I am sure you have heard of spring cleaning, but what about fall cleaning? Doing a deep clean of your apartment is a great idea. Once all comes, we know the holidays will be in full swing soon, and you will be so busy.  Organize your drawers, dust your ceiling fan and washing your bedding are just a few tips from our Fall Cleaning Checklist. This is also a great time to switch out your shorts and tank tops in your closets for long sleeves, sweaters and coats.
