Your Complete Spring Cleaning Checklist for New Market Homes
Spring's finally here in New Market. Time to shake off the winter dust and get your home feeling fresh again. Here's how local families tackle spring cleaning without losing their minds.
Look, we've been cleaning homes around New Market, Aurora, and East Gwillimbury for years now. And every March, we see the same thing: people trying to deep clean their entire house in one weekend. Then they're exhausted and the job's only half done.
Here's a better way. Break it down room by room, spend a couple hours each day, and you'll be done before the Victoria Day weekend hits.
Start With the Kitchen (Because It's Always the Worst)
Your kitchen took a beating this winter. All those comfort meals and holiday baking left their mark. Here's what needs attention:
Kitchen Deep Clean Checklist:
- Inside the fridge: Toss expired stuff, wipe down every shelf, clean those door bins nobody ever cleans
- Oven and stovetop: Yeah, even inside. That burnt-on grease isn't going anywhere on its own
- Cabinet fronts: Fingerprints, grease splatter, dust - they're all there even if you don't notice
- Under the sink: Check for leaks, toss old sponges, organize that chaos
- Backsplash and walls: Especially around the stove where grease builds up
Pro tip from our team: Do the fridge and oven on separate days. Both jobs are exhausting. Don't try to be a hero.
Bathrooms Need Love Too
Bathrooms in New Market homes deal with hard water. That mineral buildup around faucets and shower doors? Spring's the time to really tackle it.
- •Grout lines: Get in there with a brush. Old toothbrush works great. Your knees will hurt but it's worth it.
- •Shower doors and curtains: Take the curtain down and wash it. Scrub the doors until they actually look clear again.
- •Exhaust fan: When's the last time you cleaned that? Exactly. It's disgusting up there.
- •Medicine cabinet purge: Expired medications, old makeup, whatever's been sitting there for three years - out.
Living Areas and Bedrooms
These rooms might look clean, but winter leaves dust everywhere. Ontario homes stay closed up tight from November through March. That air's been recycling the same dust and pet dander for months.
- •Baseboards and trim: Wipe down everything. You'll be shocked how much dust is there.
- •Windows inside and out: Let that spring sunshine actually shine through.
- •Curtains and blinds: Wash curtains, dust or wipe down blinds. Most people forget these entirely.
- •Under furniture: Move the couch. Yes, really. You don't want to know what's under there.
- •Carpets and rugs: Deep clean or at least vacuum thoroughly with the attachment that actually works.
The Stuff Nobody Thinks About
After doing this professionally in Aurora, Bradford, and throughout York Region, here are the spots everyone forgets:
- •Light fixtures and ceiling fans (dead bugs everywhere)
- •Door frames and light switches (surprisingly grimy)
- •Dishwasher filter (yes, it has a filter, and yes, it's gross)
- •Washing machine drum (run a cleaning cycle with vinegar)
- •Furnace filter (change it before you start running the AC)
