Spring is in the air, which means it’s time to refresh, declutter, and deep clean your home! A proper spring cleaning goes beyond just tidying up—it’s about resetting your space, eliminating allergens, and creating a healthier, happier living environment.
But before you dive in, it’s important to have a game plan. Here are some essential do’s and don’ts of spring cleaning to help you get the job done efficiently and effectively.
✅ Spring Cleaning Do’s
1. Do Start with a Plan
Spring cleaning can feel overwhelming, so make a checklist before you begin. Prioritize rooms that need the most attention and tackle one area at a time.
2. Do Declutter Before Cleaning
There’s no point in dusting around clutter! Go through closets, cabinets, and drawers, and donate or discard items you no longer need. A cleaner space starts with less stuff.
3. Do Clean from Top to Bottom
Always start with ceilings, light fixtures, and shelves, then work your way down to floors and baseboards. This way, any dust and debris that fall will be cleaned up at the end.
4. Do Use the Right Cleaning Products
Different surfaces require different cleaners! Use natural or non-toxic products on countertops, vinegar and baking soda for deep cleaning, and microfiber cloths to trap dust.
5. Do Wash Fabrics and Upholstery
Spring is the perfect time to wash curtains, rugs, and cushion covers. Vacuum and steam clean carpets and sofas to remove dust, pet dander, and hidden allergens.
6. Do Pay Attention to Forgotten Areas
Spring cleaning isn’t just about the obvious spaces. Don’t forget to clean:
✔ Baseboards & crown molding
✔ Ceiling fans & light fixtures
✔ Behind appliances & under furniture
✔ Air vents & filters
✔ Inside cabinets & drawers
❌ Spring Cleaning Don’ts
1. Don’t Try to Do It All in One Day
Spring cleaning is a big job, so don’t rush through it. Break it up into smaller tasks over a few days to avoid burnout.
2. Don’t Mix Cleaning Chemicals
Mixing bleach with ammonia or vinegar can create dangerous fumes. Always use cleaners as directed and never mix products unless labeled safe to do so.
3. Don’t Forget to Check Expiration Dates
Go through your pantry, medicine cabinet, and beauty products. Toss expired items to clear out unnecessary clutter and make space for fresh supplies.
4. Don’t Neglect Outdoor Areas
Spring cleaning isn’t just for indoors! Sweep patios, clean outdoor furniture, wash windows, and pressure-wash driveways to refresh your home’s exterior.
5. Don’t Forget to Change Air Filters
Your HVAC system collects dust and allergens, so replace air filters to improve indoor air quality. This is especially important for allergy sufferers!
