Wellington winters are damp, windy, and cold. A bit of preparation in autumn makes a real difference to your comfort, your heating bills, and the condition of your home through the colder months. Here’s your room-by-room winter prep guide.
Bedroom: Swap and Wash
Swap light summer duvets for heavier winter ones. Wash everything before you put it away — duvets, pillows and mattress protectors. Vacuum the mattress and check for mould under the bed base, especially in damp Wellington homes.
Kitchen: Service Your Oven and Rangehood
You’ll use your oven more in winter. A deep clean now means it performs better and doesn’t smoke. Clean the rangehood filter too — a clogged filter is a fire risk and reduces effectiveness.
Bathroom: Treat Mould Before It Spreads
Bathroom mould thrives in Wellington winters. Treat any existing mould with a fungicide spray, then stay on top of it with weekly vinegar sprays and daily ventilation.
Living Areas: Carpets and Heating
Get carpets professionally cleaned before winter if they haven’t been done recently. Clean the heat pump filters — dirty filters reduce efficiency significantly. If you have a wood burner, check the flue.
Outdoors: Bring In What Needs Protecting
Outdoor furniture, BBQs, and garden equipment should be cleaned and stored or covered before winter. Clean outdoor furniture before it goes into storage to prevent mould.
