7 Tips for an Effective Spring Cleaning

Has the thorough house cleaning been put off? When spring arrives, it feels great to do a proper cleanup. It’s time for a deep clean to welcome the season!

‍

The idea of tackling a major cleaning project can feel overwhelming, but there’s no need to panic. We’ve listed 7 top tips to help you get started with efficient spring cleaning — and if you’d rather not do it yourself, our cleaners are ready to take on the job with a smile!

1. Declutter for Better Flow
‍

Tidying up before you start cleaning saves both time and frustration.

Sort out trash, glass, and bottles, and get rid of them. Put items back where they belong. This is also a golden opportunity to organize a little and see where everything is in your home.

‍

2. Don’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

‍

Prioritize cleaning the areas that matter most. If you don’t have the time or motivation to clean everything in one day, spread the rooms over the week. It’s far better to clean your priority areas than to not do anything at all.

3. Spring Music for Cleaning

‍

Research shows that listening to upbeat music can boost mood and energy — perfect for a physically demanding task like cleaning. Streaming services have plenty of playlists for spring cleaning. Try “Workout Music” by Digster Norway on Spotify, or make a playlist of your own energetic favorites!

‍

‍

4. Involve Others

‍

Get family members or a friend to help, and clean together! It’s a great way to spend more time with loved ones during a busy schedule. Consider offering simple snacks or a meal as thanks — it makes the task more enjoyable.

‍

‍

5. Focus on Progress
‍

Make a checklist of what needs to be done. Tracking progress helps motivate you to finish. List 4–5 tasks per room, starting with dusting from the top down, leaving the dirtiest areas for last. Seeing half a room crossed off quickly will motivate you to finish the rest. Don’t forget breaks — reward yourself with coffee, a snack, or a walk outside if the weather allows.

6. Make the Details Shine

‍

The brighter days of spring make it important to clean the details. Pull furniture away from walls and wipe baseboards with a microfiber cloth. This doesn’t need to be done often, but spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity. The same goes for cabinet doors, handles, and glass surfaces. A little extra attention makes them shine in the sunlight.

‍

‍

7. Let Spring In

‍

Finish your spring cleaning with window washing. Enjoy sunlight streaming through spotless, dust-free windows.

Hang blankets, rugs, pillows, and duvets outside to air out and bring fresh spring air into your home!

‍

If you want a lingering fresh spring scent, use scented cleaning products or “cheat” by placing a bowl of green soap under the sofa after cleaning. This keeps your home smelling clean even if you only used a dry mop and microfiber cloths, or unscented cleaners.

‍

Prefer the fresh scent without perfume or additives? Buy or pick fresh spring flowers!

‍
