Fall Cleaning Checklist for Charleston Homes: Refresh Before the Holiday Rush

Charleston in September brings mild breezes, colorful leaves, and the promise of cozy indoor moments. While the Lowcountry may not face harsh northern winters, it’s still a season of transition — kids are back in school, guests begin visiting, and the holidays are around the corner.

That makes September the ideal time for a fall cleaning reset. With a fresh home, you’ll feel prepared to host gatherings, relax in comfort, and enjoy everything Charleston’s fall season has to offer.

1. Declutter and Organize

Start by clearing out closets, pantries, and garages. The less clutter you have, the easier it is to decorate and host during the upcoming holidays.

2. Deep Clean Common Areas

With more time indoors, focus on living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. Vacuum carpets, sanitize surfaces, and dust ceiling fans. Professional cleaners like Dunes Star ensure no detail is overlooked.

3. Prepare Guest Rooms

September is when many Charleston families begin prepping for relatives who will visit for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Wash bedding, vacuum floors, and refresh furniture to make guests feel welcome.
