October is a month full of fun, costume parties, festive décor, and the excitement of trick-or-treaters at your door. But before the candy bowls are filled and the decorations go up, it’s a great time to give your home a seasonal refresh. Whether you’re hosting a spooky get-together or just want your space looking its best for visiting ghosts and goblins, a clean home sets the perfect scene.
At Carvalho’s Cleaning, we make seasonal cleaning simple and stress-free, so you can focus on enjoying the Halloween festivities.
Clean Before You Decorate
Before setting out pumpkins and spider webs, start with a quick deep clean to give your fall décor a fresh foundation:
- Entryway and Porch: These are the first areas trick-or-treaters and guests will see. Sweep away leaves, dust off outdoor furniture, and wipe down doors and railings.
- Windows and Sills: Clean windows help decorations stand out and let in more natural light on those shorter autumn days.
- Living Areas: Dust shelves, vacuum floors, and clear clutter to make room for seasonal touches like pumpkins, candles, and Halloween displays.
Tips for Tidy Halloween Decor
Decorating for Halloween is fun—but can get messy fast if not handled with care. Here’s how to keep it clean:
- Use Easy-to-Clean Décor: Choose decorations that are simple to wipe down or store without damage. Avoid anything that sheds glitter or fake cobwebs that tangle easily.
- Store Smart: After Halloween, clean your decorations before packing them up. Store them in labeled bins to keep them organized and dust-free for next year.
- Avoid Damage: Use non-damaging hooks and adhesives to protect walls and furniture from scratches and residue.
Keep It Clean During Halloween Events
Planning to host a party or expecting a lot of foot traffic on Halloween night? Try these quick tips:
- Place mats inside and outside entrances to trap dirt and candy wrappers.
- Use disposable tablecloths and cups for easier post-party cleanup.
- Designate trash bins in key areas to keep clutter from building up.
- Do a quick nightly reset—wiping counters, sweeping floors, and tidying up high-traffic spots.
