The Seasonal Cleaning Playbook: What Your Home Needs Every Time of Year

Cleaning is more than a task—it’s a rhythm, a way of maintaining balance in the home across the changing months. Each season brings its own challenges: from spring pollen and summer dust to fall leaves and winter grime. Adapting your cleaning routine to meet these seasonal shifts isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

At the heart of this approach is consistency, and even more so, intentionality. Knowing what to prioritize and when can make the difference between a home that feels high-maintenance and one that simply flows. Whether you’re doing a quick tidy-up or planning a full overhaul, a seasonal mindset ensures that no corner gets overlooked.

Reader says Twinney Pound is a Mess

twinney-park

I just took a walk to Twinney’s (Aug. 4, 10 a.m). I was shocked to see how much the POND is NARROWED due to plants taking over.

Are those the plants, the milkweed that the Ridgewood Conservancy planted? Those plants must be removed or pond will disappear very soon. I will be glad to help.

The pond wooded area is heaven sent. I was greeted by a beautiful large bird with partial orange colored wings over-head that landed in a nearby tree and later showed off its wings again flying overhead and landing in another nearby tree. There were two loud quacking ducks conversing in the now very narrowed pond. The pathway had shady trees and the narrowness of the pathway was super fun to walk on. Real naturey and wild.

But it is IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK TO WATER’s EDGE due to the over growth of that plant life (milk weed?) In past years since 1980 I could ALWAYS WALK TO Wa edge and see tadpoles. Now I couldn’t get there at all, even to see mud.

What’s up Conservancy?

Cynthia Halaby, president of the Conservancy for Ridgewood Public Lands group, explained via email that her organization is dedicated to tending to public lands that do not get enough care due to village budget cuts.

Ridgewood NJ, Clean up from an overnight storm continued into this afternoon in Ridgewood, where a large tree branch took down cable television & telephone lines of a home in the 600 block of Whithill Road, and also smashed the front windshield of a vehicle parked in an adjacent driveway.  Crews from the Village of Ridgewood’s Parks & Recreation Department-Shade Tree Division were observed using chain saws, backpack leaf blowers, and a giant chipper/shredder to clear debris from two (2) homes on the block.  No power outages were reported on the block.  Damage appeared to have been limited to the car windshield, some shrubs, and a wooden fence.
