Fall Cleaning Checklist
Clean Your Pantry
Declutter and organize your pantry before the fall season begins. Since fall is full of holidays and gatherings, an organized pantry can make your kitchen run more smoothly. Get rid of expired items, empty bottles, and containers. It would help you be aware of items you need to restock or maybe find items you need.

Test and Clean Your Smoke Detectors
One of the chores you should definitely add to your fall cleaning checklist is to clean accumulated dust in your smoke detector and replace the batteries if needed. Use your vacuum’s soft brush attachment to clean your detector’s openings.
Turn Your Mattress Over
Flipping your mattress can prevent body impressions from causing certain parts to slump. We also recommend sprinkling baking soda to neutralize odors and to vacuum it afterward.
Vacuum All Upholstered Surfaces
The last chore to check off your fall cleaning checklist is to vacuum sofas, chairs, mattresses, cushions, and every upholstered surface in your home.
