The Ultimate Spring Cleaning Checklist

A room-by-room spring checklist can help organise a deeper home reset. Choose tasks based on the home's condition and materials, and separate regular cleaning from repairs, pests, mould remediation or hazardous work.

Declutter and prepare

Clear walkways, gather ordinary rubbish and sort belongings before detailed cleaning. Protect documents, medication and valuables, and dispose of unwanted products according to local guidance. Keep chemicals secured and never mix cleaners.

Clean carpets, windows and soft furnishings

Vacuum suitable surfaces and check care labels before steam, wet cleaning or stain treatment. Reachable windows can be cleaned with a compatible method; do not lean out or use unsafe ladder access. Delicate rugs, upholstery or glass coatings may need specialist advice.

Refresh kitchen and bathroom

Clean counters, sinks, cupboards, tiles, showers and accessible appliances using product labels and maker instructions. Do not use vinegar, bleach, baking soda or solvents on materials unless permitted. Ventilate safely and dry surfaces as directed.

Finish floors and outdoor areas

Remove dry soil before damp cleaning and use only the moisture allowed for the floor type. Sweep accessible patios and clear ordinary leaves. Roofs, gutters, pressure cleaning, HVAC, pest control and repairs require separate scope and safe access.
