Tips For Fall Cleaning

You may not like it, but as we approach mid-September, it’s time to think about Fall cleaning. Fall brings back to school, cold weather (for some) and all the things we love about summer coming to a close. However, fall cleaning shouldn’t be hard, and we have some tips to help you through it.

Fall Cleaning Tips

Supplies in each room

One way to save time is to have cleaning supplies in each and every room that needs regular cleaning. This will help you be more efficient as you don’t have to lug around supplies to different corners of the home. It also saves you from buying supplies as often, when each room has its own cleaner, the less frequent you need to buy.

Get rid of summer clothes

Put away the bathing suits and stash the shorts. Save space by storing away your summer clothes. While you are doing this, you can even decide to throw away or donate certain items that will not be coming back out next year. This does two things, saves space and helps the less fortunate.

Clean in Order

Top to bottom is the best way. By having a process, it will allow you to become more efficient when you clean. If your cleaning is erratic, there is a good chance you will not get every nook and cranny.

Don’t forget those hidden spots

We have complied a little list for those forgetful but important places that are often overlooked for fall cleaning.

Walls, baseboards, cabinets
light fixtures
air vents, wall and ceiling fixtures
door frames
under cabinets and counters
small, tricky corners
underneath and behind furniture and appliances

Whenever you decide to face fall and start the clean, be sure to follow these tips. If you need to store summer items such as patio furniture and pool toys, contact North Shore Mini Storage today for the most affordable storage in North Vancouver.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
