Experts recommend cleaning and organizing in phases starting in November. Do the entrance, bathroom and balcony window work first, then use odd times to deal with small areas, and arrange separation according to the garbage collection day, so that the year-end cleaning is no longer difficult.
2026 is about to end, and the dust and clutter accumulated in your home should be cleared before the year ends. Japanese media “Asahi Shiki” reported that home cleaning and storage experts recommend starting cleaning in stages from November, first deal with key areas, then use odd times to organize items, and schedule them with garbage collection days, so as not to be too busy with general cleaning in December.
Cleaning experts say it’s a good time to clean before the weather officially turns cold, and they recommend prioritizing three areas in November:
1. Entrance: Take out all the shoes from the shoe cabinet, remove dust and sand, and then wipe the shelves with a sterilizing wet wipe. Organize the entrance hall in advance, and only need to do a simple cleaning at the end of the year, which can be completed in 10 minutes.
2. Bathroom: Use a brush to evenly apply the mildew remover to the floor, let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes, and then rinse with water.
3. Outside the balcony and windows: Sweep away fallen leaves and dust, then wipe the railing and windows. Experts remind that if the balcony drain is blocked by fallen leaves, it may cause mold or moss to grow; When the weather gets colder, water temperatures are lower, so flushing and cleaning can be left until spring.
