Fishers Families, Let’s Get Real: The End-of-Summer Cleaning You’ve Been Putting Off

Let’s be honest—by mid-August in Fishers, your house probably has a little “summer chaos” charm going on. Between park days at Roy G. Holland Memorial Park, concerts at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater, and spontaneous popsicle breaks in the living room, things have gotten… well, sticky. Before fall hits and school starts in full swing, it’s the perfect moment to reset your space and breathe again.

We’re not talking about a massive overhaul—just smart, strategic cleaning moves that prep your home for cooler temps, earlier bedtimes, and the return of structure.

1. Clean the Kitchen the Summer Left Behind

From melted ice cream drips to cookout crumbs, summer takes its toll on your kitchen surfaces. Wipe down cabinet faces, degrease the backsplash, and sanitize appliances. Clear off the counters and make room for lunchboxes and meal prep supplies.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Add a tray near your back door or mudroom for lunch prep bins or water bottles—less mess, less morning madness.

2. Deep Clean Living Room Soft Surfaces

Couches, rugs, throw pillows—these have been through beach towel naps, movie nights, and dog lounging. Vacuum under cushions, dust the baseboards, and fluff everything.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Use the change of season to rotate throw pillows or blankets to freshen the look without spending a dime.

3. Tackle Toy Zones & Game Areas

That pile of puzzles? The board games missing half the pieces? It’s time. Sort through games, donate what’s not used, and organize what’s staying.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Use see-through plastic drawers or rolling carts so kids can easily find (and put away) their favorite activities.

4. Reset the Garage or Mudroom

Fishers homes often have garages full of sports gear, sidewalk chalk, and half-deflated floaties. Do a sweep, reorganize your bins, and prep space for school supplies, shoes, or seasonal decorations.

Dust Devils’ Pro Tip: Hang a few sturdy hooks for backpacks or lunch bags—they’ll thank you in September.
