Winter Cleaning Tips: A Renter’s Guide to a Cozy, Clutter-Free Home

Winter is all about hot cocoa, cozy blankets, and holiday vibes—but it’s also the season when dust, clutter, and stuffy air can take over. A little seasonal cleaning can help keep your Legacy Living home in Owasso feeling fresh, warm, and welcoming all winter long.

Here’s your renter-friendly guide to prepping your home for the season!

Refresh the Air (No Windows Required!)

Cold weather means we’re keeping windows shut, which can lead to stale air. Try:
💨 An air purifier to keep dust and allergens at bay
🌿 Houseplants like peace lilies or snake plants to naturally freshen the air
💦 A humidifier to combat dry winter air and make your space feel cozy

Deep Clean Soft Surfaces

Winter = more time indoors, meaning couches, rugs, and bedding need extra love. Tackle:
🛋 Vacuuming and spot-cleaning upholstery to get rid of dust and pet dander
🛏 Washing bedding weekly (bonus points for switching to cozy flannel sheets!)
🚪 Wiping down curtains or using a fabric refresher for an extra clean feel

Declutter & Make Space for Winter Essentials

Trade out summer gear for winter must-haves with smart, storage-friendly swaps:
🧥 Use over-the-door hooks for coats, scarves, and hats
🛍 Fold-away storage bins to keep holiday decor organized
👢 Boot trays by the door to avoid tracking in mud & snow

Keep Floors & Surfaces Sparkling

With winter weather, dirt and salt get tracked inside way too easily. Stay ahead with:
🧹 A doormat + a quick daily sweep to keep floors tidy
🧼 Multipurpose disinfecting wipes for quick counter touch-ups
🧽 A mini handheld vacuum to easily tackle crumbs and dust

Cozy Up Your Space Without the Clutter

Make your home feel warm and inviting with seasonal swaps that won’t take over your space:
🔥 Chunky knit blankets & throw pillows for instant coziness
🕯 Battery-powered LED candles for a cozy glow (no open flames needed!)
🌲 A flameless essential oil diffuser with winter scents like pine or cinnamon

A little seasonal cleaning goes a long way! These winter-ready tips will keep your Legacy Living home feeling fresh, comfy, and totally stress-free all season long.
