Spring Cleaning Checklist
A seasonal deep-clean that refreshes air, light, and high-touch zones. Work top-to-bottom, left-to-right, and batch similar tasks for speed.
Supplies
- Microfiber cloths, dusting wand, vacuum with attachments
- All-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, degreaser, bathroom cleaner
- Mop & bucket or spray mop, scrub brushes, grout brush
- Step stool/ladder, extension duster, hose/spray nozzle (outdoor)
- Replacement filters (HVAC, range hood, water/ice), baking soda
Quick Rules
Top→bottom for every room. Dry dust first, then wet clean. Batch all windows, all vents, and all filters to avoid backtracking.
- Move light furniture; clean visible floors under heavy items.
- Open windows for ventilation; test alarms as you go.
- Keep a small repair list for anything you uncover.
1) Prep & Declutter (10–15 min)
2) Dust High-to-Low (30–45 min)
3) Windows & Tracks (30–45 min)
4) Kitchen Deep Spots (45–60 min)
5) Bathrooms Detail (30–45 min)

Tip: Work in two passes: (1) dust & glass everywhere, (2) floors last. Fewer product swaps = faster finish.
