Spring Cleaning Tips to Refresh Your Windsor Home in 2025


Spring is finally here in Windsor-Essex, and that means it's time for a seasonal refresh! Whether you're preparing your home for a potential sale or just looking to declutter and deep clean after a long winter, these spring cleaning tips will help you create a refreshed space.


Spring Cleaning Checklist

1. Declutter First, Clean Second

Before you break out the mop and duster, start by decluttering each room. Sort items into keep, donate, or discard piles. A clutter-free home not only looks better but also makes cleaning much easier! Consider donating gently used items to local Windsor charities like the Downtown Mission or Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

2. Focus on Forgotten Areas

Spring cleaning is the perfect time to tackle spots that often get overlooked. Be sure to clean:

  • Baseboards and trim – Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup.
  • Ceiling fans and light fixtures – A microfiber cloth or vacuum attachment works wonders!
  • Behind appliances – Move your fridge and stove to clean out dust and crumbs.
  • Air vents and filters – Replace air filters and dust vents for better air quality.

3. Deep Clean Carpets and Upholstery

Winter can bring in dirt and salt from Windsor’s snowy streets. Rent a steam cleaner or hire a professional carpet cleaning service to remove deep-set stains and allergens.

4. Refresh Your Windows and Doors

Let the spring sunshine in! Wash your windows inside and out using a vinegar-water solution for streak-free glass. Check your weather stripping on doors and windows to ensure it's intact before the summer heat arrives.

5. Spruce Up Your Outdoor Space

Warmer weather means more time spent outside! Get your yard and patio ready by:

  • Cleaning out flower beds and adding fresh mulch
  • Washing patio furniture and checking for repairs
  • Power washing your driveway and sidewalks

6. Make It Smell Like Spring

A fresh home isn't just about looking clean—it should smell great too! Open windows for fresh air circulation, use natural essential oils in diffusers, or simmer citrus peels and herbs on the stove for a refreshing aroma.



A successful spring clean sets the stage for an organized, stress-free home. Keep up with the tidiness by doing small daily tasks, such as wiping down surfaces and decluttering as you go. Thinking of selling your home this spring? A spotless, well-maintained home makes a great first impression on potential buyers!
