With the arrival of warmer days, it’s the perfect time for a deep clean and a fresh start in your home. Whether you live in an apartment or a house, here’s a complete guide to properly maintaining your space and getting it ready for the new season.

1. Refresh the Air and Light

• Let fresh air in: open all windows for a few minutes each day to renew the air.

• Clean windows and curtains to maximize natural light.

2. Deep Cleaning Indoors

A proper spring cleaning is essential, whether in an apartment or a house:

Dust all surfaces, including furniture, light fixtures, and often-overlooked corners.

Vacuum and clean carpets and rugs to remove allergens accumulated over the winter.

Disinfect door handles, light switches, and remote controls, which are often neglected.

Wash floors and walls for a fresher, brighter interior.

3. Declutter and Organize

• Sort through winter clothes and store those you won’t need anymore.

• Discard or donate unused items to free up space.

4. Refresh the Kitchen and Bathroom

Deep clean the refrigerator and dispose of expired food.

Descale the kettle, coffee maker, and faucets for better efficiency.

Scrub tile grout and faucets to remove limescale.

5. Maintain Outdoor Spaces (If Applicable)

If you have a balcony, terrace, or small garden:

Clean the floor, garden furniture, and flower pots.

Add spring plants for a touch of freshness.

6. Check and Prepare Equipment

Inspect ventilation or air conditioning filters before summer.

Test smoke detectors to ensure home safety.

7. Create a Cozy and Inviting Interior

Update decor: swap heavy curtains and cushions for lighter fabrics.

Add color with flowers or spring-themed accessories.
