Spring is the perfect time to reset your home, whether you’re settling in for the long haul or thinking about listing in this competitive Metro Detroit market. A thorough spring cleaning not only freshens your space, it helps you see your home with a buyer’s eye. Clean, decluttered homes feel larger, brighter, and more inviting, and that matters whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to love where you live a little more this season!
Before you dive in, gather a few go-to products to make the job easier: a quality all-purpose cleaner (like Mrs. Meyer’s or Method), disinfecting wipes from Clorox, microfiber cloths, a magic eraser, glass cleaner, and a HEPA-filter vacuum. Start with decluttering before deep cleaning, it’s much easier to scrub and organize when surfaces are clear. Focus first on high-impact, low-sentiment areas to build momentum.
Where to Start (Easiest Wins First):
– Entryway & Coat Closet: Remove unused winter gear, donate extra coats, store boots, and clear shoe clutter.
– Kitchen: Toss expired pantry items, consolidate duplicates, wipe cabinets, and clear countertops of small appliances.
– Bathrooms: Dispose of old products, organize drawers, replace worn shower liners, and deep clean grout.
– Bedrooms: Swap winter bedding, declutter nightstands, and edit closets (if you haven’t worn it in a year, let it go).
– Living Spaces: Remove excess décor, organize cords, wash windows, and rearrange furniture for better flow.
Spring cleaning has real benefits beyond aesthetics. It reduces stress, improves indoor air quality, and helps you maintain your home’s value. If you’re considering selling this year, a decluttered and freshly cleaned home photographs better, shows better, and often sells faster. Even if you’re staying put, a refreshed space sets the tone for a productive and lighter season ahead.
