August HOME TO-DO's
As summer winds down and the school year approaches, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the busy months ahead. Here are some essential tasks to tackle this month:
- Deep Clean Rugs and Carpets: Take advantage of the warm Jacksonville weather to deep clean your rugs and carpets. The heat will help them dry faster, leaving your home fresh and ready for the season.
- Organize the Drop Zone: With back-to-school just days away, it's important to clean and organize your home's "drop zone." Create a functional space for backpacks, shoes, and other daily essentials to keep your home clutter-free.
- Store Summer Gear: Clean and store summer items like sports equipment, beach chairs, and camping supplies. Proper storage will keep them in good condition for next year and free up space in your home.
- Clean Vehicle Interiors: After a summer of travel, your car's interior could use some attention. Now is the perfect time to clean and organize your vehicle, getting it ready for the school year runaround.
- Organize Closets: Go through your closets and have your kids try on their clothes. With growth spurts over the summer, you might find that not much fits anymore! Organizing now will make getting ready for school mornings much easier.
By tackling these tasks, you can ensure your home is ready for a smooth transition into the new school year.
