As flowers bloom and temperatures rise, May in Princeton brings fresh energy and the urge to tidy up. This Sunday, kick off your month with a spring refresh to rejuvenate your space and your mindset. After months of winter buildup, spring cleaning isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s about creating a healthy, revitalizing environment that feels aligned with the season.
1. Start with a Doorway Deep Clean
Your entryway makes the first impression, and in spring, it often carries in pollen and debris. Begin by sweeping the porch or front steps and shaking out or washing your welcome mats. Wipe down door handles, door frames, and any outdoor lights. If your door has glass inserts, clean them thoroughly for a polished touch. You can also add seasonal touches like a pot of blooming tulips or a new doormat with a cheerful greeting.
2. Dust Those Forgotten Areas
Now’s the time to tackle areas you may have ignored over the winter. Use a microfiber cloth or duster to clean baseboards, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and air vents. Dust also collects behind furniture and along the tops of picture frames and shelves, so move things around and get those hidden spots. This will help reduce allergens—especially important in a season when pollen counts are high.
3. Brighten Up Windows and Mirrors
Natural light is one of spring’s greatest gifts, so make sure it pours into your home! Clean both the inside and outside of windows using a simple vinegar and water mix for a streak-free shine. Don’t forget the sills and tracks, which often collect dirt and dead bugs. Freshly cleaned mirrors also help reflect more light, making your space feel bigger and brighter.
Refresh with Scents of the Season
Introduce spring scents into your home using essential oils like lavender, lemon, or eucalyptus. You can diffuse them, add a few drops to your cleaning bucket, or even soak cotton balls and place them in corners or drawers for a subtle, uplifting scent.
