Cleaning Experts
After months of sealed windows, recycled air, and heavy indoor use, your home has accumulated layers of dust, grease, allergens, and grime in places routine cleaning never reaches. Spring cleaning is the annual reset — and our verified professionals follow this exact checklist for every deep clean booking.
Kitchen
1. Pull out the oven and refrigerator. The floor and wall space behind these appliances collects grease, food debris, and dust. This is one of the most neglected areas in any American home.
2. Clean refrigerator coils. Dust-covered coils force your compressor to work harder, increasing energy consumption by up to 15%. Vacuum them with a brush attachment — takes five minutes.
3. Degrease the exhaust hood and filter. Soak the filter in hot water with dish soap and baking soda for 20 minutes, then scrub. Wipe down the hood exterior with a degreasing agent.
4. Descale the dishwasher. Remove and clean the filter manually. Run an empty hot cycle with two cups of white vinegar. Scrub the door gasket where mold and food particles accumulate.
5. Deep clean under the sink. Remove everything, inspect for leaks, wipe the cabinet interior, and disinfect. Replace shelf liner if it shows moisture damage or staining.
Bathrooms
6. Scrub grout lines. Apply a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Allow 30 minutes of dwell time, then scrub with a stiff-bristle brush. Seal grout annually to prevent future staining.
7. Descale fixtures and showerheads. Submerge the showerhead in white vinegar overnight to dissolve mineral buildup. Wipe faucets and handles with diluted citric acid for hard water deposits.
8. Clean the exhaust fan. Remove the cover, vacuum the fan blades, and wash the cover in warm soapy water. A clogged exhaust fan is the single biggest contributor to bathroom mold.
9. Sanitize the toilet base and surrounding floor. The perimeter around the bolts, the hinge area behind the seat, and the floor immediately surrounding the base are consistently the most missed spots in any bathroom cleaning.
10. Purge the medicine cabinet. Check every expiration date. Dispose of expired medications through an authorized take-back program. Wipe all shelves and reorganize.
Living Areas
11. Clean baseboards and crown molding. Use a damp microfiber cloth or attach a used dryer sheet to a flat mop — it picks up dust while leaving an anti-static residue that slows re-accumulation.
12. Deep clean window tracks. Vacuum loose debris first. Scrub with an old toothbrush and soapy water. Dry completely to prevent mold growth in the track channels.
13. Dust ceiling fan blades. Slide a pillowcase over each blade and pull back slowly — this captures all dust inside the case without scattering it onto furniture or floors below.
14. Move all furniture and vacuum underneath. Every couch, bed, bookcase, and dresser. You will find significant dust buildup and potentially early indicators of pest activity.
15. Clean all air vents and return grilles. Unscrew the covers, soak them in hot soapy water, and vacuum inside each duct opening as far as your hose attachment reaches.
Bedrooms
16. Vacuum and rotate the mattress. Vacuum the entire surface with an upholstery attachment, spot-treat any stains with enzyme cleaner, and rotate or flip the mattress for even wear.
17. Wash all pillows. Most standard pillows are machine washable. Use hot water with an extra rinse cycle. Add dryer balls during drying to maintain proper loft.
18. Deep clean every closet. Remove all contents. Vacuum the floor and wipe every shelf surface. Donate clothing you have not worn in the past 12 months. Wipe down before reloading.
The Overlooked Two
19. Clean the washing machine. Run an empty hot cycle with a washing machine cleaner or bleach. Wipe the rubber gasket, detergent drawer, and drum rim thoroughly. Leave the door open between loads to prevent mold.
20. Wash every trash can in the house. Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, office — every single one. Empty, scrub with hot soapy water, disinfect the interior, and air dry completely before replacing the liner.
