You may think spring is the season for cleaning, but cold winter weather brings friends and family indoors, making this the best time to prepare a clean home. Use this checklist to make sure your home is ready for cozy nights and cooler temperatures.

What To Switch Out

Many homes feature different linens and rugs for winter, as well as closets full of warmer outerwear. Switch out these items at the end of fall to get your house ready for the coming season.

- Change area rugs around your house to sturdier, water resistant options if possible. If you don't normally use doormats, winter is the time to change that. Using stain and water resistant floor covering and doormats will help keep mud and water covered shoes from tracking their debris onto your carpets and furniture.
