An autumn deep clean leaves carpets and floors fresh before the winter months indoors. With the right approach and tools, you can get near-professional results at home. Here's how.
Start with a thorough vacuum
Slow, overlapping passes lift far more than a quick once-over. Use the crevice tool along skirting and a good vacuum with strong suction to pull out embedded grit before it wears the fibres.
Deep-clean carpets
- Treat stains promptly, blotting (not rubbing) with a suitable cleaner.
- A carpet washer injects and extracts cleaning solution for a proper deep clean.
- Freshen with a sprinkle of carpet deodoriser before vacuuming.
Refresh hard floors
On sealed hard floors, a steam mop sanitises with just water — brilliant for tile and sealed laminate. (Check your floor's guidance first, and go easy on delicate or unsealed surfaces.)
Keep it cleaner for longer
- Doormats at every entrance to catch grit.
- A no-shoes rule indoors.
- A robot vacuum for daily upkeep between deep cleans.
