New Jersey winters are long, dark, and dusty. By the time spring arrives, windows are streaked, air is stale, and corners have collected months of neglect. A structured spring cleaning restores both your home and your mood.
Start up high. Ceiling fans, crown molding, and light fixtures collect dust all winter—tackle them first so debris falls before you clean lower surfaces. Work your way down: walls, then windows, then furniture, then floors.
In the kitchen, empty and wipe down the pantry, clean the refrigerator interior, descale the faucet, and degrease the range hood. Pull appliances forward to sweep behind them—a spot most weekly cleans never reach.
Bedrooms deserve attention too. Launder or dry-clean bedding, rotate mattresses, and vacuum under the bed. Don't forget closet shelving and baseboards.
Finally, let the light in. Clean interior windows, wipe sills and tracks, and replace furnace filters. Open every window for an hour. After a long winter, fresh air is the best finish of all.
