10 Expert Tips for the Best Spring Cleaning
Spring is the season of renewal, so it makes sense that we get the urge to clean and refresh our homes and the weather starts warming and more festivities begin. But spring cleaning isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about deep cleaning, restoring, and maintaining every element of your estate.
High-end homes require specialized care to preserve their beauty and functionality. Regardless of where you’re located, our expert tips will ensure your home is refreshed and is as ready to welcome in the new season as you are!
1. Start with a Whole-Home Declutter
Before deep cleaning, remove anything unnecessary from your space. Luxury homes tend to accumulate seasonal décor, high-end fashion pieces, and specialty storage items, so now is the time to edit and organize.
Sort and store winter clothing and accessories in breathable garment bags.
Organize pantries and kitchens, discard expired items, and deep clean shelves.
Invest in custom storage solutions to maintain a streamlined, sophisticated aesthetic.
2. Refresh High-Touch Surfaces
Some of the dirtiest places in a home are the ones touched the most. Beyond dusting, luxury homes require detailed care for high-end materials.
Polish door handles, cabinet hardware, and light switches.
Disinfect luxury kitchen appliances, from built-in espresso machines to wine coolers.
Condition fine wood furniture to maintain its luster and prevent cracking.
3. Deep Clean Luxury Fabrics & Upholstery
Textiles can harbor dust, allergens, and odors, making professional care essential.
Steam clean or professionally treat drapery and upholstered furniture.
Refresh and rotate seasonal bedding—switching out winter-weight linens for breathable spring fabrics.
Use fabric-safe sprays or essential oil mists to lightly refresh textiles without overpowering fragrances.
4. Revive Your Outdoor Living Spaces
A well-maintained exterior enhances curb appeal and extends the usability of your outdoor space.
Power wash patios, walkways, and driveways to remove grime.
Inspect outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and lounge areas—cleaning grills and protecting furniture.
Refresh landscaping with seasonal plants, ensuring garden beds and potted arrangements reflect the change in seasons.
5. Care for High-End Flooring
Luxury flooring requires careful treatment to maintain its elegance and durability.
Deep clean and condition hardwood floors to prevent wear and tear.
Professionally steam clean carpets and fine rugs to eliminate dirt buildup.
Polish stone or marble flooring to restore its natural shine without damaging the surface.
6. Inspect & Maintain Home Systems
A well-functioning home is just as important as a spotless one.
Replace HVAC filters and schedule a duct cleaning to improve air quality.
Test smart home features, security systems, and automated lighting to ensure optimal performance.
Inspect water filtration systems and softeners, replacing filters as needed.
7. Refresh Windows & Lighting Fixtures
Proper lighting and clear windows make a home feel fresh and bright.
Professionally clean windows inside and out for an unobstructed view.
Dust and polish luxury lighting fixtures, including chandeliers and sconces.
Upgrade outdated bulbs to energy-efficient, warm-toned lighting for a welcoming ambiance.
8. Organize Specialty Storage Areas
From wine cellars to custom closets, maintaining these spaces is key for a functional, high-end home.
Rotate seasonal wine selections and check for proper storage conditions.
Organize garages and home gyms, ensuring all equipment is functional and neatly arranged.
Label and catalog valuable collections to keep them organized and easily accessible.
9. Incorporate Seasonal Scents & Décor
Small details make a big impact when transitioning your home for spring.
Use high-quality, non-toxic diffusers, candles, or fresh florals to introduce subtle fragrance.
Swap out heavy winter décor for fresh, airy elements like natural textures and lighter fabrics.
Rotate artwork or decorative accents to give your home a seasonal refresh without a complete redesign.
