Dirt, dust, pollen, bugs and the likes will have pile up around your windows over the spring and season months. So, start from your window and give it a good cleaning. You can use surface cleaner or soapy water for the cleaning. However, the first thing you might want to do before cleaning the windows is your curtains (you can either wash them yourself or hire the service of a professional).

4.    Flip your mattress

When you turn back, your furniture and appliances don’t forget to turn your mattress over too. Doing this will help prevent your mattress to slump due to body impression on certain spots. Also, sprinkle some baking soda on it and vacuum it up to neutralize odors.

5.    Tackle the Refrigerator

Well, lifting it to clean out the dirt under it is not enough. Open the refrigerator and check for expired content and discard anything that you don’t need anymore. Clean out the shelf, dust and lint buildup. Doing this can reduce the cooling performance of your refrigerator.

6.    Clean carpets either DIY or hire a professional

Cleaning your carpet is not that hard, but for old people, this might be hard, so you can rent a machine at almost any home improvement center or have a professional come to the house. The bottom line is that fall is the best time to clear out all the dust, dirt and other bacteria from your carpet.
