Summer in Nashua brings sunshine, barbecues, pool days—and an increase in messes around the home. From sandy shoes to sticky countertops and heavier foot traffic, the warm months demand a smarter, more proactive approach to cleaning. At Big Big Clean, we believe that a clean space is a cool space, so we have a few summer cleaning tips we’d like to share. Our expert cleaners know how to keep things spotless, safe, and fresh—even in the middle of a New Hampshire heatwave.
Whether you’re hosting weekend guests, tackling a summer project, or just trying to keep up with daily life, these summer cleaning tips will help you maintain a healthy and clutter-free home all season long.
1. Freshen Up the Entryway with our Summer Cleaning Tips
Your entryway is your home’s first impression—and in the summer, it’s also the frontline for dirt, grass, and sand.
Tips to try:
- Place double doormats (outside and inside) to trap debris.
- Set up a shoe-removal station with a bin or rack and encourage guests to use it.
- Clean the door handle, light switch, and floor weekly to prevent buildup.
This small area can collect a surprising amount of grime. A clean, organized entry keeps the mess from spreading throughout the home.
2. Revamp Your Summer Cleaning Routine
Summer often means more activities, altered routines, and extra houseguests. Adjust your cleaning plan to meet your household’s seasonal needs:
- Wipe down countertops and bathroom fixtures daily.
- Dust and disinfect ceiling fans, vents, and AC units—they circulate everything from dust to allergens.
- Keep a basket of essentials (disinfecting wipes, paper towels, etc.) in each high-traffic area for quick cleanups.
Rotating through high-use zones every few days can help you stay on top of messes before they pile up.
3. Swap in Summer-Friendly Fabrics
Heavy fabrics trap heat and dust. Switching to lightweight, breathable materials helps keep your home cool and clean:
- Replace heavy curtains and throws with cotton or linen options.
- Vacuum upholstered furniture more frequently to remove dust and pet hair.
- Wash throw pillows and slipcovers every two weeks to maintain freshness.
Fresh fabrics instantly lighten the feel of your space—and cut down on allergens.
4. Watch Out for Moisture
Humidity levels rise in the summer, which can lead to unpleasant smells, sticky surfaces, and mold risks.
To prevent problems:
- Use a dehumidifier in areas prone to dampness (especially basements).
- Run ventilation fans during and after showers or cooking.
- Clean AC filters at least once a month to promote air circulation and quality.
A dry home is not only more comfortable—it’s healthier too.
5. Stay on Top of Outdoor Messes
With summer comes more time spent outside—and more dirt and grass tracked back in.
Tips for keeping outdoor messes at bay:
- Keep outdoor seating areas swept and wipe down tables weekly.
- Rinse off pools toys, sandals, and pet paws before coming inside.
- Store muddy or sandy items in a designated bin or storage spot near the door.
Creating a barrier between the outdoors and indoors will save you hours of cleaning time later.
