🌷 Welcome Spring with a Cleaner, Fresher Home

Your seasonal guide to a healthier, more vibrant living space.

Spring in Wake Forest, NC brings blooming flowers, warmer air, and longer days—making it the perfect time to hit reset and refresh your home. After months of closed windows, indoor hibernation, and winter buildup, your space deserves a deep clean that clears the air and lifts your mood.

Not sure where to start? These expert spring cleaning tips will help you tackle each room with ease—and create a healthier environment for you and your family.

1. 🧹 Declutter First for an Easier Clean

Before you reach for the mop or vacuum, start with a purge. Decluttering clears space, reduces stress, and makes deep cleaning faster and more effective.

✔ What to Declutter:

• Closets & Drawers: Donate clothes and shoes you haven’t worn in the past year

• Kitchen & Pantry: Toss expired goods, consolidate storage, and reorganize shelves

• Living Areas: Store away heavy blankets, winter décor, and excess clutter

💡 Pro Tip: Use the “One-Year Rule”—if you haven’t used it in the past 12 months, it’s time to let it go.

2. 🧼 Refresh Carpets & Hard Floors

After a winter of muddy shoes and closed windows, your flooring is likely holding onto dust, debris, and allergens.

✔ Floor Cleaning Tips:

• Carpets & Rugs: Vacuum thoroughly, then shampoo or steam clean

• Hardwood & Tile: Sweep, mop, and polish with surface-appropriate products

• Entryway Mats: Wash or replace mats to prevent outside dirt from re-entering your home

💡 Did You Know? Professionally cleaned carpets can significantly improve indoor air quality, especially during spring allergy season.

3. 🪟 Wash Windows for a Brighter, Lighter Space

Spring sunshine is the best natural mood booster—but dirty windows block that light. Make the most of the season with streak-free windows.

✔ Window Cleaning Checklist:

• Clean both sides of windows with a glass-safe, streak-free cleaner

• Vacuum and wipe window tracks and sills

• Wash curtains or wipe down blinds

💡 Fun Fact: Clean windows can allow up to 30% more natural light into your home.

4. 🍽 Deep Clean the Kitchen

The heart of the home gets the most use—and it’s often the grimiest.

✔ Kitchen Areas to Tackle:

• Appliances: Scrub the fridge, microwave, and oven inside and out

• Cabinets & Counters: Wipe down handles, corners, and surfaces with a disinfectant

• Sink & Disposal: Pour in baking soda + vinegar, let sit, and rinse with hot water

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to clean underneath and behind the fridge and stove!

5. 🛏 Banish Allergens from Bedrooms

Spring allergies in Wake Forest are no joke. Pollen and dust mites love to hide in soft surfaces, especially in your bedroom.

✔ Bedroom Refresh Tips:

• Wash all bedding—including pillows and comforters—in hot water

• Flip, rotate, and vacuum mattresses to reduce allergens

• Wipe down nightstands, baseboards, and ceiling fans

💡 Bonus: Adding a small HEPA air purifier in each bedroom can help ease allergy symptoms.

6. ✨ Sanitize High-Touch Surfaces

It’s easy to overlook the spots we touch constantly—but these areas harbor germs, allergens, and bacteria.

✔ Don’t Forget These Surfaces:

• Light switches & doorknobs

• TV remotes & keyboards

• Stair railings & cabinet pulls

• Appliance buttons & handles

💡 Did You Know? The average kitchen sponge carries more bacteria than a toilet seat. Replace it weekly!

7. 🌿 Bring the Outdoors In

Welcome spring energy into your home by adding natural elements and creating an inviting, fresh atmosphere.

✔ Easy Ways to Freshen Up:

• Indoor Plants: Improve air quality and add a vibrant touch

• Fresh Air: Open windows during low-pollen days to let in a breeze

• Seasonal Scents: Use citrus or herb-scented candles or diffusers to elevate the mood

💡 Mood Boost: Natural light + clean spaces + fresh scents = instant spring refresh.
