Spring Cleaning Checklist: Get Your Home in Top Shape 

Spring is here — the perfect time to throw open the windows, let the sunshine in and finally tackle those chores you’ve been avoiding since winter.

 

Whether you’re a cleaning fanatic or would rather not think about it, a solid checklist makes the job easier (and maybe even a little satisfying).

 

So, grab your cleaning supplies and let’s get to it!

 

Declutter Like You Mean It

 

Before you even think about dusting, clear out the clutter. Go room by room and be ruthless — do you really need that drawer full of takeaway menus from 2015? Sort your items into three piles: keep, donate or bin.

 

There will be some things, however, that you simply can’t part with. Sentimental keepsakes, seasonal clothes and that fondue set you swear you’ll use one day can all take up valuable space.

 

That’s where we come in. We’ve got secure storage units right here in Louth, so you can keep the things you love without cramming them into every available corner at home.

 

Tackle the Kitchen (Yes, Even the Oven)

 

The kitchen is where crumbs, grease and mysterious sticky patches go to hide. Start by clearing out your cupboards — check those expiry dates (looking at you, ancient spices). Scrub the oven, defrost the freezer and give your fridge shelves a proper wipe-down.

 

Got gadgets gathering dust? If you’re not ready to part with that waffle maker or smoothie blender, pop them into storage. We’ve got units of all sizes to help you reclaim your counter space.

 

Switch Up Your Wardrobe

 

Spring means swapping out thick jumpers for lighter layers. Pack away your winter clothes, but don’t just shove them under the bed — our wardrobe boxes and plastic covers keep your clothes fresh and ready for next season.

 

And be honest with yourself — if you haven’t worn something in the last year, are you really going to? Does it still fit? Bag up anything you don’t need and donate it. Your wardrobe (and local charity shops) will thank you.

 

Don’t Forget the Forgotten Spaces

 

Some areas only get cleaned once a year — this is that time. Add these to your list:

 

• Skirting boards and door frames
• Light fixtures and ceiling fans
• Behind and under furniture
• Curtains, blinds and windows

 

If you find things lurking in cupboards that you think you might need one day but don’t want to take up space, we’ve got a storage unit with their name on it.

 

Sort Out the Garage Before It Sorts You Out

 

Garages tend to be where things go to disappear. If yours is more “clutter cave” than “useful storage space”, it’s time for a clear-out. Empty it, sweep it and only put back what you actually use.

 

For seasonal gear like camping equipment, ski, or those extra DIY tools, we’ve got storage options so you can free up space without saying goodbye forever.

 

Get Your Garden Ready for Sunshine (Whenever It Decides to Show Up)

 

Spring in the UK is unpredictable, but when the sun does make an appearance, you’ll want your outdoor space ready. Sweep the patio, clean the BBQ and dust off the garden furniture.

 

If your shed is bursting at the seams, don’t force it shut and hope for the best — store what you don’t need right now with us.

 

The Final Touches

 

Once you’ve tackled the big jobs, add those little touches that make your home feel fresh. Open the windows, pop some flowers in a vase and light a candle with a crisp scent.

 

And while you’re in cleaning mode, why not tackle your digital clutter too? Delete old emails, back up your photos and organise your files — it all counts!
