Why Spring Cleaning Matters More Than Ever
Spring isn’t just symbolic of new beginnings—it’s also the ideal time to address the hidden messes and built-up grime that winter leaves behind. Snow, mud, dust, and clutter take a toll on your home, and without a reset, they linger far into the summer. Key reasons to prioritize spring cleaning essentials include improved air quality, reduced allergens, a more welcoming, organized space, and increased productivity and peace of mind. Let’s explore exactly what you need to include in your seasonal cleaning strategy.
1. Decluttering: The First Step Toward a Clean Home
Before you scrub a single surface, it’s essential to reduce clutter. Decluttering isn’t just cosmetic—it makes your home easier to clean and maintain.
Quick Decluttering Checklist:
- Donate or toss unused winter gear
- Purge expired pantry items
- Recycle papers and magazines
- Organize closets by season
Need help tackling overwhelm? Our Fresh Start Program combines professional organization with cleaning support for a complete home reset.

2. Dusting from Top to Bottom
Dust builds up fast over the winter due to closed windows and indoor heating. One of the most overlooked spring cleaning essentials is proper dusting—from ceiling fans to baseboards.
Areas You Should Never Skip:
- Ceiling fans and light fixtures
- Window blinds and sills
- Door frames and baseboards
- Behind furniture and electronics
Our team uses HEPA-filter vacuums and microfiber cloths to ensure a thorough, allergen-reducing clean throughout your home. Check out our deep cleaning service for detailed dust removal.
3. Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning
During colder months, carpets and upholstery absorb everything—dust, pet dander, food spills, and more. They’re also major allergen traps if not addressed properly.
Why This Matters in Spring:
- Trapped particles circulate more when windows are open
- Allergens flare up as pollen increases
- Stains are harder to remove over time
Book a one-time cleaning with Bruna’s to restore freshness and color to your fabrics.
4. Washing Windows and Screens
Nothing screams “spring is here” like sparkling windows letting in warm sunlight. But winter grime often leaves a film that dulls even the brightest day.
Window Cleaning Tips:
- Use vinegar-based cleaner or mild soap
- Don’t forget window tracks
- Wash screens or replace if damaged
Our seasonal cleaning package includes window and screen care to brighten your home naturally.
5. Deep Cleaning the Kitchen
Kitchens take a beating over the holidays and winter months. Grease buildup, crumbs, and forgotten items in the fridge make this room a spring priority.
Kitchen Cleaning Essentials:
- Clean inside appliances (microwave, oven, fridge)
- Sanitize cabinet handles and switches
- Scrub backsplash and stove hood
- Purge expired spices and canned goods
Our clients love pairing this task with regular cleaning services to maintain results throughout the year.
6. Bathroom Detox
Bathrooms harbor bacteria, mold, and mineral buildup that intensify with humidity as the weather warms. Include this area on your spring cleaning essentials list.
Areas That Need Extra Attention:
- Shower grout and tile
- Toilet base and behind the tank
- Vent fans and mirrors
- Cabinet interiors
With Bruna’s deep cleaning service, we sanitize every corner of your bathroom to create a safer, fresher space.
7. Cleaning Vents and Replacing Filters
HVAC systems circulate air—and with it, allergens and dust. Spring is the perfect time to clean air ducts, replace filters, and prepare for the summer AC season.
What to Do:
- Replace furnace and AC filters
- Vacuum floor and wall vents
- Clean dryer vents to prevent fire hazards
Our professionals are trained to handle these details as part of your seasonal cleaning package.
8. Garage and Entryway Refresh
Mud, salt, and debris collect in these “in-between” zones, and it’s easy to overlook them. Don’t forget these transitional areas when listing your spring cleaning essentials.
Key Tasks:
- Sweep and mop garage and mudroom floors
- Organize tools and sports equipment
- Clean doormats and check for winter damage
A customized cleaning plan from Bruna’s will cover these areas and more.
9. Outdoor Cleaning: Patio, Porch, and Furniture
Warmer weather means spending time outside. To make the most of it, you’ll want clean outdoor spaces free of cobwebs, mildew, and winter debris.
Checklist:
- Power wash patio or deck
- Clean outdoor furniture
- Scrub railings and stairs
- Clear leaves from gutters and downspouts
Don’t forget our move-in/move-out services include outdoor areas for clients moving into spring-ready homes.
10. Final Touches: Fragrance, Plants, and Energy
Spring cleaning isn’t complete without adding life and energy back into your space.
Suggestions:
- Swap candles for fresh-cut flowers
- Add plants to improve air quality
- Switch heavy linens for lighter fabrics
- Open windows for fresh airflow
Bruna’s technicians are happy to assist with these final flourishes after every residential cleaning session.
