Writer's picture: Jenesyss Jenesyss


As the air cools and the leaves change, it's the perfect time to give your home a deep cleaning and prepare for the coziest season of the year. A thorough fall cleaning not only makes your space feel refreshed but also sets the stage for a comfortable, warm home during the colder months.


Here’s a comprehensive checklist to get your home ready for fall, with a special focus on seasonal maintenance for those in NYC!




Seasonal Maintenance for NYC Residents


NYC winters can be harsh making seasonal maintenance key to make sure your home remains comfortable and secure during the colder months. Here are some important tasks to tackle before the temperature drops.


1. Seal Drafty Windows and Doors

Since NYC winters can be intense, it's important to stop drafts from making your apartment or home chilly. Check all your windows and doors for gaps, and apply weatherstripping or caulk to seal them. If your windows are old and leaky, think about investing in draft guards or plastic window insulation kits found in Home Depot, Target, and Lowe’s! 


BSC Tip:

Draft-proofing your windows can at times reduce your heating bills!


2. Check and Clean Gutters

If you own a property, you have to know that cleaning the gutters is super important to prevent water damage. NYC’s frequent fall rains can cause gutters to clog with leaves and debris, leading to water overflow and leaks. Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear, so water drains properly. 


3, Prepare Your Outdoor Spaces

For those who have outdoor patios or terraces, fall is the time to store away anything summer related. Clean and cover any outdoor furniture, and stow away items like grills and cushions that can be damaged by the winter weather.


BSC Tip:

For small NYC balconies, think about using vertical storage or weatherproof containers to save space while keeping items protected.


Wrap-Up: Enjoy Fall with a Clean, Cozy Home
