The February Reset: 10 Small Things You Can Do Now for a Cleaner Spring

February may feel like the longest month of winter, but it’s actually the perfect time to start getting your home ready for spring. A few small tasks now can make your spring cleaning easier, more manageable, and less stressful. These quick wins set the stage for a fresh, organized home when the flowers start to bloom.

Here are 10 small things you can tackle this month to give your home a head start on spring cleaning:

1. Wipe Down Baseboards & Trim

Winter dust and grime accumulate along baseboards and trim. A quick wipe-down makes a big difference in brightening your space and reducing allergens.

2. Rotate Winter Gear Out of the Way

Store heavy coats, boots, and snow gear to reclaim closet space. Pull out lighter jackets and accessories for the coming months to keep entryways organized.

3. Reset Your Entryway

Clear clutter, vacuum or sweep floors, and wipe down surfaces. A tidy entryway helps keep dirt and debris from spreading throughout your home.

4. Clean Out the Fridge & Freezer

Toss expired condiments, leftovers, and old ice. Wipe down shelves and drawers to make space for fresh ingredients and simplify meal prep.

5. Organize Your Cleaning Supplies

Sort sprays, sponges, and wipes. Make sure everything is accessible, fully stocked, and ready for your next cleaning session.

6. Dust Light Fixtures & Ceiling Fans

Dust settles on fixtures and fans even in winter. A quick wipe keeps your home brighter and reduces airborne dust.

7. Tidy One “Drop Zone”

Focus on a high-traffic area like a kitchen counter, desk, or mudroom. Clear the clutter and set up bins or baskets to keep things organized throughout the week.

8. Refresh Your Bathroom in 10 Minutes

Wipe down counters, sinks, and faucets. Replace towels and restock toilet paper for a quick boost of cleanliness and comfort.

9. Declutter One Drawer or Shelf

Pick one small space like a junk drawer, pantry shelf, or bathroom cabinet. Sort items into keep, donate, or toss piles to maintain control over clutter.

10. Schedule Your Spring Cleaning Early

Getting ahead of the busy spring season ensures your home gets a professional deep clean at a time that works for you. Shine Bright Cleaning Services can help tackle the bigger tasks so your home is truly refreshed.
