🌞 Not Too Late for a Spring Refresh! 🌼

Before summer officially kicks off, now’s a great time to tackle those final spring cleaning tasks and give your home a fresh start. Whether you're hosting friends, planning a staycation, or just want to lighten things up for the warmer months, this seasonal refresh checklist will help you feel organized and ready.

Late Spring Cleaning Checklist

  • Wash baseboards, window sills, door frames, ceilings, and walls
    Clear out the dust and grime that’s built up over the winter—especially in corners and high-traffic areas.

  • Vacuum and clean vents and air returns
    Improve air quality and get your HVAC system ready for summer by clearing dust and debris from all vents.

  • Dust blinds and wash windows (inside and out)
    Let the sunshine in with streak-free windows and clean window treatments that brighten up the space.

  • Wipe down all light fixtures and ceiling fans
    You’ll be surprised how much dust collects here! Bonus: clean bulbs make rooms look brighter.

  • Replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
    A quick safety check that’s easy to forget—spring is a good time to make this a habit.

  • Clean out your pantry and wipe down cabinet interiors
    Toss expired items, reorganize your shelves, and make space for summer snacks and cookout supplies.

  • Move and clean under large appliances
    Don’t forget the spots behind the fridge, washer, and dryer—they’re dust traps!

  • Wash mirrors, accessories, throw blankets, and pillow covers
    Fresh textiles and shiny surfaces instantly make your home feel more polished.

  • Deep clean and shampoo carpets or rugs
    Get rid of any lingering winter dirt and allergens hiding underfoot.

  • Flip or rotate your mattresses
    Helps them wear evenly and improves comfort over time.

  • Declutter closets and donate unused items
    A lighter closet = less stress. Plus, you’re helping others with your gently used items.

  • Purge expired medicine and refresh your first aid kit
    Especially important before summer travel and outdoor adventures.

  • Tidy up the yard and prep your garden
    Mow the lawn, plant some seasonal flowers, and check your outdoor furniture.
