Spring Cleaning Checklist for Florida Homes

Spring cleaning in Florida requires special attention to our unique climate challenges. High humidity, frequent rain, and year-round warmth create specific cleaning needs. Use this comprehensive checklist to tackle every room and prepare your home for the season ahead.

Kitchen Deep Clean

Clean inside and behind appliances, degrease range hood and filters, organize pantry and discard expired items, deep clean oven and microwave, wash cabinet fronts and hardware, and sanitize countertops and backsplash. Don't forget to check under the sink for any moisture issues.

Bathroom Refresh

Scrub tile and grout, clean and disinfect all surfaces, wash shower curtains and bath mats, organize cabinets and medicine chest, check for mold or mildew, and ensure proper ventilation. Florida's humidity makes bathroom maintenance especially important.

Living Areas

Dust ceiling fans and light fixtures, vacuum upholstery and under cushions, clean windows inside and out, wash curtains or blinds, organize entertainment centers, and deep clean carpets or area rugs. Pay special attention to air vents and filters.

Bedrooms

Wash all bedding including mattress covers, rotate and vacuum mattresses, organize closets and donate unused items, dust all surfaces including baseboards, clean under beds, and wash windows and window treatments.

Outdoor Spaces

Power wash patios and walkways, clean outdoor furniture, inspect and clean gutters, wash exterior windows, check for any needed repairs, and prepare outdoor living areas for use. Florida's outdoor spaces need regular attention to combat mildew and weather damage.
