I know it doesn’t feel like it, considering the recent storms and extreme weather conditions, but spring will eventually get here. And with it, our natural urge to make our homes a more welcoming, pleasant and fresh place to relax and spend time at, increases. In the past, spring was the traditional time when most of the heavy cleaning was done. And although today, we are not confined by the season changes to deep clean our homes, the revival of nature still feels like the perfect time to revive our living environment.

So, what are the essential spring cleaning areas and tasks you shouldn’t skip?

The Bathroom

I am sure you take weekly care of your bathroom as one of the most important areas in your home to keep sanitised at all times. But every once in a while, the bathroom needs more than just a few scrubs. Your shower head might need a bit of pampering to remove limescale. Also, your toilet bowl may need a deep sanitising. Don’t forget to clean the inside and behind the vanity.

The Kitchen

There are a lot of things you need to consider for spring cleaning in the kitchen. Starting from the reorganisation of the cupboards. You will need to clean them from the inside too. Move on to the pantry - make sure you throw away everything with past use by due date and dust and polish the shelves. Finding cobwebs in there isn’t that uncommon, especially if you didn’t perform deep cleaning in the autumn, so make sure you get rid of them.

The Oven

There’s no need to clean your oven weekly, but this is certainly one of the essential items on your spring cleaning checklist. It’s not an easy task, so allow a couple of hours or more just for the oven cleaning. Alternatively, you can book a professional oven cleaning service and let them do the unpleasant work, while you move on to lighter cleaning tasks around the house.

The Fridge

Still in the kitchen, don’t skip a deep clean of your fridge. It is a perfect opportunity to take all food out and clean the shelves and racks. Once you are done, try to clean also behind the fridge. It needs space to “breathe” and you should make sure there isn’t large dust built-up at the back.

The Washing Machine and Dishwasher

Those two appliances are in charge of doing some of your house chores, but after all that cleaning, they need to be cleaned as well. Follow the manuals if you have never cleaned your washing machine or dishwasher before. It’s not so hard, but be prepared for a not so pleasant view.

The Windows

It may be a bit pointless to clean your windows from the outside, considering the heavy amount of rain falling during the spring months, yet the inside should not be missed! Polish your windows along with the frames to bring more light in the rooms and boost the general positive atmosphere in your home.

Spring cleaning also involves a deep clean under and behind all heavy furniture and appliances. We wouldn’t recommend you doing it all on your own. Ask a friend or a family member to help. If that’s not an option, then book a professional spring cleaning service from a reliable local company. Bredon Hill Cleaning Services would love to be your partner on your spring cleaning project.
