How to Make Your Home Ready for Autumn

Although most of it is long for the summer months, whether you like it or not- Autumn is here! Here at We Buy Any House, we have compiled our top tips on how to make your home ready for Autumn. 

Give the House a Deep Clean:

First things first, you will need to give the entirety of your house a deep clean. It’s important to remember that spring cleans aren’t just reserved for the transition into the warmer months. Autumn is the perfect time to give your property a deep cleanliness and prepare for the upcoming winter months. Especially as the Autum and Winter season is the season in which our property is decorated multiple times (throughout Halloween and eventually, Christmas). Start by going room by room in the interior of your house, and then eventually work towards the outside of your house.

Don’t Forget to Clean Your Gutters:

Autumn is the perfect time of year to clear your gutters. If your gutters are not cleaned out properly, then you run the risk of your water being clogged and being unable to run through the pipes properly. Although you can hire someone professional to come and clean your gutters, doing it yourself- by using a trowel and scraping it along the gutter is easy enough. It’s important to not let any of the debris get down the drain, as this could cause further damage to your drainage system.

Get the Fireplace Ready:

Getting the fireplace ready is one of the best things you can do when it comes to getting your house ready for Autumn. Throughout the colder months, homeowners tend to use their fireplaces as a way to not only heat the house, but as a way to create an ambiance in the property. If you are going to use your fireplace, then you should think about lining the area with old newspapers and giving the area a clean. Then, use a wire brush to get rid of any loose ash and dust that is lingering around the area. Finally, use some baking soda and warm water to really clear the area off any remaining debris.

Set an Atmosphere with an Autumn Scent:

Our sense of our smell is one of the most powerful things we have. Therefore, in order to get your home ready for Autumn, why not start by adding an Autumn scent to your home, so that when people come into your house, they really feel like they have a bit of the season with them. Scents such as ginger, cinnamon, pumpkin pies or cedar woodwork perfectly. And for the final nod to the warmth and cosiness to your Autumn home, throw in a few dotted tealight candles around the room to finish off the atmosphere.
