As autumn settles in across the UK, now is the perfect time to give your home a thorough clean before winter. An autumn cleaning routine not only helps to declutter your space but also prepares your home for the colder, wetter months ahead. Follow this checklist to ensure your home stays cozy, clean, and organized throughout the season.
