Tidy up the medicine cabinet, taking out-of-date items to a local pharmacy for safe disposal.
Tackle mouldy and mildewy bathrooms by cleaning the walls and ceiling, and bring in dehumidifiers and plants to lower the humidity.
Thoroughly clean radiators, getting behind them and inside the crevices using a fluffy duster.
Declutter your bookshelves, taking down each book and giving everything a good vacuum.
