It’s Officially Time for Spring Cleaning
Here is our Fresh Nest Guide:
Spring is the perfect time to refresh and rejuvenate your home. As the weather warms up, it’s not just your wardrobe that needs a seasonal update—your home deserves one too! Whether you’re tackling the deep clean on your own or enlisting help from our Fresh Nest Professionals, this guide will ensure your space gets the attention it needs to sparkle.
1. Start with Decluttering
Before you even think about dusting or mopping, start with decluttering. Go through each room and get rid of anything you no longer use or need. Donate old clothes, toss expired pantry items, and sort through your drawers, closets, and shelves. A clutter-free space not only makes cleaning easier, but it also helps you feel more organized and peaceful. Plus, you might even uncover forgotten treasures!
2. Dust and Wipe Down Surfaces
Once the clutter is gone, it’s time to focus on dusting. Start at the highest points—ceiling fans, light fixtures, and vents—and work your way down to surfaces like bookshelves, tables, and counters. Don’t forget light switches, doorknobs, and baseboards. You’d be surprised at how much dust builds up in those often-overlooked spots!
3. Deep Clean the Floors
Floors can easily be overlooked during regular cleanings, but they definitely deserve some attention during spring cleaning. Vacuum carpets, rugs, and any upholstered furniture. If you have hardwood or tile floors, mop them thoroughly, making sure to hit the corners and edges where dust and grime often build up. If your home has entryways or high-traffic areas, give them a little extra love—those spots tend to collect dirt quickly.
4. Give the Kitchen & Bathrooms Extra TLC
The kitchen and bathrooms are two areas that can really benefit from a deep clean during spring. In the kitchen, clean out your fridge—throw away expired food, wipe down shelves, and clean your oven, stovetop, and microwave. Don’t forget your cabinets and drawers, too! For bathrooms, scrub the grout, clean the mirrors, and disinfect the sink, toilet, and shower/tub. Make sure to clean all the little details like faucets, handles, and light fixtures for a truly fresh feel.
5. Refresh Fabrics Around Your Home
Soft fabrics like curtains, pillows, and bedding can easily trap dust and allergens. Take this time to wash or dry clean your curtains, change the bedding, and vacuum your upholstery. If you don’t have time for a full furniture cleaning, use a fabric refresher spray to instantly freshen up sofas and chairs. For carpets, consider a deep cleaning or steam cleaning to remove any dirt that’s accumulated over the colder months.
6. Let Fresh Air In
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to freshen up your home is to open the windows. Let in that lovely spring air and let your space breathe. Fresh air helps to remove stale odors and can even help with dust and allergens. If you have an air purifier, now is a great time to put it to use!
7. Organize & Beautify
Spring cleaning isn’t just about cleaning—it’s also a great opportunity to reorganize and refresh your space. Tidy up closets, reorganize your pantry, and even sort through your bookshelves or home office. Once everything is neat, add a few touches to brighten up your home. Fresh flowers, new throw pillows, or a light spring-scented candle can make all the difference.
8. Final Touches to Complete the Transformation
Now that the hard work is done, it’s time for a walk-through. Fluff your pillows, straighten your rugs, and ensure every corner is sparkling. Take a moment to appreciate how refreshing your home feels. A well-organized, deeply cleaned space not only looks great but can also uplift your mood.
