As the leaves start to fall and the air gets crisper, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead. While many homeowners tackle the basics like storing patio furniture and swapping out seasonal wardrobes, there are a few key fall cleaning tasks that often get missed — and skipping them can lead to dust build-up, allergies, and even costly repairs later on.

Here’s a checklist of the top 10 often-overlooked fall cleaning tasks to help you give your home the refresh it deserves:


✅ Top 10 Commonly Missed Fall Cleaning Tasks:

  1. Clean Behind and Under Appliances
    Dust, grease, and crumbs love hiding under the fridge and stove — and pests do too.
  2. Vacuum Baseboards and Ceiling Corners
    These spots collect dust and cobwebs year-round and are easy to miss.
  3. Wash Window Screens and Interior Glass
    Summer pollen and grime leave a film that dims natural light.
  4. Wipe Down Light Fixtures and Fans
    Dusty fixtures can reduce brightness and circulate allergens.
  5. Disinfect Door Handles, Switch Plates & Remote Controls
    Cold and flu season is coming — sanitize those high-touch surfaces.
  6. Clear Out the Pantry
    Check expiration dates and wipe down shelves before holiday cooking begins.
  7. Deep Clean Upholstery and Curtains
    Fabric traps odors, dust, and allergens over time.
  8. Clean and Inspect Air Vents & Filters
    Your HVAC system works harder in fall — make sure it’s clean and safe.
  9. Polish Wood Furniture
    Conditioning wood prevents cracking from dry indoor air.
  10. Declutter the Entryway
    Make room for jackets, boots, and umbrellas — and reduce tripping hazards.
