End of season cleaning.

As summer winds down in Minnesota’s lake country, many families and cabin owners begin the process of “closing up” their seasonal retreats. While it’s easy to focus on pulling the dock, storing away boats, and securing outdoor furniture, one step that shouldn’t be overlooked is end-of-season cabin cleaning.

A thorough clean before you lock up ensures your cabin stays in great condition, prevents pests, and makes next season’s opening a breeze.

🌟 Why End-of-Season Cabin Cleaning Is Important

Prevent Mold & Mildew

With fluctuating fall temperatures, moisture buildup is common in cabins. Deep cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms, kitchens, and basements helps prevent mold and mildew from developing over winter.

Deter Rodents & Insects

Crumbs, sticky counters, or unwashed dishes can attract pests. A professional clean eliminates food sources and odors that encourage unwanted visitors.

Protect Your Investment

Cabins are more than getaways—they’re valuable assets. Regular cleaning helps maintain the condition of wood surfaces, appliances, and upholstery.

Simplify Spring Opening

Walking into a fresh, clean cabin in the spring makes starting your season so much more enjoyable. No more facing layers of dust, stale smells, or last year’s mess.
