For this, there is a need to make some important changes in the house including woolen clothes, so that we can save ourselves from the cold. See them in the graphics below.

It is important to expose the quilt-blanket to sunlight properly.
Right now the fan is running in the house. Even a light thick sheet will do the trick. Any day in the coming weeks the temperature will suddenly drop and there will be a sudden need for a quilt.
Therefore, it is important to expose winter blankets, quilts etc. to sunlight from now on. Due to being closed for months, insects and bacteria can grow in them, which can be harmful to health. These insects and bacteria are destroyed by the heat of the sun. Apart from this, after being closed for months, they also start giving off a strange smell. The smell goes away when exposed to sunlight.
Wash the cover and get the quilt dry cleaned
Soak the covers of blankets, quilts etc. in hot water and wash them thoroughly. Apart from this, it is also good to get the quilt dry cleaned once a year. Thick cotton quilts cannot be washed with water at home. By getting it dry cleaned, all the dirt, dust, bacteria etc. are removed.
Clean and prepare warm clothes for winter
To protect yourself from cold in winter, clothes like sweater, jacket and inner are needed. It is very important to wash these clothes thoroughly before wearing them. Clothes can develop a musty smell if left there for a long time. This may cause discomfort and there is a risk of skin infection.
Therefore, take out all the warm clothes from the wardrobe and sort them. Clothes that are washed at home are separate and clothes that go for dry cleaning are separate. Now clean all these one by one, dry them and store them in the cupboard. Your winter wardrobe is ready for winter.
To wash hot clothes at home, only mild, soft or liquid detergent should be used. Hard detergent reduces the softness of clothes.
Make a shopping list of new clothes for children
Children’s body develops rapidly. Many times the clothes bought last year in winter do not fit them. In such a situation, try wearing the children’s winter clothes once.
Apart from this, make a list of the essential winter clothes like inner, socks etc. which are torn or damaged and go shopping before the cold arrives.
Get the geyser serviced
To avoid cold in winter, people like to bathe with hot water. Geysers are used extensively for this. Therefore, get your geyser serviced before the season starts. If the geyser is damaged then get it repaired or buy a new one. Whatever is the need of your house, make preparations from now onwards.
Wash and store heavy clothes like curtains, sofa covers
There is less sunlight during winter. In such a situation, drying clothes is a challenging task. Especially clothes like curtains, sofa covers do not dry for several days after washing. Therefore, before the onset of severe cold, prepare these heavy clothes by washing and drying them.
Get your entire house deep cleaned before winter
There is more humidity in the house during cold days. In such a situation, washing the house further increases the moisture, which does not dry up for many days.
For this, deep cleaning of the entire house should be done once before the onset of cold. Due to this there is no dust in the house. Special attention should be paid especially to the cleanliness of places like the kitchen because there is a greater possibility of bacteria hiding here. It’s also important to clean your freezer and oven before freezing.
Install a dehumidifier to protect the house from moisture
In winter, due to increase in humidity inside the houses, dampness starts increasing from furniture to walls. Dampness can also cause allergies or asthma. To reduce this, it is a good idea to install a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier reduces moisture from the air and keeps the house from dampness.
