The jumpers are coming back out, the heating is creeping on, and we're spending more time indoors. Autumn is officially here.
And while spring might get all the attention when it comes to deep cleaning, autumn is the perfect time to give your home a reset.
Here are a few jobs worth ticking off before winter arrives.
1. Give Your Washing Machine a Deep Clean
When was the last time you cleaned the machine that cleans everything else?
Hair, detergent residue, limescale and dirt can gradually build up inside your washing machine, contributing to unwanted odours and affecting how fresh your laundry feels.
A regular deep clean helps remove that hidden build-up.
Vamoosh Washing Machine Cleaner is designed to:
- Dissolve hidden hair
- Remove limescale and detergent build-up
- Eliminate odours
- Kill 99.9% of bacteria
- Help prevent blockages
Simply add a sachet to your machine drawer and run your longest, hottest cycle.
2. Refresh Pet Bedding and Blankets
As the temperature drops, chances are your pet is spending even more time curled up on their favourite blanket or bed.
Unfortunately, that means more hair too.
Washing pet bedding regularly helps remove dirt, odours and the hair that becomes embedded in fabric.
Unlike regular laundry products, Vamoosh Pet Hair Dissolver uses Active Oxygen Technology to break down the keratin structure of hair so it can wash away during the cycle.

3. Check Your Plughole
Hair doesn't only cause problems in your washing machine.
Bathroom plugholes can gradually collect hair and soap scum, slowing down drainage and eventually contributing to a blockage.
If you've noticed water taking longer to disappear down the plughole, don't wait for it to become completely blocked.
Vamoosh Plughole Unblocker dissolves hair and soap scum to help keep water flowing freely.
4. Give Your Laundry a Wardrobe Refresh
Switching over your seasonal wardrobe?
It's the perfect opportunity to refresh anything that's been sitting at the back of the cupboard for months.
Wash clothes before bringing them back into rotation and check for marks, fading or discolouration while you're there.
Whites looking a little grey? Try Vamoosh Fabric Whitener Sheets to help bring back their brightness.
Washing mixed colours? Add a Vamoosh Colour Absorber Sheet to help trap loose dyes and protect against unwanted colour transfer.
5. Don't Forget the Forgotten Spots
Finally, tackle the places that don't always make it onto the weekly cleaning list.
Think:
- Behind furniture
- Skirting boards
- Radiators
- Under pet beds
- High-touch areas
You don't need to clean your entire house in one day. Tackling one room at a time makes an autumn reset much easier.
