As the air turns crisp and summer starts to fade, September is the perfect time to refresh your home and get it ready for the cooler months ahead. At Millennium Home Services, we know that a clean, well-maintained home isn’t just about appearances—it’s about comfort, safety, and protecting your investment.
Here are our top September cleaning and maintenance tips to help you transition smoothly into fall:
1. Deep Clean Your Entryway
With leaves, dirt, and moisture on the way, your entryway is about to become a high-traffic zone.
Shake out and wash door mats.
Wipe down doors, knobs, and switches.
Add a boot tray to help contain mud and water.
2. Clean Windows & Screens
Fall light is beautiful—let it shine in through streak-free windows!
Wash interior and exterior windows.
Remove and rinse window screens.
Check for any cracks or damage to seal before winter.
3. Tidy Up the Laundry Room
Cooler months mean heavier clothing and more laundry. Get your space ready.
Wipe down machines and clear lint traps.
Clean behind appliances.
Check hoses for signs of wear or leaks.
4. Declutter & Donate
Back-to-school season is a great time to reassess clutter.
Go through closets and donate unused clothing.
Organize storage bins and label seasonal items.
Toss expired pantry or bathroom products.
5. Clean Ceiling Fans & Light Fixtures
You’re likely using ceiling fans less now—give them a good clean.
Use a microfiber cloth or fan duster.
Wipe light fixtures and change any burnt-out bulbs.
Consider switching fan direction for fall (clockwise on low).
6. Bathroom Refresh
With kids back in school and guests around the corner for holidays, keep bathrooms in top shape.
Clean grout and reseal if necessary.
Wash shower curtains and bath mats.
Restock supplies and organize cabinets.
