It’s officially pre-fall here in Northern Colorado, which means now is the time to stay ahead of the seasonal shift. Whether you’re a longtime homeowner or recently moved in, this month’s checklist will help your home feel ready for sweater weather—and keep things running smoothly.
🧽 September Maintenance Must-Do’s
Clean out clothes from the previous season(s)
Sort, donate, or store to clear the clutter before colder weather sets in.
Dust blinds and clean windows
Take advantage of warmer days to get those windows sparkling—inside and out.
Clean out the dishwasher filter
You’d be surprised how much grime hides in there—freshen it up before all those cozy, home-cooked fall meals.
Deep clean dryer vents
This one’s a safety must—prevent lint buildup and reduce fire risk.
Clean and organize the garage
Get ready for colder months by making space for seasonal gear and holiday storage.
Stock up on citronella or a bug zapper
Early fall evenings are prime for outdoor hangs—keep the bugs at bay for backyard bliss.
