Have you ever wondered why spring cleaning is so important? During the winter months, the air is dry and can become stagnant. As dust settles, respiratory ailments can arise as a result.
It’s important to prioritize spring cleaning because it can help improve your air quality. Here’s your spring cleaning guide with some little-known cleaning tips to ensure your home is deep-cleaned and ready for spring!
Spring Cleaning Checklist
Clean your windows and window screens.
As warmer air makes its way, you’ll want to let more light and fresh air in. Wipe down the windows with a microfiber cloth and warm water to ensure you can enjoy the spring air. Consider giving your window treatments a wash, too, for good measure.
Spring is the perfect time to feng shui.
Items and furniture in your home or apartment remain in one place over a long time, allowing dust and dirt to build up. A thorough spring cleaning removes the accumulated dust and dirt buildup that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. As a bonus, this might also be a good time to rearrange the furniture for a new feel in your home.
Change your air filters.
Spring cleaning removes dust and dirt buildup that can easily accumulate in your home or apartment. Air filters are proven to reduce dust buildup by up to 99%, along with other allergens and airborne contaminants. While you’re spring cleaning, don’t neglect to replace your air filters. If you live in an apartment, have maintenance come by and switch out your current air filter for a new one.
Pay attention to your vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum cleaners are the real MVPs of spring cleaning. Before you go to town vacuuming the floors, check to ensure the vacuum filter is clean and remove any clogs. Use a good, sturdy mop for tile floors to wipe up any additional dirt or dust that the vacuum might have missed.
Change out the batteries.
Check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they’re in working order. That’s something that many of us often forget, but it is extremely important!
Declutter your space.
Clutter can build up over time. Spring is the perfect time to take an inventory. Keep what you need and want, and sell/donate the rest!
Show your appliances some love.
We use our appliances daily, but many don’t consider keeping them clean. Use a probiotic cleaner to refresh your washing machine, dishwasher, kitchen sink, and garbage disposal. While you’re cleaning the kitchen, wipe down your coffee maker, refrigerator, and stovetop if they need it!

Don’t forget the ceiling fans.
Ceiling fans are notorious for gathering dust. Give each blade a good wipe down and install ceiling fan filters to make future cleaning a breeze.
