Spring cleaning is a great way for homeowners to refresh and organize their living space. Below is a checklist from Hamilton’s leading new home builders, Multi-Area Developments, of 10 things to consider when spring cleaning your new home:

Deep Clean Carpets and Floors

Vacuum and steam clean carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Sweep and mop hard floors, paying attention to corners and baseboards. Consider professional carpet cleaning for a thorough refresh.

Wash Windows and Treatments

Clean windows inside and out. Wash or dry-clean curtains and blinds. Don't forget to wipe down window sills and frames. Letting in more natural light can make your home feel brighter and more inviting.

Dust and Wipe Surfaces

Dust all surfaces, including shelves, furniture, and decor. Wipe down countertops, tables, and other frequently touched surfaces. Consider using furniture polish or appropriate cleaners for different materials.

Check and Replace Air Filters

Replace air filters in heating and cooling systems. This improves air quality, enhances system efficiency, and ensures a healthier living environment.

Inspect and Clean Appliances

Clean out the refrigerator, freezer, oven, and microwave. Wipe down surfaces, remove expired items, and disinfect shelves. Run a cleaning cycle for the dishwasher and washing machine. Check and replace water filters if necessary.

Organize and Declutter

Declutter each room by getting rid of items you no longer need. Donate or sell items in good condition. Organize closets, drawers, and storage spaces. Consider storage solutions to maximize space.

Clean and Refresh Bedding

Launder bedding, including sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers. Consider rotating or flipping mattresses. Vacuum and clean under the bed. This is an excellent time to consider updating or refreshing your bedding.

Inspect and Clean Gutters

Check gutters for debris and ensure they are properly attached. Clean out leaves and other obstructions to prevent water damage. This is especially important after the winter months.

Test and Replace Batteries

Test smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Replace batteries if needed. Ensure that all emergency equipment is in working order for the safety of your new home.

Refresh Outdoor Spaces

Clean and inspect outdoor furniture. Sweep and hose down patios, decks, and walkways. Consider adding potted plants or flowers to bring a touch of spring to your outdoor spaces.

Remember, this checklist is a starting point, and you can tailor it to suit your specific needs and the unique features of your new home.
