5 Easy Spring Cleaning Tips

A seasonal refresh helps your space feel lighter, healthier, and better organised. Use this professional guide and checklist to plan a thorough, efficient spring clean that fits your schedule.

Why Spring Cleaning Matters

  • Improves indoor air quality by removing dust and allergens
  • Resets storage and reduces clutter accumulation
  • Protects finishes and fabrics with periodic maintenance
  • Prepares your home for warmer months and lifestyle changes

Room-by-Room Checklist

Living Areas

  • Dust high-to-low: ceilings, coving, light fixtures, and shelves
  • Vacuum soft furnishings and launder removable covers where care labels allow
  • Treat hardwood and stone surfaces with appropriate pH‑safe products
  • Rotate cushions, refresh throws, and declutter open surfaces

Kitchen

  • Degrease extractor filters and clean behind/under appliances
  • Deep clean oven, fridge, and dishwasher seals and trays
  • Declutter and zone cupboards; wipe interiors and adjust shelf liners
  • Descale taps and refresh grout/backsplash areas

Bedrooms

  • Launder or dry‑clean curtains and duvets per care instructions
  • Rotate mattresses; vacuum mattress and bed frame crevices
  • Reorganise wardrobes; donate or store off‑season items
  • Wipe inside drawers and refresh liners

Bathrooms

  • Descale shower screens, tiles, and taps; refresh silicone lines if needed
  • Sanitise drains and clean ventilation covers
  • Launder bath mats and shower curtains/liners
  • Polish mirrors with lint‑free cloths for a streak‑free finish

Windows & Doors

  • Clean frames, tracks, and handles before glass for a longer‑lasting result
  • Use two‑cloth method for glass: one damp, one dry for final buff
  • Replace worn weatherstripping and touch up scuffs on doors/trim

Hallways & Entry

  • Shake out and launder mats; wipe skirting and banisters
  • Clean shoe racks and storage benches; rotate seasonal gear
  • Refresh letterbox and hardware; check bulbs and detectors

Pro Tips for an Efficient Clean

  • Work clockwise in each room and top‑to‑bottom to avoid rework
  • Keep three boxes for decluttering: donate, recycle, store
  • Use microfibre cloths and change them frequently to prevent streaking
  • Schedule one focused deep‑clean day per week to complete the whole list over a month

When to Book Professionals

  • Appliance deep cleaning, stone floor care, carpet/upholstery treatment
  • Large‑scale decluttering or pre‑sale refresh
  • Specialist window/glass work in high or hard‑to‑reach areas
