There are plethora of reasons why we encourage households to undertake a “Spring Clean” at least twice a year.

From improvements to health and wellbeing, to a general feeling of calm and cleanliness in and around the home, spring cleaning creates a space that you and your family will LOVE to spend time in.

And if anyone suffers from allergies, spring cleaning is a MUST. It’s simply essential for the allergy sufferer that the home is cleaned of build ups of dust, dirt and other allergens. You’ll be amazed at just what irritants accumulate inside the home over the course of a year!

Now, while you may be thinking a spring clean comes around only once per year in the spring, a super thorough, deep clean is a great thing to do at ANY time of year.

In fact, here at Clean House Melbourne, we strongly encourage you to conduct a spring clean-style clean at least every six months. And if you have a very active home, then it’s a great idea to get stuck in and do this task with every change of season.

Now, we won’t sugar coat this, but the job of spring cleaning is a big one. Spring cleaning goes far and beyond regular house cleaning, to include all the little nooks and crannies in the home you can imagine.

Spring cleaning is a big task, and one that’s easiest left to the professionals! Expert house cleaners like us are familiar with all aspects of spring cleaning – in all environments, and we can complete the job with the least amount of fuss.

But – if you’d like to tackle your next spring clean yourself, we’ve compiled the ultimate spring clean checklist to help make your next clean the best it can be.
