A New England Spring Cleaning Checklist, Room by Room

Months of closed windows, running heat and tracked-in snow leave every New England home ready for a reset. Spring cleaning does not have to take over every weekend in April. Work through it room by room and spread the list over a few weeks.

Kitchen

• Empty and wipe the fridge, tossing anything that lingered through winter
• Degrease the range hood and filter, which work overtime in cold months
• Wipe cabinet fronts and the tops of upper cabinets
• Clean behind and under small appliances

Bathrooms

• Scrub grout and caulk where winter humidity encouraged mildew
• Wash or replace the shower liner and bath mats
• Clear out expired medicine and old products

Bedrooms

• Swap heavy winter bedding for lighter layers and wash the duvet
• Flip or rotate the mattress
• Vacuum under the bed, where dust gathers all winter

Living areas

• Dust ceiling fans before you turn them on for the first time
• Vacuum radiators and baseboard heaters, which collect a surprising amount of dust
• Wash windows and screens once the pollen settles

Entry and mudroom

• Wash winter mats and store boots, salt-stained gear and ice scrapers
• Wipe walls and baseboards near the door, where splashes dried all winter
