Wellington Weather and Your Home: Cleaning Tips for the Rainy Season

Wellington is famous for its wind and rain — and both have a real impact on how quickly your home gets dirty. Here’s how to stay on top of cleaning when the weather is working against you. For help with Wellington rainy season cleaning in the Wellington region, Nice Work Cleaning Co. is your trusted local team.

Mud and Grit at the Door

A good outdoor mat and a simple porch routine — shoes off at the door, socks left just inside — saves enormous time on floor cleaning through the rainy season. Place a tray or mat just inside the door too, for dripping umbrellas and wet bags.

Condensation on Windows

Wellington’s cold, damp winters cause heavy condensation on single-glazed windows. Wipe down window sills and frames daily to prevent mould and wood rot. A squeegee kept on the window sill makes this quick and easy.

Wet Washing and Indoor Drying

Drying laundry indoors significantly increases indoor humidity — and with it, mould risk. Use a dehumidifier alongside drying racks, keep the door to the drying room closed, and ventilate well. Heat pump drying is worth the electricity cost in Wellington winters.

Bathroom Ventilation is Critical

In wet Wellington winters, leave the bathroom extractor fan running for at least 20 minutes after a shower. Open windows whenever conditions allow. Check the extractor fan is actually working — a blocked fan makes little difference.
