As sunshine and warmth make their long-awaited return, there’s no better time to kick off your spring cleaning! A fresh, clutter-free space sets the tone for a vibrant season ahead. With these expert cleaning tips and product recommendations, refreshing your home for spring has never been easier. Get ready to welcome the new season with a sparkling, organised home!
Starting your spring clean with a thorough declutter and reorganisation session is the perfect way to create space and set the stage for a more effective deep clean. Smart storage solutions can make all the difference, helping you organise your essentials while keeping your space tidy and stylish.
For a versatile and modern option, the Casa Eclipse shelving unit is ideal. Its open shelves are perfect for displaying decorative pieces, while the built-in cupboard lets you neatly tuck away any clutter. If you need more compact and affordable storage solutions, 5five offers a range of stylish and functional products that fit seamlessly into your existing space.
Try their 34L plastic storage boxes for easy and practical organisation or opt for a more permanent solution with a compartment shelving unit and chic fabric storage cube inserts. If your entryway is in need of a refresh, explore our range of shoe storage options. Choose a tall cabinet for tighter spaces or go for a bench-style unit that provides both storage and a comfortable spot to put on your shoes.
With the right storage solutions, clearing the clutter and refreshing your home for spring will feel effortless!
Once your space is organised, it’s time to dive into a deep clean. Tackling each part of your home methodically ensures a thorough and satisfying refresh. A great place to start is with the floors — and for that, a powerful and reliable vacuum cleaner is essential.
The Dyson V12 is a game-changer for deep cleaning. Its cordless design offers the flexibility to move easily from room to room without getting tangled up, while the variety of attachments allows you to tackle every nook and cranny. Whether you’re cleaning under furniture, clearing cobwebs from ceilings, or freshening up carpets and hard floors, the Dyson V12 makes it easy and efficient. Finish off your floors with a 5five bucket and mop set for a sparkling finish. Its easy-to-use design makes mopping quick and efficient, leaving your floors gleaming and refreshed.
Don’t forget about your bins — they can easily accumulate grime and unpleasant odours over time. A simple yet effective hack to keep them fresh involves using everyday baking soda for a quick and natural clean:
1: Rinse your bin thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
2: Sprinkle baking soda liberally at the bottom to neutralise odours.
3: For an extra fresh scent, add a few drops of essential oil (like lemon or eucalyptus) before lining your bin with a clean bag.
This quick trick helps keep your bins smelling fresh and clean all season long!
A spot that’s often overlooked during spring cleaning is the windows. Say goodbye to condensation and streaks with the Karcher WV window vacuum cleaner. Its powerful suction removes water and grime effortlessly, leaving your windows crystal clear and streak-free. Multi use, the Karcher cleaner can be used on other glass items such as tables, mirrors or even electric hobs.
Once your home is sparkling clean, why not introduce some fresh furnishings or new paint colours to give your space a whole new look? This final touch can breathe life into your home and create a welcoming, spring-ready atmosphere.
For a bold yet uplifting update, consider Dulux’s Colour of the Year, “True Joy” which is a vibrant yellow that radiates warmth and positivity. It’s easily mixed at one of our paint mixing stations, making it a convenient way to add a trendy, cheerful touch to your space. If you’re after something softer and more serene, Johnstone’s Natural Sage paint offers a calm, laid-back vibe perfect for embracing spring’s fresh energy.
After painting, add soft furnishings in floral designs or pastel tones to enhance the seasonal feel. The Graham & Brown Ethereal Flora bedding collection is a stunning choice, featuring a soothing sage green background adorned with delicate floral accents.
To complete the look, introduce smaller decorative pieces like the Atmosphera Arvo vase in green and white for a cohesive, tranquil aesthetic. Finally, for an extra touch of comfort, place fresh linen sprays, scented sachets, or essential oil diffusers around your home to maintain a calming, clean scent throughout the season.
With these thoughtful updates and spring cleaning essentials, your home will feel refreshed, inviting, and ready to embrace the beauty of spring!
