Your Ultimate 7-Day Spring Cleaning Schedule: Tackle One Room a Day

Spring cleaning can feel overwhelming, especially if you try to do it all at once. But what if you broke it down into just one room per day? A focused approach makes the process more manageable, less stressful, and helps you see progress fast. Here’s a simple 7-day schedule from Squeaky Clean Services to refresh your whole home, room by room.

Day 1: Living Room

Start where you spend the most time. Dust all surfaces—including shelves, picture frames, and electronics. Vacuum or mop floors, fluff pillows, and clean windows to let in that spring sunshine. Don’t forget to wipe down light switches and baseboards.

Day 2: Kitchen

Your kitchen deserves a deep clean. Clear out the fridge of expired items, wipe down cabinets and countertops, and clean appliances inside and out. Give the sink and faucet a thorough scrubbing, and mop the floor.

Day 3: Bedrooms

Strip the beds and wash all bedding, including pillowcases and mattress covers. Dust furniture, vacuum carpets or rugs, and organize closets or drawers. Take this time to declutter nightstands and dresser tops.

Day 4: Bathrooms

Scrub sinks, tubs, toilets, and shower doors. Clean mirrors, mop floors, and replace old towels with fresh ones. Don’t forget to wipe down vents and clean grout lines for a truly fresh feel.

Day 5: Dining Room

Dust all surfaces, including chairs and tables. Polish wood furniture if needed. Vacuum or mop floors and clean any light fixtures or ceiling fans. Organize any clutter on sideboards or buffets.

Day 6: Entryway & Hallways

Clear shoe racks and coat closets. Wipe down doors and door frames. Sweep or vacuum floors and clean any mirrors or windows in these areas. A tidy entryway sets a welcoming tone for your home.

Day 7: Bonus Day – Focus on Details

Use this day to tackle overlooked areas: baseboards, vents, ceiling fans, light switches, and behind furniture. It’s also a good time to wash curtains or dust blinds and refresh any houseplants.
