Spring Cleaning Tips: New House Cleaning Checklist

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home and embrace all that comes with the new season. At Peachtree Building Group, we know how important it is to maintain a clean and organized home, especially when you’ve just moved into a brand-new space. Whether you’re settling in or simply refreshing your home, these spring cleaning tips will help you keep your living environment in top shape.

Less Mess, Less Stress

Before you start deep cleaning, tackle cluttered spaces first. Go room by room, organizing and donating items you no longer need. This step makes cleaning easier and helps maintain a fresh, open feel throughout your home. If you’re settling into a new home, decluttering will also make decorating easier—check out these 2025 interior design trends for inspiration.

High-Touch = High Priority

Your house cleaning checklist should include frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and countertops. These areas accumulate germs quickly, so using a disinfectant will help maintain a healthier home.

The Dirt Stops Here

Spring is a great time to vacuum and deep clean carpets, mop hardwood or tile floors, and shake out rugs. Consider hiring a professional service if your floors need extra care. Keeping floors clean is essential for maintaining your home’s value—just like following these home maintenance tips that are perfect for new homeowners.

Spring in the Air

Once your home is spotless, bring in the essence of spring with light, fresh scents. Citrus, floral, and herbal fragrances can invigorate your space. Consider using some of these essential scents to welcome the beauty of spring into your home.

Prevent Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Don’t forget to clean areas that often go unnoticed, such as baseboards, ceiling fans, vents, and behind appliances. These spaces collect dust and allergens, which can affect indoor air quality. Preparing for spring allergy season by keeping your home dust-free can make a big difference for those who suffer from allergies this time of year.

Make Your Backyard Bloom

Spring cleaning isn’t just for the indoors—take the time to clean patios, decks, and outdoor furniture. Sweeping away leaves, washing windows, and prepping your yard will create a welcoming space perfect for hosting guests.

Speaking of entertaining, if you’re planning a gathering, here are some tips for how to host the perfect housewarming party to show off your freshly cleaned new home!

Eco-Friendly Cleaning for a Chemical-Free Home

Many homeowners choose homemade cleaners as an eco-friendly, cost-effective alternative to traditional cleaning products. Create your own natural cleaning solutions at home by using ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon. For a fresh scent, make a simple DIY all-purpose cleaner by mixing equal parts water and white vinegar with a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
