1. Make a Simple Plan
Before you start, take a few minutes to figure out what needs the most attention. Write out a list of rooms and what you'd like to accomplish in each. Breaking things down into smaller tasks makes the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming.
2. Declutter First
Step one? Get rid of the stuff you don’t need. Go through each room and sort things into three piles: keep, donate, and toss. The less clutter you have, the easier everything else will be to clean.
3. Stock Up on Supplies
Nothing’s worse than starting a big cleaning job only to realise you’re out of something important. Grab your go-to cleaners, some microfiber cloths, a vacuum, and maybe a few eco-friendly products if you’re looking to go green.
4. Take It One Room at a Time
Cleaning the whole house at once can feel like a lot. Instead, focus on one room at a time. This way, you can see your progress and keep your motivation up as you go.
5. Freshen Up Carpets and Furniture
Carpets and upholstery can hold onto a lot of dirt, especially over winter. Consider renting a carpet cleaner or bringing in the pros to give them a good deep clean. And while you’re at it, tackle any stubborn stains.
6. Let the Light In
Spring is all about sunshine, so let it in! Clean your windows inside and out, and don’t forget to dust off your blinds or wash your curtains. Clean windows can really brighten up your home.
7. Give the Kitchen Some Love
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it deserves a little extra care. Clean out your fridge and pantry, toss expired food, and wipe down the shelves. Don't forget to scrub the stovetop, oven, and microwave.
8. Refresh Your Bedroom
Your bedroom should be a place to relax, so take some time to freshen it up. Wash your bedding, flip the mattress, and vacuum under the bed. Go through your closet and donate anything you don’t wear anymore—it’s a great way to clear some space.
9. Don’t Forget the Bathrooms
Bathrooms can get grimy fast, so give them a good scrub. Clean the tub, shower, and toilet, and shine up the mirrors and countertops. Toss the shower curtain in the wash or replace it if it’s seen better days.
10. Spruce Up Outdoor Spaces
With warmer weather on the way, it’s time to get your outdoor areas ready. Sweep the patio, clean outdoor furniture, and give the grill a once-over. You’ll be all set for those sunny days ahead.
11. Let in Some Fresh Air
After being cooped up all winter, it’s time to open the windows and let the fresh air in. It’ll help clear out any stuffiness and make your home feel more vibrant. Consider adding a few houseplants for some natural air purification.
12. Keep It Going
Once your home is sparkling clean, make a plan to keep it that way. A little tidying here and there can go a long way in maintaining that fresh, clean feeling all season long.
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore—it’s a chance to reset your space and make your home a place you love to be. So, grab your supplies, throw on some music, and get ready to enjoy a fresher, brighter home.
