Spring Starts Now: Your Pre-Spring Cleaning Checklist to Get Ahead (and Stress Less)

We know, we know — it’s still technically winter. But come September 1st, something in the air shifts.
The sun stays out longer. The air smells fresher. And suddenly… we notice the dust.

Spring is around the corner — and that means one thing: the annual clean-out we love to hate.
But what if you could start it now, in small, easy steps — and avoid the overwhelming chaos when September hits?

This month, we’re giving you a Pre-Spring Cleaning Checklist to get your home primed for a proper reset — without the stress. (And spoiler: this is also how to make your actual spring clean way easier.)

Your Pre-Spring Cleaning Checklist

Tackle these 6 prep steps now, and future-you will thank you:

1. Declutter Visible Surfaces

Before you deep clean, make space to clean.
Clear benchtops, nightstands, coffee tables and desks. Get rid of expired coupons, broken kids’ toys, and random “junk drawer” stuff that migrated into your life.

Pro tip: Use the 60-second rule — if it takes under a minute to throw out, put away or donate, do it now.

2. Check Your Cleaning Supplies

There’s nothing worse than psyching yourself up to clean… and realising you’re out of spray.

• Toss empty bottles
• Refill or restock essentials
• Wash microfibre cloths & check vacuum bags

Want to go natural? Restock with bicarb, vinegar, and eucalyptus oil for a DIY-friendly arsenal.

3. Inspect the “Out of Sight” Zones

• Behind appliances (hello, dust bunnies)
• Inside wardrobes
• Top of ceiling fans
• Window tracks

Don’t clean them yet — just spot what needs doing and make a short to-do list for September. Awareness = power (and less panic).

4. Do the Pre-Clean for Carpets & Blinds

Booking in a spring detail? Do this first:

• Pick up toys, cords and furniture that block carpet edges
• Give blinds a quick wipe-down
• Vacuum rugs & spot check stains
• Note any smells or damage you want addressed

This makes professional cleans faster, more effective, and cheaper in the long run.

5. Book Early (So You Don’t Miss Out)

If you’re planning a proper reset, now’s the time to lock in your spot before the rush.

6. Make It Manageable

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to mean one chaotic weekend. Break it into weekly zones:

• Week 1: Bedrooms
• Week 2: Kitchen + pantry
• Week 3: Living areas
• Week 4: Windows + outdoor refresh

Add Jim’s Cleaning in where you need backup. Or… hand the whole thing over (zero guilt necessary).
