Post-Summer Deep Cleaning Checklist for San Diego Homes

Summer Fun = Extra Cleaning

Summer in San Diego means beach days, BBQs, hiking trails, and more time spent outdoors. While the memories are priceless, the sand, salt, dust, and spills left behind can linger long after the last summer sunset.

September is the perfect time to reset your home and prepare for the cooler months ahead.

At Ecoclean Services, we specialize in deep cleaning solutions that tackle the toughest post-summer mess—so your home is fresh, healthy, and ready for fall.

1. Refresh Your Carpets & Rugs

Why it matters: Summer brings in sand, pollen, and dirt that settle deep into carpet fibers, causing odors and wear.

What to do:

  • Vacuum slowly in multiple directions.

  • Spot-treat stains right away.

  • Book a professional carpet cleaning to remove embedded dirt and allergens.

Pro tip: Our hot water extraction method leaves carpets fresh and almost completely dry in hours.

2. Power Wash Outdoor Surfaces

Why it matters: Patios, driveways, and siding can collect grime, mold, and BBQ residue over the summer.

What to do:

  • Sweep away loose debris.

  • Power wash patios, driveways, and outdoor furniture.

  • Remove algae or moss from shaded areas to prevent slipping hazards.

Ecoclean’s eco-friendly power washing restores surfaces without harsh chemicals—safe for pets and plants.

3. Deep Clean Tile & Grout

Why it matters: Kitchens and bathrooms see heavy summer traffic—spills, sunscreen residue, and humidity can stain grout.

What to do:

  • Use a pH-neutral cleaner for tile.

  • Scrub grout lines gently with a baking soda paste for surface stains.

  • For stubborn buildup, hire a professional tile & grout cleaning service.

4. Freshen Upholstery & Furniture

Why it matters: More guests and gatherings often mean more wear and tear on sofas and chairs.

What to do:

  • Vacuum upholstered furniture with a brush attachment.

  • Spot-clean any visible stains.

  • Consider steam cleaning for a complete refresh.

5. Roof & Gutter Maintenance

Why it matters: Dry summer leaves behind dust, debris, and leaves that can clog gutters before the rainy season.

What to do:

  • Safely remove leaves and debris from gutters.

  • Inspect your roof for moss, algae, or damage.

  • Schedule roof cleaning to extend roof life and improve curb appeal.

6. Window & Screen Cleaning

Why it matters: Summer dust and ocean spray can dull glass and block natural light.

What to do:

  • Remove screens and rinse with soapy water.

  • Clean glass with a streak-free solution.

  • Dry with a microfiber cloth for the best shine.

7. Air Quality Boost

Why it matters: Clean air is essential, especially as windows start closing in cooler months.

What to do:

  • Replace HVAC filters.

  • Dust vents and ceiling fans.

  • Vacuum and wipe blinds or drapes.
