Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Home

“Spring cleaning” is a saying for a reason: it’s a popular time to spruce up your home as the sun is out longer and highlights things like dust, cobwebs, and dirty surfaces as the light pours in through windows. As the season changes, it’s a good time of year to do routine cleaning and address things you might not give much attention to during the rest of the year. When Spring does roll around, here are some of the top cleaning tips you can implement to help keep your home sparkling year-round.

Spring Cleaning Tips - Dust Blinds, Walls, & Windows

Dirt, dust, and allergens can really have a negative impact on the air in your home so it’s good to focus on items in the home that collect them throughout the year. Blinds, walls, and windows are areas that may not get regular cleaning throughout the year and springtime is an ideal time of year to tidy them up. Simple items like a damp rag with some dish soap and microfiber cloth will do the job just fine. Blinds and curtains are easy enough to clean with a simple once over, just make sure to dry everything afterward.

Spring Cleaning Tips - Replace Your HVAC Filter

If you have allergies, Spring is a time when they can pop back up. Air quality in general should be a focus during this time of year, which means it’s time to change any air filters in the home, especially on heating or cooling systems. HVAC air filters should be replaced regularly and if you’ve neglected doing so over the winter, it’s time to address it during the Spring. Ideally, these filters should be replaced every month or two, even if the packaging indicates it only needs to be done every couple of months.

Spring Cleaning Tips - Clean Trash Cans

Buildup in trash cans can sneak up on you quickly if you don’t keep an eye out for it and it’s the likely culprit if you detect an odor coming from them. Water and soap do a fine job of cleaning up trash receptacles and you can even take them outside and hit them with the hose if you don’t want to create a mess inside. Once they’ve tried, a light sprinkling of baking soda will help absorb any odor issues going forward.

Spring Cleaning Tips - Fridge Cleaning Time

The refrigerator is another area of the house that can get dirty without much notice since it’s used every day. Pull out any drawers or dividers to give them a wash in the sink and clean up anything that’s collected on the surfaces. When everything is out of the fridge, you can give the inside the same treatment. If you haven’t replaced the baking soda in your fridge, this is a great time to do that as well.

Spring Cleaning Tips - Fans & Baseboards

If you have a ceiling fan, you might be surprised at the amount of dust that’s accumulated. An old pillowcase works really well to clean off fan blades since it can fit all the way around them so you can make them dust-free in one pass. We mentioned cleaning walls earlier, but don’t neglect the baseboards since that’s an area where dirt can easily accumulate. Since they’re at ground level, shoe scuffs and dander from pets collect over time and they can be cleaned quickly with little effort.
