Getting Your Home Spring Ready | A Fresh Start for the Season
Updated: Aug 5
As the chill of winter fades away, it’s time to embrace the warmth and vibrancy of spring. The changing season provides the perfect opportunity for a fresh start getting your home spring ready, declutter, and create a bright and inviting space.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to getting your home ready.
Spring Deep Clean
Spring cleaning is a tradition for a reason! Start with a thorough deep clean.
Dust and wipe down surfaces, including skirting boards.
Wash windows inside and out to let in maximum sunlight.
Carpet cleaning and deep clean rugs.
Declutter and donate items you no longer need.
Refresh Your Decor
Say goodbye to the heavy, cozy textures of winter and welcome lighter, brighter elements:
Swap out dark throw pillows and blankets for pastel or floral ones.
Change heavy curtains for airy, sheer fabrics to let in more natural light.
Add fresh flowers or potted plants to bring a touch of nature indoors.
Organise and Declutter
Spring is the perfect time to reassess your belongings:
Organise by storing away winter clothing and bringing out lighter clothes.
Tidy up cupboards and check dates on food items.
Declutter hallways by organising shoes, coats, and accessories.
Tackle Outdoor Spaces
Your home’s exterior deserves some attention too:
Clean and prep patios, decks, and outdoor furniture.
Refresh garden beds by removing weeds and planting spring flowers.
Wash down driveways to remove winter grime.
Enhance Your Home’s Scent
Bring the freshness of spring indoors with pleasant aromas:
Open windows for fresh air circulation.
Use essential oil diffusers with citrus or floral scents.
Use natural air fresheners for a welcoming ambiance.
By following these steps, your home will be ready to embrace the beauty and renewal of spring.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spring Cleaning Your Home
When is the best time to spring clean your home?
The best time to spring clean your home is between late February and early May, when the weather begins to improve and homes can be aired out more easily. Many homeowners book our professional spring cleaning service before Easter, after winter, or before hosting family gatherings to give their property a fresh start for the new season.
Why should I have a professional spring clean instead of regular cleaning?
A regular domestic clean helps maintain your home, but a professional deep spring clean focuses on the areas that are often overlooked. This includes behind furniture, skirting boards, inside cupboards and light switches. A deep spring clean removes the built up dirt that accumulates over the winter months, leaving your home feeling healthier and fresher.
What is included in a professional spring cleaning service?
A professional spring cleaning service includes:
Deep cleaning kitchens and bathrooms
Cleaning skirting boards, doors, and door frames
Dusting high and low surfaces
Cleaning inside cupboards (if emptied)
Removing cobwebs
Hoovering and mopping throughout
Cleaning window sills and internal glass
Sanitising high touch areas
Every home is different, so the cleaning can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Is spring cleaning worth it if I already have a weekly cleaner?
Yes. Weekly cleaning keeps your home tidy, but a spring clean tackles the deeper cleaning tasks that aren't normally completed during routine visits. Having a professional deep clean once or twice a year helps maintain your home's condition and can even extend the life of flooring, furniture, and fixtures.
How long does a whole house spring clean take?
The time required depends on the size and condition of your property. A one bedroom flat may take several hours, while a larger family home could require a full day or more. Contact us if you would like to discuss your specific requirements.
Should I book carpet cleaning as part of my spring cleaning?
Yes. Combining carpet cleaning with your spring clean provides the best results. Carpets trap dust, dirt, allergens, and odours throughout the year. Our professional carpet cleaning refreshes your home and complements the rest of your deep cleaning service, leaving your rooms looking and smelling cleaner.
How often should you book a professional spring cleaning service?
Most homeowners benefit from a professional spring clean once a year. However, households with children, pets, allergy sufferers, or busy lifestyles may choose to book a deep clean service every six months to keep their home in excellent condition.
What should I do before the cleaners arrive for a spring clean?
To get the most from your appointment:
Declutter surfaces where possible.
Put away personal belongings.
Empty cupboards for internal cleaning.
Make a note of any priority areas you'd like our cleaners to focus on.
This allows our cleaners to spend more time deep cleaning rather than tidying.
