Make a plan
Examine your home: which areas need the most work? Where do you jump during routine cleaning? These are the best places to start. A plan will keep you focused on the task at hand. Just go room by room.
Eliminate the clutter
Studies show that a disorganized home makes it difficult to concentrate and also increases your stress level. Before starting to clean, it is important to tidy up and take the time to rearrange each space in a functional way, from cabinets to the kitchen pantry, from drawers to garbage cans. You may be surprised at the benefits of eliminating this unnecessary daily stress from your life.
Use an effective vacuum cleaner
You can remove a lot more of the dust build-up when you vacuum, a high-quality vacuum cleaner is one of the best weapons available for spring cleaning. Not only does it capture tiny particles you can't see, it also captures liquids, making thorough cleaning possible with minimal effort.

Think green when spring cleaning
Do you want to start spring on a really green note, so without exposing yourself to chemicals and toxins? Avoid toxic products, learn to read INCI and choose only 100% natural cleaning solutions, such as baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, steam, sodium percarbonate, citric acid or castile soap. To learn more, read our guide to ecological cleaning.
Always work from top to bottom
Starting to clean from the ceiling downwards is essential. This will prevent you from having to dust off or clean up your environment. Dust off your furniture and other items before vacuuming all the dust off your floors. It will save you time.
The walls and windows need you too
People almost always clean floors, but they typically forget about walls and windows. Not all dust settles on the floor and other surfaces. Just use a damp towel to clean walls, windows and shutters (starting from the top).
Don't be afraid of “forgotten” corners in the kitchen and bathroom
Don't be afraid of areas that people commonly forget to clean. Don't forget the pantry and the refrigerator. Clean the shelves and throw away all old items. Change the shower curtain. Go to the cosmetic drawer or medicine cabinet and throw out the expired items.
Don't forget… the air
Replacing the filters is one of the most important and neglected parts of spring cleaning. Worry about replacing or cleaning air conditioner filters, which accumulate dust during the winter. It's an inexpensive way to make sure you're breathing clean, healthy air.
Do you have severe allergies? Protect yourself.
Cleaning will most likely move all the winter dust onto furniture and fixtures. If you suffer from allergies, for safe spring cleaning, wear rubber gloves, face mask, scarves, and even hair nets. Protective clothing helps prevent skin irritation and allergic reactions. Against allergies, the choice of vacuum cleaner is also fundamental: the ideal are models capable of detecting dust and regulating suction for deep cleaning, such as Dreame T30. A wireless product, which works for up to 90 minutes on a full charge, comes with a unique V-shaped brush, which facilitates movement on carpets and helps detangle hair. You can buy it on the official Dreame website.
Let spring cleaning set a new tone
If your space feels dark and heavy, you can make small changes to make it light and fresh for spring. Adding new colorful pillows or wall prints are great ways to change your space for a few bucks. Replace items like duvet covers, towels, or tablecloths.
We hope we have made the task a little easier for you. Happy spring cleaning!
