The Ultimate End-of-Winter Home Refresh: 7 Steps to Get Your Home Spring-Ready

As we say goodbye to the chilly winter months and welcome the fresh energy of spring, now is the perfect time to give your home a seasonal reset. A little extra care now will not only make your home sparkle, but also improve air quality, reduce allergens, and create a healthier, happier space.

At Your Coastal Housekeeper, we know the difference a seasonal deep clean can make — here’s our step-by-step guide to get your home feeling brand new.

1. Dust the Forgotten Spots

Winter means closed windows, more heater use, and dust settling in hidden corners. Don’t forget:

• Ceiling fans and light fittings

• Skirting boards and window sills

• Behind furniture and appliances

  
  

2. Wash Curtains & Freshen Blinds

Curtains and blinds are magnets for dust and allergens. Wash curtains according to their care label and give blinds a thorough wipe-down with a damp microfibre cloth.

3. Deep Clean Carpets & Rugs

Months of muddy shoes and cosy indoor living can leave carpets looking tired. Vacuum with a HEPA filter, spot-clean any stains, and consider a professional steam clean for a fresh start.

4. Refresh Your Windows

A good window clean instantly brightens your home by letting in more natural light. Don’t forget to clean the tracks and flyscreens too.

5. Declutter Before You Clean

Less clutter means less to clean! Donate, sell, or recycle items you no longer need so your home feels more spacious and organised.

6. Kitchen & Pantry Reset

Check expiry dates, wipe shelves, and deep-clean your fridge and oven. This is a great time to swap out heavy winter comfort foods for lighter, fresh produce.

7. Air Out Your Home

Open the windows for at least 15 minutes a day to circulate fresh air and reduce indoor pollutants.

A seasonal refresh makes your home healthier, brighter, and more enjoyable — but it can also be time-consuming and physically demanding.If you’d like to skip the hard work, our friendly, professional team can take care of it for you.
