How Often Should You Clean Your Home? A Seasonal Guide for Ontario Homeowners
Keeping your home clean in Ontario isn’t a one-size-fits-all task. With changing weather and seasonal shifts, your cleaning schedule should change too. Whether you’re brushing off the salt from winter boots or clearing leaves from your fall yard, this seasonal guide will help you stay on top of it all — without the overwhelm.
Spring Cleaning in Ontario: Out With the Old
- Weekly: Entryways, windows, dusting
- Monthly: Carpet refresh, appliance cleaning
- Seasonal: Declutter closets, prep outdoor spaces
Spring means melting snow, muddy shoes, and longer daylight hours — the perfect time for a full refresh, inside and out.
Summer Cleaning: Maintenance for the Busy Season
- Weekly: Mop high-traffic floors, clean bathrooms
- Monthly: Wash outdoor furniture, dust air vents
- Seasonal: Gutter cleaning, window washing
With more guests and outdoor activity, summer cleaning focuses on maintenance and surface freshness.
Fall Cleaning: Prep for the Cold
- Weekly: Leaf removal, tidy kitchen
- Monthly: Deep clean carpets, wash windows
- Seasonal: Check heating systems, clean chimney
As we move indoors, fall is all about cozy prep — and managing the mess that comes with shedding trees and changing wardrobes.
Winter Cleaning: Cozy and Controlled
- Weekly: Entryways (salt/snow), dust living areas
- Monthly: Deep clean bathrooms, kitchen touch-ups
- Seasonal: Curtain/blind cleaning, emergency prep
Salt, slush, and closed windows mean more mess and less ventilation. Keep it tidy to stay healthy and comfortable.
