Fall House Cleaning in Winnipeg: Pre-Winter Checklist
Fall is the best time for a thorough house cleaning in Winnipeg. Once the cold arrives, windows stay shut for months, the heating runs every day and dust settles on heaters, baseboards and vents. A fall cleaning focuses on the kitchen, bathrooms, heaters and baseboards, and the floors before winter boots arrive. With Clean and Shiny, deep cleaning starts at $280 before taxes and regular cleaning starts at $105.
Here is a room-by-room pre-winter checklist, what you can do yourself, what to leave to a cleaning team and what it costs.
Why clean your Winnipeg home before winter?
Long months indoors: with the windows closed, dust and cooking smells stay inside, so it pays to start the season with a clean home.
Heating season: heaters, baseboards and ventilation grilles collect dust that circulates once the heat comes on.
Salt and sand: a clean floor before winter makes it easier to keep up with what gets tracked in every day.
The holidays: a deep clean in the fall means less to do when family and friends visit.

What to do yourself and what to leave to a cleaning team
Some fall jobs are personal and quick to do on your own: swapping summer clothes for winter clothes, sorting the closets and getting boots, mats and shovels ready at the door. The time-consuming work, such as walls, the inside of appliances, bathrooms scrubbed top to bottom and every baseboard in the house, is where a cleaning team saves you a full weekend.

Frequently asked questions
When should I do a fall cleaning in Winnipeg?
Before the cold sets in for good, usually in October or early November. That way the windows can still be opened to air the house, and your home is ready before the holidays.
Should I book a deep cleaning or a regular cleaning in the fall?
If your home has not had a thorough clean since spring, book a deep cleaning. It adds tasks such as walls and the inside of appliances. If your home is already maintained regularly, a regular cleaning with a few extra tasks may be enough.
Do you clean exterior windows before winter?
No. We do not provide exterior window cleaning. Cleaning the edges and inside of windows can be requested.
Is the inside of the oven and fridge included?
In a deep cleaning, yes: the inside and outside of the appliances are part of the service. In a regular cleaning, it is a special task that has to be requested in advance.
How often should I book cleanings during the winter?
Many households switch to weekly or every-two-weeks cleaning in winter, when salt and sand get tracked in every day. Weekly service is $35 per hour and every two weeks is $43 per hour, before taxes.
