
-salt/ pepper to taste
-Hawaiian Rolls

Add onion, red bell pepper, garlic to hot skillet and cook until tender, add mushrooms, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and salt/pepper and cook down until mushrooms darken and are more tender. Add water as needed; remove from skillet and add seasoned shave beef to a hot pan. Add 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and cook until meat is no longer pink. Add veggie mix back to pan and top with provolone. Allow to cook until cheese is melted. Serve on sliced Hawaiian Rolls!
