How Do I Start My Spring Cleaning?

Spring is the perfect time to refresh and rejuvenate your home. But knowing where to start can be overwhelming. A well-organized spring cleaning plan can make the process efficient and even enjoyable. Whether you’re tackling a deep clean for the first time or looking to refine your method, this guide will help you get started.

1. Create a Spring Cleaning Checklist

Before diving into cleaning, plan out everything that needs to be done. A checklist will keep you organized and ensure no task gets overlooked.

Must-Have Cleaning Supplies:

• All-purpose cleaner
• Glass cleaner
• Baking soda and vinegar
• Microfiber cloths
• Mop and bucket
• Vacuum with attachments
• Sponges and scrub brushes

Key Areas to Focus On:

• Kitchen: Clean appliances, cabinets, and pantry.
• Bathrooms: Scrub tiles, sanitize surfaces, and replace shower liners.
• Bedrooms: Wash bedding, dust furniture, and declutter closets.
• Living Spaces: Deep clean upholstery, vacuum carpets, and organize shelves.
• Windows & Floors: Clean glass panes and deep clean floors​.

A structured checklist helps prevent procrastination and ensures a thorough clean.

2. Declutter Before You Clean

Cleaning is easier when there’s less clutter. Take time to go through each room and remove items you no longer need.

Decluttering Tips:

• Use the “Three-Box Method”: One box for trash, one for donations, and one for items to keep.
• Start with Small Areas: Closets, junk drawers, and bathroom cabinets.
• Ask Yourself: “Have I used this in the past year?” If not, let it go.
• Digitize Papers: Scan important documents and shred unnecessary ones.

Decluttering creates space and makes deep cleaning more effective​.

3. Tackle the Toughest Rooms First

Some rooms require more effort than others. Start with high-traffic areas like the kitchen and bathrooms before moving to easier rooms.

Best Order for Spring Cleaning:

1. Bathroom – Scrub tiles, clean grout, and disinfect surfaces​.
2. Kitchen – Deep clean appliances, clear out expired pantry items​.
3. Bedrooms – Wash linens, vacuum mattresses, and reorganize closets.
4. Living Areas – Dust furniture, clean baseboards, and vacuum carpets.

By cleaning the hardest rooms first, the rest of your spring cleaning will feel easier!

4. Refresh Windows & Floors

After winter, windows are often covered in grime, and floors have collected dust and dirt. A thorough cleaning will brighten up your home.

Window Cleaning Tips:

• Use a glass cleaner and microfiber cloth for streak-free shine.
• Remove window screens and rinse them with warm, soapy water.
• Clean window sills and tracks where dirt accumulates​​.

Floor Cleaning Tips:

• Tile Floors: Sweep and mop with a gentle cleaner​.
• Carpet: Vacuum thoroughly and schedule a professional deep clean.
• Hardwood Floors: Use a damp mop and wood-safe cleaner to restore shine.

Clean windows and floors will make your entire home feel fresher.

5. Maintain the Clean with a Routine

Spring cleaning shouldn’t be a one-time event! Once your home is spotless, keep it that way with a simple cleaning routine.

Weekly Maintenance Schedule:

• Monday: Dust furniture and wipe down surfaces.
• Tuesday: Vacuum and mop floors.
• Wednesday: Clean the kitchen (wipe appliances, counters).
• Thursday: Bathroom deep clean (toilet, sink, shower).
• Friday: Declutter and organize one small area.

By following a regular schedule, your home will stay clean without requiring another massive deep clean​.
