Spring cleaning in San Diego is about resetting after winter and clearing the dust and coastal grime that build up over the year. Work top to bottom, one room at a time, so dust falls onto surfaces you have not cleaned yet.
Whole-home reset
- Dust ceilings, fans, vents, and light fixtures first
- Wash interior windows, screens, sills, and tracks
- Wipe baseboards, doors, and switch plates
- Launder curtains and wash blinds
Kitchen and bathrooms
- Clean inside the oven, fridge, and microwave
- Descale faucets and showerheads (helpful with San Diego hard water)
- Refresh grout and re-caulk if needed
- Empty, wipe, and reorganize cabinets and the pantry
Floors and soft surfaces
- Deep clean carpets and area rugs
- Spot-clean upholstery and mattresses
- Mop and polish hard floors
Declutter
- Sort closets and donate what you do not use
- Clear junk drawers and paperwork
- Check and replace HVAC filters
Want a head start? A one-time deep clean from $250 covers the whole spring reset in a single visit.
