The Ultimate Spring Cleaning Checklist: What You’re Probably Forgetting
Spring is the perfect time to give your home a deep cleaning, but even the most thorough homeowners often miss a few key areas. While it’s easy to focus on visible messes like floors and countertops, dirt and dust tend to accumulate in places you might not even think about.
At Quick and Clean, we know that true deep cleaning goes beyond the basics. That’s why we’ve put together this ultimate spring cleaning checklist—highlighting the most commonly overlooked areas—to help you refresh your home the right way.
Baseboards
Baseboards are dust magnets, yet they’re often ignored during regular cleaning. Over time, dirt and scuff marks build up, making rooms look dull. Use a damp microfiber cloth or a magic eraser to wipe them down, and don’t forget crown molding and door frames!
Ceiling Fans & Light Fixtures
If ceiling fans aren't cleaned regularly, they circulate dust and allergens throughout your home. Use a pillowcase to trap dust from the blades. While you’re at it, dust light fixtures and replace any dim or burnt-out bulbs for a fresher look.
Behind & Under Appliances
You’d be surprised at how much grime accumulates behind your refrigerator, stove, and washing machine. Move large appliances and sweep, vacuum, and mop these hidden spots.
Window Tracks & Blinds
Spring sunlight exposes just how dirty windows can get, but many people forget about the tracks and blinds. Use a vacuum attachment or an old toothbrush to clean dirt from window tracks. Wipe down blinds with a damp cloth or use a vinegar solution to cut through dust.
Air Vents & Filters
Dust and allergens accumulate in air vents and HVAC filters, reducing air quality in your home. Remove vent covers and wash them in warm, soapy water. Replace air filters if they haven’t been changed in a while.
Door Handles, Light Switches & Remote Controls
These high-touch surfaces collect bacteria and fingerprints but are often overlooked. Wipe them down with disinfecting wipes or a gentle cleaner to keep germs at bay.
Mattresses & Upholstery
Your mattress and furniture absorb sweat, dust, and allergens over time. Vacuum your mattress and spot-clean any stains. Consider rotating or flipping your mattress for even wear. For couches and chairs, vacuum crevices and spot-clean fabric as needed.
Cabinets & Drawers
It’s easy to neglect the insides of kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Remove everything, wipe down shelves, and reorganize items. Pay special attention to spice cabinets and pantries, tossing expired items and wiping away crumbs.
