Here Are the 7 House Chores You Only Need To Do Once A year!

Last Updated on April 9, 2021

Look who’s about to hear some really good news! Yes, there are parts of your house that only need to be cleaned once a year. How amazing is that? We all dread doing house chores, from laundry, dishes, dusting or vacuuming, to cleaning house appliances, the floor, and toilet, because not only do they consume our time (and take away our weekends) but also suck our energy. So, it’s such a relief to know that some parts of our homes don’t require a weekly or even monthly clean-up. A yearly clean-up could be the best thing that has ever happened to us! On this list, you’ll find the 7 house chores you can clean now and wait for twelve months to do them again. Don’t worry, they will last, but you just have to clean them up thoroughly if you don’t want to do it twice a year! Don’t waste any more time and jump right into the list.

1.Cleaning the gutters

Gutters don’t have to be cleaned every week or month, once a year is enough if you didn’t know that already. Gutter-cleaning is an extremely important house chore, which you need to do this year if you don’t want the gutters to get too clogged with debris and cause water damage to your exterior and interior roof. Cleaning experts suggest that we clean the gutters late in the fall season after the leaves have fallen. If you do it before then, you’ll have to do it again since the gutters will get clogged with fallen leaves anyway. So, gut your gutters once a year and have the peace of mind you deserve.

2.Washing your curtains

Another household chore that we only have to do once or twice a year is curtain cleaning. That is, unless they got stained by liquids or grease, which you’ll have to do instantly! This chore isn’t even that difficult, to begin with (if you have a washing machine), so if you’re a clean freak who loves to wash your drapes monthly, go for it. But, if you think it’s such a hassle, we recommend that you wash them before this winter ends, so they would last during the next seasons. But, hey, even if washing drapes in the washing machine is relatively a simple task, you must pay attention to the label attached to them, because some drapes require dry cleaning.

3.Cleaning your chimney

If you have a fireplace in your house, well, good for you. But, as many of you are aware, maintaining a chimney is a big responsibility that involves your own safety. People often, ask, “how often should you clean your chimney.” the answer is that it depends on how often you use the fireplace or stove. The common ground is that you should inspect and clean it up once or twice a year, with the help of a chimney professional.

4.Cleaning your carpet

You can get your heavy, large carpets whenever you feel like it actually, just like with any other house chore. But, it’s such an arduous task, especially when you don’t have the time for it. Well, it turns out that you don’t have to deep-clean your carpet every month or every other month. Once a year is good.

5.Cleaning fabric sofas

Deep-cleaning fabric furniture, such as microfiber sofas, dining chairs, or cushions, is such a hassle since they are magnets for dirt, dust, and grease or coffee stains.
