Don’t forget to do a final gutter cleaning of the season. Make sure your gutters are safely secured to the house and clean your downspouts of any debris.
Clean your dryer vent! Make sure to remove lint from the dryer’s exhaust duct and the area behind the machine.
Turn your ceiling fans on reverse. Flip the switch on your ceiling fans so they rotate clockwise, pushing warm air down.
Colder weather presents a great opportunity to clean up your garden beds. Remove spent annuals, trim back perennials, and add mulch to protect roots.
If your leaf layer isn’t too thick, consider mowing the leaves, which acts as a natural fertilizer, saving you time and effort! If the leaf layer is thick or wet, make sure to rake first.
