Once more, the Santa Ana winds have blown by and caused their annual destruction, spate of forest fires, and general disturbance for Los Angeles County and coastal Southern California in general. Dozens of homes and other buildings have been destroyed. Many more have suffered damage or soiling. It could be that your home has been affected by one or more of these fires. Or perhaps you’ve been letting the cleaning and yard work slide while the weather has been good and you’ve been taking full advantage of the many opportunities Los Angeles provides for fair weather activities. Regardless of the cause, if you’re in need of seasonal fall cleaning for your Los Angeles home, Nancie Brown & Associates are ready to help. We are a professional cleaning company with decades of experience providing gold standard service for LA home and business owners.
Fall Maintenance Tips for Your California Home
Many people say that Los Angeles is a city of no seasons. But that isn’t the truth. If nothing else, the yearly bombardment of debris after the Santa Anas is a regular sign that the seasons are shifting. Home maintenance during the colder seasons is imperative, and we know what should be done to protect your property.
- Make sure your roof is ready for Socal’s rainy season. Inspect it carefully and replace any broken or missing shingles.
- Regularly clean your gutters and downspouts. During fall and winter it is easy for plant and general debris to accumulate in your gutters. This can cause water to overflow and collect on your roof, leading to wood rot and additional damage to your home.
- Ensure that the area around your home grades away from you, with downspouts draining out three or four feet away from the foundation. If your gutters drain improperly you can suffer foundation issues.
- Seal your windows and doors properly. Your heated air needs to be kept in, and drafts out, which can mean caulking windows and checking weather stripping on exterior doors.
- Have your windows cleaned. Clean windows let in more natural heat.
- Open curtains and shades during the day to let more heat and light in. This can save you money on your winter heating bill. Just don’t forget to close them at night in order to keep the heat inside.
House Cleaning Service Los Angeles
Heading into the holiday season, it’s to be expected that you’ll be entertaining more guests, perhaps even family, at your home. It’s a great time of year to put a little money into cleanup services. Whether they’re helping you prepare for the arrival of people you need to impress, or helping you get things shipshape after the turkey’s been eaten and it’s back to normality, a good cleaning or maid service can make your holidays much easier to handle. After all, there are multiple benefits to a clean home. When your home is clean and organized, you and your family will spend less time looking for things lost in the clutter, meaning that you’ll be more productive. Additionally, it has been established by modern psychology that a tidier home is a mentally healthier home. Spring cleaning, or more regular cleaning efforts, will improve the quality of attention you are able to give to a task by reducing the additional stimuli your senses are processing. It reduces anxiety and guilt by keeping the number of tasks that are visibly unfinished lower. Most people find themselves at their most creatively productive in open spaces: thinking, brainstorming, and problem solving are all harder when your living space is messy.
Of course, a tidier home is also a physically healthier home. The National Sleep Foundation found that something as simple as making your bed in the morning makes it approximately 20% likelier than you’ll get a good night’s rest that night. Certainly, a clean home is a home where germs and bacteria have fewer places to take root. The longer carpeting, bedding, and furniture are allowed to accumulate dust and allergens without cleaning, the more hazardous they can be to asthma and allergy symptoms. Vacuuming and dusting is one front of the battle. Another is actually decluttering your home so that there are fewer surfaces for dust and dirt to adhere to. Using covered boxes and other storage solutions means that cleaning becomes more straightforward and also reduces the likelihood of clutter. This can be especially important around fall and winter, with relatives and friends coming from out of town and staying for the holidays. You don’t want them to be miserable because your home is a haven for their allergens.
