Fall Is the Perfect Time for a Healthy Home Reset

Maid Brigade shares how to prepare a home for cold and flu season with eco-friendly cleaning solutions

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As temperatures cool, windows close and families spend more time indoors, Maid Brigade recommends a fall home reset to reduce summer dust and allergens and establish healthier cleaning habits before cold and flu season.

"Creating a healthier home before everyone gathers indoors can help families start the season with cleaner, more comfortable living spaces," said Rick Yohn, brand leader of Maid Brigade.

Maid Brigade offers the following guidance:

What areas collect dust but are often overlooked?

Ceiling fans, light fixtures, air vents, return registers, baseboards and window sills can collect dust and allergens. Cleaning them before windows remain closed for the season may improve indoor comfort.

Which frequently touched surfaces should be cleaned regularly?

Cabinet handles, faucets, television remotes, light switches and door handles are frequently touched but may be missed during routine cleaning.

What fabric surfaces should be refreshed?

Upholstered furniture and fabric headboards can hold dust, allergens, pet hair and odors. Vacuum these surfaces and follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.

How should pet areas be cleaned?

Wash pet beds and blankets according to their care instructions. Clean food and water bowls regularly, and wipe feeding areas to remove residue, hair and dirt.

Simple habits can help maintain a cleaner home throughout fall. Wipe down high-touch surfaces, wash bedding, clean reusable water bottles and disinfect entryways where shoes track in dirt and debris. This fall checklist can  make routine upkeep easier as families prepare for guests, holiday gatherings and more time indoors.

For homeowners seeking eco-friendly cleaning solutions and non-toxic home sanitizing, Maid Brigade's PUREcleaning® process uses electrolyzed water to clean surfaces without leaving chemical residue or overpowering scents.

"Many people assume a strong fragrance is proof that a home is clean," Yohn said. "In reality, a truly clean home doesn't need to smell like chemicals. A clean home should smell like nothing."
