Spring is here, bringing fresh blooms, sunny days, and that familiar urge to refresh our homes from top to bottom. As Certified Professional Organizers®, we know spring cleaning isn't just about tidying up—it's about creating practical, comfortable spaces that work better for everyday life.
To simplify your spring cleaning routine, we've broken down the process into manageable tasks focused on specific areas of your home. Here are easy-to-follow tips and product recommendations that make a difference, plus a printable checklist to keep your progress organized.
Kitchen
The kitchen is often the heart of the home—and also the busiest. Focus on creating practical solutions for everyday use:
Declutter countertops and cabinets, removing items you rarely use.
Organize your pantry and refrigerator using acrylic or bamboo turntables. These turntables make it easy to reach everything without digging through shelves.
Use clear glass jars for pantry staples to see at a glance when supplies run low.
Upgrade storage in cabinets with acrylic shelf dividers to keep things tidy.
Consider adding stylish and practical elements like a ceramic utensil crock or a stone drying mat to streamline your countertop.
Living Room
This is the place you relax, entertain, and spend family time. Make it comfortable and clutter-free:
Wash or freshen upholstery, pillows, and blankets.
Clear surfaces and shelves, donating or recycling unneeded items.
Deep-clean carpets and rugs using Folex, our go-to spot remover—especially helpful for homes with kids and pets.
Tackle entertainment center clutter by organizing cables and devices neatly.
Bathroom
Bathrooms should feel clean and stress-free. Here’s how to make yours more functional:
Declutter cabinets and under-sink storage, utilizing clear bins and our favorite label maker to group items.
Give tiles, grout, and fixtures a thorough cleaning.
Refresh your bath linens, removing worn or mismatched items.
Keep daily essentials accessible by using small acrylic or bamboo turntables inside cabinets or on countertops.
Bedroom & Closet
Your bedroom should be peaceful and orderly, making it easier to rest and recharge:
Sort clothing and accessories, donating pieces you no longer wear.
Organize closet shelves neatly with acrylic dividers to keep items separated.
Clean bedding deeply, washing pillows and mattress covers to refresh your sleeping space.
Clear clutter from bedside tables and dressers to create a calming atmosphere.
