🍂 Are you closing up your holiday home for the winter months?
As the colder months are approaching, we're helping holiday homeowners prepare their properties for the winter period. 🏡
At A & A Quality Cleans, we offer end of season cleans which go beyond the typical cleaning routine. We give extra attention to the areas where moisture, mould and unpleasant smells can develop when the property is empty.
Here's just a few things we can do to help reduce these risks:
❄️ Fridges & Freezers
We thoroughly clean, defrost and dry fridges and freezers that are being switched off for the end of season, leaving the doors slightly ajar to air it out and help prevent mould and unpleasant smells developing.
🛏️ Mattresses & Sofa Cushions
Where possible, we lift mattresses and position removable sofa cushions to air them out, helping reduce the risk of trapped moisture and musty smells.
🪟 Curtains & Soft Furnishings
Soft furnishings can also trap moisture, particularly in empty properties when there is no heating or ventilation. We can help with removing and preparing curtains and other removable furnishings for suitable dry storage, where requested. Or alternatively, tying curtains back from windows to prevent them becoming damp with condensation that may develop.
🧹 A Thorough End of Season Clean
We pay particular attention to kitchens, bathrooms, bins, appliances and other areas where moisture, food debris and dirt can contribute to unpleasant smells, mould or encourage pests when the property is empty.
💙 Preparing Your Property for Winter
While cleaning alone cannot prevent damp or mould, taking these additional steps can help reduce some of the risks associated with leaving a property unoccupied.
📋 We've put together a handy Winter Shutdown Checklist, along with some practical recommendations to help prepare your holiday home for the colder months! 🍂🏡
🔑 We also offer optional winter property check-ins, providing extra peace of mind while your property is unoccupied. ❄️💙
