Your 2025 Spring Cleaning Checklist
After your home has been closed up for the winter, it’s time to deep clean and make the home fresh in time for spring—the time of the year for renewal and rebirth. Deep cleaning is a great way to embrace the lighter mood of spring, give you a sense of accomplishment, and improve your health with exercise and a cleaner environment.
Spring cleaning is about washing/cleaning the areas you don’t do every week:
- Windows and sills
- Window treatments
- Carpets
- Light fixtures
- Baseboards
- Fireplaces
Spring cleaning also includes:
- Moving furniture to clean underneath and to use special vacuum attachments to clean upholstered furniture and drapes.
- Decluttering, including purging closets of unwanted clothing, shoes and accessories.
- Power-washing the exterior of the home.
- Polishing floors, touching up nicks in wood cabinets with stain fillers.
- Getting your AC professionally checked.
- Testing fire and carbon monoxide detectors and replacing batteries where needed.
- Flipping mattresses, cleaning or replacing mattress pads and cleaning bedding and pillows.
- Cleaning gutters of debris to prepare for spring showers.
