Late Spring Cleaning Checklist: What to Tackle Before Summer Hits
Posted on May 20th, 2025 by Joe McCutcheon
As the weather warms and the school year winds down, late spring is the perfect time to give your home a refresh. Whether you’re hosting out-of-town guests, prepping for summer staycations, or just want a cleaner, calmer space — this checklist will help you clear the clutter and transition your home for the season ahead.
Dust High and Low
Now’s the time to get to those spots that haven’t been touched since winter.
- Ceiling fans and baseboards
- Light fixtures
- Air vents
A microfiber cloth and vacuum extension go a long way — or let us handle it in one of our deep cleaning services designed to reach every corner of your home.
Clean Entryways and Mudrooms
Late spring is when dirt, pollen, and debris tend to pile up near entrances.
- Shake out rugs
- Mop entryway floors
- Wipe down door frames and switch plates
This quick refresh helps your home feel cleaner from the moment you walk in.
Wash Linens and Curtains
Swap heavy bedding for lighter summer options and give soft fabrics a fresh start.
- Duvet covers
- Throw blankets
- Decorative pillows
- Curtains or drapes
Soft surfaces like bedding and upholstery trap allergens more than you think — even when they look clean.
Wipe Down Windows and Sills
Windows get grimy fast — especially in spring. Clean both inside and out (or at least the inside!) and wipe the sills to remove dust and leftover pollen.
- Sweep or blow off surfaces
- Wipe down furniture
- Remove cobwebs and debris
- Clear out any winter or spring clutter
Tidy Up Outdoor-Adjacent Spaces
Think porches, patios, garages, and even the area under your deck.
- Sweep or blow off surfaces
- Wipe down furniture
- Remove cobwebs and debris
- Clear out any winter or spring clutter
