Definition

Spring cleaning is an intensive, annual cleaning session traditionally done in spring. It goes beyond regular cleaning to tackle areas that accumulate dirt over winter, refreshing the entire home for the warmer months ahead.

Origins of spring cleaning

The tradition has practical roots. Before central heating, homes were kept tightly sealed in winter with fires burning constantly, leaving soot and dust throughout. Spring brought warmer weather, open windows, and the opportunity for a thorough clean.

Today, spring cleaning remains popular as an annual reset - a chance to declutter, deep clean, and prepare for the more active months ahead.

What spring cleaning typically includes

  • Deep cleaning of kitchen appliances
  • Thorough bathroom descaling and scrubbing
  • Cleaning behind and under furniture
  • Washing curtains, cushion covers, and soft furnishings
  • Cleaning windows inside and out
  • Dusting high areas, light fittings, and vents
  • Decluttering and organising
  • Cleaning storage areas and cupboards
  • Mattress and upholstery freshening
