The snow is falling, the air is crisp, and your home is as cozy as can be. But before you get too comfortable under that blanket, let’s talk about something that will make your life SO much easier when spring rolls around—prepping for SPRING CLEANING!

Yeah, yeah, we know what you’re thinking. “Spring cleaning? But it’s freezing outside!” Exactly! That’s why NOW is the perfect time to start tackling those cleaning tasks little by little so that when the sun finally decides to stick around, you’re not spending the first warm weekend trapped inside scrubbing baseboards.

So, grab a hot coffee (or maybe something stronger—we don’t judge), put on your favourite playlist, and let’s get this winter-to-spring transition started with a fun and Spring Cleaning Prep practical cleaning checklist!

Spring Cleaning Prep Step 1: Declutter Like a Boss

One thing we ALL accumulate over the year? STUFF. And lots of it. Winter is the ideal time to start sifting through all that clutter. Here’s how:

• Closets: If you haven’t worn it this season, will you wear it next? Be honest. Donate what you don’t need.
• Pantry & Fridge: Expired spices, old condiments, and that weird mystery jar in the back? Time to go.
• Junk Drawers: You know the one. The Bermuda Triangle of random batteries, takeout menus, and who-knows-what. Organize it or toss what you don’t need.

Less clutter = less stress. Plus, come spring, you’ll already be ahead of the game!

Spring Cleaning Prep Step 2: Dust, Wipe, and Breathe Easier

Winter means more time indoors, and all that heating can stir up dust, allergens, and pet dander. So before we start cracking windows in the spring, let’s clear out the air:

• Ceiling Fans & Light Fixtures: They’re probably harbouring enough dust to create a small furball. Wipe them down!
• Baseboards & Walls: A quick wipe with a damp microfiber cloth can work wonders.
• Vents & Filters: A clean HVAC filter means better air quality, and let’s be real—nobody likes sneezing their way through a Netflix binge.

Spring Cleaning Prep Step 3: Deep Clean the Spaces You Always Ignore

We all have those spots we conveniently forget about (out of sight, out of mind, right?). But winter is the perfect time to tackle these:

• Behind and Under Furniture: When was the last time you moved the couch? (Be prepared to find some long-lost socks.)

• The Inside of Your Appliances:

  • Microwave? Check.
  • Oven? Yikes, but check.
  • Washing machine? YES, even that needs a clean!

• Mattresses & Upholstery: A good vacuum and fabric refresh will have you sleeping better than ever.

Spring Cleaning Prep Step 4: Plan for a Smooth Spring Transition

Once the temperatures start rising, you don’t want to be stuck inside tackling all the cleaning at once. A few things you can do in advance:

• Sort Out Your Winter Gear: If you’re done with those big coats, wash and store them properly so they’re fresh for next year.
• Prep Your Entryway: Mud season is coming. Have mats, shoe racks, and a plan for all that incoming dirt.
• Check Your Cleaning Supplies: Do you have everything you need for a full home refresh? Restock on multipurpose cleaners, sponges, and trash bags so you’re ready to go!
