Long days, real warmth and outdoor living define the season. But before you switch fully to summer mode, there are a handful of things in your home that benefit from a proper clean before the heat arrives.&nbsp;Summer changes how you use your home: windows open constantly, more people come and go, the kitchen works harder for outdoor entertaining, and pollen and dust accumulate differently. <\/p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;Here are the 7 things worth tackling before summer is in full swing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>1. Windows and Window Tracks<\/h3>\n<p>Now that you&rsquo;re going to be opening windows every day, clean them properly before summer begins. Pay special attention to the window tracks and runners &mdash; they accumulate dead insects, grit and moisture residue from winter and need a thorough clean before summer use.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Outdoor Furniture and the Balcony<\/h3>\n<p>Bring out garden and balcony furniture and clean it before use &mdash; most pieces have been in storage since autumn and will have accumulated dust, mould spots or surface rust. Clean the balcony or terrace floor before setting up furniture.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Refrigerator Deep Clean<\/h3>\n<p>As temperatures rise, the fridge works harder and old food residue can develop odours faster. Before summer, remove everything, wipe all interior surfaces, check the door seals for mould and clean the condensation drain at the back.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Extractor Hood and Kitchen Ventilation<\/h3>\n<p>Summer cooking &mdash; including on the BBQ &mdash; generates heat and grease. Make sure your kitchen ventilation is clean and efficient before the season peaks. Replace the grease filter if you haven&rsquo;t done so since spring.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Bathroom Tiles and Grout<\/h3>\n<p>Higher temperatures and more frequent showering during summer mean bacteria and mould grow faster in bathrooms. A descale and grout scrub now will keep your bathroom fresh throughout the season.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Bedroom Textiles<\/h3>\n<p>Swap winter duvets for lighter summer alternatives &mdash; and wash both before storing the winter ones. Wash all pillow covers, mattress protectors and curtains. Vacuum the mattress surface.<\/p>\n<h3>7. The Hallway &mdash; Again<\/h3>\n<p>Summer brings in sand, pollen and different outdoor dirt. Before the season starts, clean the shoe rack thoroughly, wash the floor mat and wipe down all hallway surfaces. This sets a clean baseline for the season&rsquo;s daily traffic.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4b4800e1 pbmit-col-stretched-none pbmit-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4b4800e1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5618db58 pbmit-bg-image-over-color\" data-id=\"5618db58\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings='{\"background_background\":\"classic\"}'>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-59dfe5f1 pbmit-col-stretched-none pbmit-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59dfe5f1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-624cfbbb pbmit-text-color-white pbmit-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"624cfbbb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7777eafc elementor-widget elementor-widget-pbmit_heading\" data-id=\"7777eafc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pbmit_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t <div class=\"pbmit-heading-subheading pbmit-heading-subheading-style-1 pbmit-reverse-heading-yes animation-style4\"><h4 class=\"pbmit-element-subtitle\"><span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\tBook a Pre-Summer Clean\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"pbmit-element-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\tWant all of this done at once, without spending your weekend on it?&lrm;\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pbmit-heading-desc\">Duved St&auml;dservice offers pre-summer deep cleaning &mdash;
