Spring has sprung! Which means it's the perfect time to start prepping for the change in seasons. With a bit of planning, you can ensure your house is fresh, clean, and ready to welcome the new season. Here’s how to prepare your house for spring in 5 easy steps.

1. Update your spring cleaning kit

Having the right cleaning supplies on hand makes tackling your spring clean a whole lot easier. Stock up on the essentials, including hard scrub paste for tougher cleaning jobs, soft scrub paste for more delicate surfaces, some specialised cleaning cloths, a mould remover in case the cooler months have left behind any unwanted mould, and a little something to help remove hard water stains.

2. Carry out a deep clean and declutter

Focus on areas that are often neglected during regular cleaning, like behind appliances, inside cupboards, and under furniture. Give your appliances a deep clean while you're at it with our appliance cleaning tablet range.

Make your way through each room and donate or recycle items you no longer need. Creating a tidy, uncluttered space is a great way to welcome the changing of the seasons.

For those bigger cleaning jobs, tools like the mini electric scrubber can help make tackling built-up grime, grout and other stubborn areas a little easier.

3. Refresh your home’s decor

Spring is the season of renewal, after all! You can swap out heavy winter blankets for lighter fabrics and brighter colours. Floral cushions, pastel throws, and fresh flowers can really capture the essence of spring.

We recommend swapping out your fabric bath mats for a Quick Dry Stone Bath Mat. They dry quickly, are super absorbent, and help keep your bathroom feeling fresh and clean.

4. Check that your cooling systems are working

As the weather warms up, ensuring your air conditioning and other cooling systems are functioning properly is essential. Replace air filters, clean vents, and consider a professional maintenance check. This can help to improve air quality and ensure your home stays comfortable throughout spring and into summer.

While you're giving your air conditioning a clean, check for any signs of mould around the vents and filters. If you spot mould, our mould removal wipes are a quick and convenient way to wipe away mould and grime from suitable surfaces.

5. Maintain your home’s outdoor areas

Spring is the perfect time to give your garden, verandah, patio and/or balcony some attention. Trim hedges, mow the lawn, and plant seasonal flowers (choose natives where possible).

Clean outdoor furniture and tackle patios and decks with pressure washers to create an inviting outdoor space where you can sit and enjoy the warmer weather. You’ll also want to give your windows some attention with quality window cleaning supplies so you can easily look out and enjoy your gardens in bloom from the comfort of indoors.

If you have a pool, now’s the time to get it into tip-top condition, who knows when the first hot day is going to hit!

By following these 5 simple steps, you can create a fresh environment in and around your home that’s ready to embrace the beauty of spring.
