3 Household Jobs For The Autumn

With the long days on the way out, and the temperatures dropping each week, it’s time to start thinking about household maintenance for the new season. But how is this different to spring cleaning? Here are three simple homekeeping tasks to get you started.
1. Bring your garden back to life
Chances are all that remains of your backyard is a patch of brown grass and perhaps a few sad-looking flowerbeds. In the height of summer, maintaining a healthy garden can be difficult in the parts of Australia with an extremely arid climate - without careful timing, your water will evaporate and simply go to waste. Cooler temperatures and less intense sunlight make it easier for your plant life to maximise the moisture you provide, making autumn a great time for getting into a new watering routine.
2. Tackle that paint job
Another benefit of the dropping temperatures is that manual labour doesn’t leave you drenched in sweat and racing for the nearest swimming pool. In autumn, it’s still warm enough for paint to dry but not so warm it dries too quickly and causes lumping and streaking - plus, it’s all-in-all a much more comfortable DIY experience for you.
3. Deep-clean the bathroom
Rainy days can make it hard to muster the enthusiasm for such menial household tasks - sadly, though, the increased precipitation also increases the risk of mould and mildew in your home. Prevention is better than cure so be sure to catch this early to keep your bathroom squeaky clean all throughout winter!
Happy autumn!
