Spring Cleaning Checklist: Room by Room
Spring cleaning is more than a deep dust. It is a reset — a chance to clear the clutter, freshen every corner, and start the warmer months feeling organised. Here is your room-by-room guide.
Kitchen
Start at the top and work down. Clear out all cupboards and wipe the insides. Degrease the oven, hob, and extractor fan filter — these are often ignored through the winter. Descale the kettle, clean behind the fridge, and wipe down every appliance. Finish with the floor, getting right into the corners.
Bathroom
Descale the showerhead, taps, and toilet cistern. Re-caulk around the bath or shower if the sealant has gone mouldy. Scrub the grout between tiles with a stiff brush and a bicarbonate of soda paste. Clean inside the medicine cabinet and throw out anything expired.
Living Room
Move the sofa and chairs to vacuum underneath and behind. Wash cushion covers, throws, and curtains. Clean light fittings and lampshades. Dust skirting boards, picture rails, and the tops of door frames — areas that collect dust all year. Wipe down the TV, remote controls, and any shelving.
Bedrooms
Flip or rotate the mattress. Wash duvets, pillows, and mattress protectors. Clear under the bed — it is a magnet for dust and forgotten items. Wipe down wardrobe interiors and donate anything you have not worn in twelve months.
Hallway and Stairs
This is the first thing guests see and the last thing owners tend to clean. Wipe down the skirting boards and bannisters. Clean the front door inside and out, including the letterbox and handle. Organise shoes, bags, and coats.
Windows
Clean glass inside and out. Wipe down frames, sills, and tracks. If you have blinds, wipe each slat individually. This one task makes a visible difference to how much light comes into your home.
