1. Start with a Plan

Before you grab the mop and vacuum, create a detailed cleaning checklist. A plan helps you stay organized, saves time, and ensures you don’t overlook important areas.

✅ Pro Tip: Break your cleaning list down by room and prioritize high-traffic areas like the kitchen and bathrooms first.

2. Declutter Before You Clean

Clutter makes it harder to clean and creates mental stress. Take some time to declutter each room before you start cleaning.

• Keep: Items you use regularly
• Donate: Items in good condition that you no longer need
• Recycle/Trash: Broken or worn-out items

✅ Pro Tip: Follow the “one-year rule” — if you haven’t used it in a year, it’s time to let it go.

Decluttering instantly makes your space feel bigger and more organized. A clutter-free home is also easier to maintain (learn why regular cleaning matters).

3. Focus on Deep Cleaning High-Traffic Areas

Daily surface cleaning is helpful, but spring is the time to deep clean the spots you typically overlook:

✔️ Behind and under furniture
✔️ Baseboards and crown molding
✔️ Light fixtures and ceiling fans
✔️ Inside cabinets and drawers

✅ Pro Tip: Use a microfiber cloth for dusting — it traps more dust and reduces allergens.

Deep cleaning creates a more sanitary and inviting space. If this feels like too much work, let the pros at Tidy B Cleaning Services handle it! Book a deep clean today.

4. Clean Your Carpets and Floors

Floors and carpets trap dust, dirt, and allergens — especially after winter. Start by vacuuming thoroughly, then mop hard floors and steam-clean carpets.

✅ Pro Tip: Sprinkle baking soda on carpets before vacuuming to neutralize odors naturally.

Regular carpet and floor cleaning extends their lifespan and keeps your home smelling fresh (see how professional cleaning saves time and money).

5. Pay Attention to Windows and Window Treatments

Clean windows let in more natural light and make your home feel brighter.

✔️ Wash windows inside and out with a vinegar and water solution
✔️ Clean window tracks and sills
✔️ Dust and vacuum blinds and curtains

✅ Pro Tip: Use a squeegee to avoid streaks on glass.

6. Refresh Your Kitchen and Bathroom

Kitchens and bathrooms see the most traffic, so they need extra attention:

Kitchen:

• Clean behind and under appliances
• Wipe down cabinets and pantry shelves
• Sanitize countertops and sinks

Bathroom:

• Scrub grout and tile
• Clean showerheads and faucets
• Disinfect toilet and sink handles

✅ Pro Tip: A mix of white vinegar and baking soda works wonders on tough stains and grime.

7. Don’t Forget HVAC and Air Quality

After a long winter, your home’s air quality could be suffering.

✔️ Clean air vents and replace filters
✔️ Vacuum behind radiators and baseboard heaters
✔️ Open windows to let in fresh air

✅ Pro Tip: A few strategically placed houseplants can help purify the air naturally.

8. Freshen Up Bedrooms and Living Spaces

Create a relaxing environment by deep-cleaning your soft furnishings:

✔️ Vacuum and rotate mattresses
✔️ Wash pillows and comforters
✔️ Steam clean upholstered furniture

✅ Pro Tip: Adding lavender essential oil to your laundry helps create a calming scent.

A clean bedroom improves sleep quality and reduces stress (discover why).

9. Maintain the Clean with a Routine

Once you’ve completed your spring clean, set up a regular maintenance routine to keep your home looking its best.

✅ Pro Tip: Clean in 10-minute bursts — small, consistent efforts prevent big messes from building up.
