When the temperatures drop and we begin spending more time indoors, a clean and healthy home becomes more important than ever. Fall and winter bring more than just crisp air and cozy eveningsâthey also bring increased indoor allergens, tracked-in debris, and less ventilation. All of these factors make deep cleaning your home more frequently a necessity, not a luxury.
So how often should you deep clean during these colder months? Letâs break it down.

Seasonal Dirt and Dust: Why Cold Weather Makes Cleaning More Important
Fall and winter invite a lot into your home that you donât see:
- Leaves, mud, and salt from shoes
- Dust buildup from closed windows and dry air
- Pet dander and hair (especially as pets shed summer coats)
- Increased allergens and bacteria from guests or holiday activities
Because your home becomes more âsealed offâ from the outside, these particles donât escapeâthey accumulate. Without regular attention, this buildup can affect both your indoor air quality and your health.
What Is Considered a Deep Clean?
Deep cleaning goes beyond your regular wipe-downs and vacuuming. It typically includes:
- Baseboard and trim dusting
- Behind and under furniture cleaning
- Detailed kitchen appliance sanitizing
- Shower, tub, and tile scrubbing
- Grout cleaning and resealing
- Window and blind washing
- Air vent dust removal
- Mattress vacuuming and bedding sanitization
TopClean offers expert housekeeping and maid services that cover every one of these tasks, so you donât have to stress about doing it all yourself.
How Often Should You Deep Clean in Fall and Winter?
While deep cleaning is often viewed as a âspring-onlyâ task, fall and winter warrant their own schedule. Here’s a guideline:
Monthly:
- Clean baseboards, ceiling fans, and light fixtures
- Vacuum under and behind furniture
- Scrub bathroom tiles and fixtures
- Disinfect kitchen appliances
Bi-Weekly:
- Wipe down high-touch surfaces like doorknobs and remotes
- Clean out the refrigerator
- Deep vacuum carpets and rugs
Seasonally (every 3 months):
- Shampoo carpets or have them professionally cleaned
- Wash windows and screens
- Clean and inspect fireplace or heating vents
- Declutter closets and rotate seasonal clothing
For many homeowners, these tasks can feel like a full-time job. Thatâs where TopCleanâs professionally trained maid teams come inâthey handle all the deep cleaning for you with efficiency, precision, and care.
Does Deep Cleaning Really Improve Indoor Air Quality?
Absolutely. According to the EPA, indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air during fall and winter, especially in tightly sealed homes. Deep cleaning:
- Removes allergens like dust mites and mold spores
- Reduces pet dander and hair
- Prevents bacteria buildup in high-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens
A professionally cleaned home isn’t just tidierâitâs healthier for your family.
