Spring has arrived in Central Florida, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to refresh your home after the cooler months. As professional cleaners serving Oviedo, Winter Park, and the greater Orlando area, we've seen firsthand how Florida's unique climate presents both opportunities and challenges for spring cleaning.

Why Spring Cleaning Matters in Florida

Unlike northern climates where spring cleaning traditionally meant opening windows after a long winter, Florida's spring cleaning focuses on different priorities:

Allergen removal from oak pollen and other seasonal irritants
Humidity control preparation for the upcoming summer months
Deep cleaning before spending more time indoors during peak summer heat

💡

Start your spring cleaning during the first cool front in March when humidity levels are lower and you can open windows for better ventilation.

Room-by-Room Spring Cleaning Checklist

Living Areas

Dust ceiling fans - Essential before switching from heat to A/C
Clean air vents and replace filters - Crucial for allergen control
Deep clean upholstery - Remove accumulated dust and pet dander
Wash windows inside and out - Take advantage of lower humidity

Kitchen Deep Clean

Our team recommends focusing on these often-overlooked areas:

Behind and under appliances
Inside the refrigerator and freezer
Pantry organization and expiration date checks
Cabinet fronts and handles (they collect more grime in humid weather)

The key to effective spring cleaning in Florida is working systematically and taking advantage of those precious low-humidity days. Don't try to do everything in one weekend!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Bedrooms:

Rotate mattresses and wash all bedding in hot water
Clean out closets and donate items you didn't wear this winter
Dust baseboards and window sills thoroughly

Bathrooms:

Deep clean grout and caulking (Florida humidity can encourage mold growth)
Replace old shower curtains or deep clean glass doors
Organize medicine cabinets and dispose of expired items

Pro Tips for Success

Timing Is Everything

Best days: Cool, dry days with low humidity (typically early morning)
Avoid: Rainy days or when pollen counts are high
Plan: Break tasks into manageable chunks over 2-3 weekends

Essential Supplies for Florida Homes

Microfiber cloths (they work better in humid conditions)
Dehumidifier for basement/storage areas
Enzyme cleaners for pet accidents (more effective in humid climates)
Quality air purifiers with HEPA filters

Essential cleaning supplies optimized for Florida's humid climate

When to Call the Professionals

While DIY spring cleaning is rewarding, some tasks are better left to professionals:

Deep carpet cleaning - Especially important for allergen removal
Pressure washing exterior surfaces
Air duct cleaning - Crucial for Florida homes with year-round A/C use
Deep kitchen cleaning - Including inside ovens, range hoods, and behind appliances
