Clean smarter, not harder
Spring cleaning is more than just a tidy-up. It's a chance to deep clean the spaces you overlook during routine cleans, air out the house, and create a fresh, healthy environment. Let's get started, one room at a time.
1) Before You Start: Declutter Everything
You can't clean clutter. Before you pick up a sponge, grab three boxes and label them: Keep, Donate/Sell, and Bin. Go through each room and sort items. Being ruthless here will make the cleaning process faster and more effective.
“The golden rule of spring cleaning: always declutter first. It creates a clean slate and makes the deep cleaning tasks far less daunting.”
2) The Kitchen: Heart of the Home
The kitchen accumulates grease and grime. Work from top to bottom.
- Wipe down walls, cabinet fronts, and the rangehood filter.
- Empty, clean, and reorganise the pantry and fridge, checking expiry dates.
- Deep clean the oven, stovetop, and microwave.
- Descale the kettle and coffee machine.
- Clean and sanitise the sink, drains, and rubbish bin.
3) Living Areas: Dust and Refresh
These high-traffic areas gather dust and need a thorough reset.
- Dust and wipe all surfaces, including cornices, skirting boards, and light fixtures.
- Vacuum upholstery, cushions, and under furniture. Consider a professional clean for couches and rugs.
- Clean windows and mirrors, inside and out.
- Wipe down electronics, remotes, and light switches.
- Wash curtains or clean blinds according to manufacturer instructions.
4) Bedrooms: A Sanctuary Reset
Create a calm and clean space for rest.
- Wash all bedding, including mattress protectors, duvets, and pillows.
- Flip or rotate your mattress. Sprinkle with baking soda, let it sit, then vacuum to deodorise.
- Clear out and reorganise wardrobes and drawers. Pack away winter clothes.
- Dust all surfaces, including bed frames and under the bed.
5) Bathrooms: Banish Grime & Mildew
Focus on sanitising and tackling built-up soap scum.
- Deep clean the shower, bath, and toilet. Pay special attention to grout and seals.
- Clean the exhaust fan cover to improve ventilation.
- Wipe out all cabinets and drawers, discarding old products.
- Wash shower curtains and bath mats.
- Polish taps, mirrors, and fixtures until they sparkle.
6) Outdoors & Extras: Prep for Summer
Get your outdoor spaces ready for the Aussie summer.
- Sweep or pressure-wash decks, patios, and pathways.
- Clean the BBQ thoroughly.
- Wipe down outdoor furniture.
- Clean out gutters and check external taps for leaks.

How long should a spring clean take?
+
For an average-sized home, a thorough spring clean can take anywhere from one to three full days. It's best to spread it out over a weekend or break it down into smaller, manageable tasks.
What cleaning supplies do I need?
+
You'll need basics like microfibre cloths, an all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, a good vacuum, mop, and a scrubbing brush. For tougher jobs, consider a grout cleaner, oven cleaner, and some eco-friendly options like vinegar and baking soda.
