Spring cleaning is a South African tradition too, even if our seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere. Here’s a checklist suited to Cape Town’s climate specifically.
After the wet winter
Winter’s rain leaves damp, mould-prone spots worth addressing as the weather turns, bathroom sealant, window sills and anywhere ventilation is limited.
Ahead of the dry summer
Checking and cleaning vents, light fittings and general surfaces helps prepare for the dust that Cape Town’s dry, windy summer brings.
