Has your house gotten a bit dusty and cluttered over the long winter months?
If so, it might be time to do a little spring cleaning to usher in the new season and feel more comfortable while spending time at home. Not only will spring cleaning make your house look more presentable for guests, but it will also boost your mood and help you stay organized in daily life.
Here is a spring cleaning checklist to consider as you go through the various rooms of your house and also some tips for hiring a professional spring cleaner to handle the real deep cleaning tasks.
Spring Cleaning the Kitchen
Kitchens tend to get pretty grimy without a thorough spring clean each year. To keep your eating and food prep areas sanitary and free of germs, start by dividing your kitchen into zones and tackling them one by one.
Here are some spring cleaning checklist items for the kitchen:
- Separate clutter into boxes to throw away, sell, or donate
- Dust the tops of cabinets and the ceiling
- Pull items out of the drawers, dust out, and re-organize them
- Remove items from cupboards, dust out, and re-organize items
- Check the pantry and fridge for expired items and throw away
- Wipe down countertops and appliances on them
- Clean the oven and stovetop
- Wash out the sink and clean the drains
- Wipe down the inside and outside of the dishwasher
- Mop the floors
Spring Cleaning the Bedrooms
Bedrooms often get dusty and accumulate lots of clutter, so these are good rooms of the house to create a spring cleaning checklist for too.
Here are some tasks to tackle here:
- Gather up items that don’t belong here to add to your trash, sell, and donate, boxes
- Remove everything from under the bed
- Dust the surfaces, blinds, and curtains
- Rotate and flip your mattress
- Vacuum the floor
- Wash the sheets
- Open up windows to let fresh air inside
Spring Cleaning the Living Room

Here are some checklist items for spring:
