SEASONAL CONDO
MAINTENANCE TIPS

One of the benefits of condo living is how easy this type of home is to maintain. There are no lawns for you to mow, no fences to repair, and the only shovelling you’ll ever do involves a tiny trowel, a small bag of potting soil, and plants in containers…if you choose.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that your condo unit will be completely maintenance-free. There are still several seasonal condo maintenance tasks that are essential to the comfort, cleanliness, and safety of your space.

With that in mind, here is a list a seasonal cleaning tips to help you keep your condo looking its best all year long:

Set aside a couple of times each year (usually spring and fall) to clear out the clutter. Go through and pare down the contents of every closet, pantry, and don’t forget your storage locker! You might be surprised by how much space you’ll reclaim in your locker once your clear out the excess.
Aside from the usual tasks of removing any old or expired contents, make time to give your fridge a seasonal deep clean throughout the year. This includes removing shelves and drawers, and then giving everything a thorough scrub with warm soapy water.
When spring is in the air, dust pollen and other allergens tend to be as well. Take this time and once again during the fall to vacuum common allergen traps like upholstery, window treatments, vents, and dryer lint traps. Cleaning out those lint traps is especially important. Not only can clogged lint traps and vents encourage the growth of mildew, but dryer lint is also highly flammable!
Your condo’s walls and baseboards are magnets for dust and grime, especially in the kitchen. Spring and Fall are optimal times to give them a wipe down with warm soapy water.
When it comes to maintaining your balcony space, there are two big seasons for maintenance: Spring and Fall. Spring cleaning tasks include removing any debris and cobwebs, then sweeping and mopping the floor (don’t forget to place rolled up towels along the perimeter to prevent any spill overs) prior to setting up any furniture. When prepping for winter, you’ll want to store rugs, furniture, and décor items, then give the floors another cleaning.
Twice a year (usually when the clocks change), you’ll want to test your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. This is also the time to change their batteries, particularly with the onset of fall.
