The ultimate spring cleaning checklist, room by room
A room-by-room spring cleaning checklist covering the deep jobs everyday cleaning misses.
Read article
Spring cleaning and deep cleaning overlap, but they are not the same thing. A deep clean is a thorough, top-to-bottom reset of a home that can be done at any time of year. Spring cleaning is a seasonal tradition that usually includes a deep clean but adds decluttering, airing the home and refreshing it after winter. Put simply, a spring clean is a deep clean plus a seasonal refresh.
What a deep clean is
A deep clean reaches the build-up that everyday cleaning misses: inside the oven, limescale, skirting, behind appliances and light fittings. It is about thoroughness, not the calendar, and is needed every few months or before events, see deep clean vs regular clean.
What spring cleaning adds
Spring cleaning takes the deep clean and wraps a seasonal refresh around it:
- Decluttering after a winter of accumulation, see decluttering before a clean.
- Airing the home and letting light back in.
- Refreshing soft furnishings, windows and outdoor spaces.
- A fresh start feeling as the seasons change.
How they compare
| Deep clean | Spring clean | |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | Any time | Seasonal (spring) |
| Decluttering | Not usually | Yes, a key part |
| Focus | Thorough reset | Reset plus refresh |
Which do you need?
If your home simply needs a thorough reset, book a deep clean whenever suits. If you want the full seasonal refresh, declutter, deep clean and a brighter home, that is a spring clean, see our spring cleaning checklist. Either way, keeping it up afterwards with a regular clean is what makes the effort last.
