Welcome Spring with a Whole-Home Refresh
As winter fades away, it’s the perfect time to embrace a whole house spring cleaning routine that clears out the clutter, freshens every surface, and renews the comfort of your home. At Sicleaning in Staten Island, we know just how transformative a proper spring clean can be — and we’ve created this ultimate spring cleaning checklist to help you do it right.
Why Staten Island Homes Need a Special Spring Clean
Spring in Staten Island isn’t just about blooming flowers—it’s pollen storms, ocean humidity, and grime buildup that standard cleaning misses.
After 12 years serving homes from Tottenville, Annadale, and South Beach, where salt, snow, and humidity leave their mark, this annual deep clean restores your space inside and out.

Use a steam cleaner on upholstery and curtains.
Wash baseboards with a damp cloth and all-purpose spray.
Clean behind appliances and under furniture.
Replace HVAC filters and clean vents.
Spring Cleaning Organization Hacks
Don’t just clean — organize! Try these hacks:
Use clear containers with labels for storage.
Adopt the “one-in, one-out” rule for seasonal items.
Create donation boxes for clothing and toys.
Tidy drawers with dividers to keep things sorted.
Eco Spring Cleaning: Safe for Your Home and the Planet
Eco-Cleaning Solutions That Actually Work
We believe in eco spring cleaning that protects both your space and the environment. Here are a few swaps we use (and recommended by organizations like the EPA):
Vinegar and baking soda instead of harsh cleaners
Microfiber cloths over paper towels
Refillable spray bottles with essential oils
HEPA-filter vacuums for allergy-friendly cleaning
Spring Cleaning for Families: Get Everyone Involved
Cleaning doesn’t have to be a solo task. Get the whole family involved:
Assign age-appropriate tasks
Turn on music to keep energy high
Set a timer and turn it into a game
Reward progress with a fun family activity
How Long Does a Whole House Spring Cleaning Take?
Depending on the size of your home and how detailed you want to be, a full spring cleaning can take:
1 day: With a team and a plan
2–3 days: If working solo or dividing by zones
1 week: If fitting in a bit each day
No matter your pace, the result is worth it: a fresh, healthy, and organized home.
