Ultimate Spring Cleaning Guide: Your Room-By-Room Checklist

Spring is a great time to refresh the home with a deep and thorough clean. To make your spring cleaning easier, we’ve put together this convenient room-by-room guide, along with expert product recommendations.

General spring-cleaning jobs for throughout the home

Spring is the perfect opportunity to tackle those more in-depth (or often overlooked) cleaning tasks. Before diving into specific rooms, here are a few tips for the entire home:

  • Dust and wipe skirting boards and light fixtures
  • Clean windows and windowsills
  • Clean ceiling fans
  • Check and clean or replace air filters, such as those in split system air conditioners (consult product manuals first to ensure it’s safe to do so)

Kitchen

  • Remove expired items from the refrigerator and wipe down all compartments
  • Repeat the process for your pantry
  • Deodorise and degrease the kitchen drain
  • Scrub the stove and burners
  • Clean the extractor fan and hood
  • Clean the oven, including soaking and scrubbing racks and trays
  • Wipe down the inside and outside of the microwave
  • Wipe all surfaces, including splashbacks, walls, and cabinets
  • Dust and clean hard-to-reach spots, such as above the fridge and tops of cabinets
  • Vacuum and wash floors

Product recommendations

Hard floor cleaners are an excellent time-saving solution for hard floor cleaning. With the ability to vacuum and wash floors simultaneously, and dual tanks keeping dirty and clean water separate, you get more hygienic floors in half the time! We recommend the Wertheim Evolution Hard Floor Powerhead Attachment, combined with the Wertheim Evolution Stick Vacuum Cleaner for an excellent, affordable hard floor option.

Dining

  • Wash table linen
  • Polish silver
  • Dust china
  • Spot clean seat cushions
  • Vacuum and wash floors

Product recommendations

Lightweight and cordless, stick vacuums are the ideal grab-and-go option to get under dining tables and around chairs, picking up dropped crumbs and messes. A great choice is the Wertheim Evolution MAX Stick Vacuum. This smart stick offers benefits like multi-stage filtration and smart dust sensors that automatically adjust suction power as needed.

Lounge/living room

  • Dust and wipe down furniture
  • Spot clean or wash upholstery
  • Use a dry cloth or dryer sheets to dust electronics
  • Dust blinds and wash curtains
  • Shampoo carpets

Product recommendations

Breathe life back into your living room with our range of powerful carpet cleaning solutions. Start with a barrel vacuum such as the Wertheim 7 Series Bagged Vacuum, a deep-cleaning vacuum that reaches into carpets, lifting embedded debris. Follow this up with the Sauber Pro SG-100 Carpet Shampooer, which brings a fresh and hygienic finish back to your carpets, making them look and feel like new.

Bedroom

  • Wash bedding
  • Turn your mattress over
  • Empty cupboards and drawers, dusting and cleaning inside
  • Sort through clothes and donate unwanted items
  • Clean mirrors
  • Shampoo carpets
  • Remove everything from the desk—dust, clean, and sort through items and paperwork

Product recommendations

Like the living room, your bedroom carpets can benefit from a good shampoo. You can stick with the Sauber Pro SG-100 Carpet Shampooer mentioned above, but another great option is the Wertheim SE2000 Extractor Carpet Shampooer.
