Labor Day weekend has come and gone and the days are starting to get colder and shorter. It’s time to start thinking about getting your homes interior and exterior ready for cold weather. The end of summer is the perfect time to take care of any remaining home maintenance projects. And prep your house for the upcoming fall and winter.

I’ll admit that I am completely obsessed with fall. So much so that I even get excited about the chance to clean up and pack away all of our summer stuff. Because that means I can bust out all of my fall decor, cozy blankets, and light all of my fall scented candles!!!!!!!

This summer has been particularly crazy. Between having a baby at the beginning of summer and hosting the majority of my younger brother’s wedding events at the end of August. I feel like my house is more disorganized than ever! I needed something to help me get back on track. So I created this fall cleaning checklist to help get my house clean, organized, and ready for my favorite time of year!!!!

Since there is so much to do in order to prep your house for the upcoming cold weather I actually created two different checklists. One for the interior of your home and one for the exterior. The tasks on these lists can be pretty time consuming so I would not suggest trying to tackle it all in one weekend. Enlist the help of your spouse or partner and knock a few items off this list over the course of a few weekends.

I would love to know what you guys do for your fall cleaning. If I left anything off this list or you have some great tips or tricks I would love to hear about it in the comments below!!
