The Ultimate Winter Cleaning Checklist for Melbourne Homes
As Melbourne’s winter settles in, maintaining a clean and healthy home becomes more important than ever. The cooler months often bring moisture, allergens, and dust build-up—especially indoors where windows stay shut and heating systems are in regular use.
Start your winter cleaning with high-traffic areas. Vacuum and mop floors regularly to reduce dirt and debris brought in by shoes. Pay special attention to rugs and carpets, as they can trap dust and bacteria during damp weather.
Wipe down windows and sills to prevent condensation-related mould. Dust hard-to-reach corners, behind furniture, and ceiling fans to keep indoor air fresh. Don’t forget to clean heating vents and filters, which often collect dust and allergens.
In bedrooms, wash heavy bedding, rotate mattresses, and freshen up wardrobes. Kitchens and bathrooms benefit from a deep scrub—especially grout lines, tiles, and behind appliances.
Lastly, consider steam cleaning soft furnishings like couches, curtains, and mattresses for a deeper refresh.
Staying on top of winter cleaning not only improves hygiene but also creates a more comfortable and inviting indoor space during the colder season.
