Your Complete Spring Cleaning Guide

March 24, 2023

Spring is a time for renewal, rejuvenation... and cleaning! After a long winter of being cooped up indoors, it’s time to open the windows, let the fresh air in, and get your home or business ready for the new season. We're here to provide some tips to help make the process easier and more effective.


Benefits of Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is more than just a way to declutter and organize your space. It has numerous benefits for both your physical and mental health, including:

  1. Reducing stress: An organized space can help you feel more in control of your environment.
  2. Improving indoor air quality: Over the winter months, dust, pet dander, and other allergens can accumulate in your home or business. Spring cleaning helps to remove these allergens, improving indoor air quality and reducing the risk of respiratory issues.
  3. Enhancing productivity: A clean and organized space can help you feel more motivated and productive, making it easier to focus.


Spring Cleaning Checklist:

  1. Declutter your space: Go through your belongings and get rid of any items that you no longer need or want. Now is the time to finally tackle that junk drawer!
  2. Dust surfaces: Dust all surfaces in your home or business, including ceiling fans, shelves, countertops, and furniture. Remember to start from top to bottom, as dust will inevitably fall from higher fixtures.
  3. Clean windows: Clean windows inside and out, including screens and tracks. Use a streak-free cleaner and a squeegee for best results.
  4. Vacuum floors and carpets: Vacuum all floors and carpets in your home or business, paying attention to high traffic areas and corners. Have carpets and rugs professionally cleaned if necessary.
  5. Sweep and mop hard floors: Sweep hard floors to remove debris, then mop with a suitable cleaning solution for your flooring type.
  6. Deep clean kitchen and bathrooms: Scrub sinks, toilets, and showers/tubs with a cleaning solution and disinfectant. Clean appliances, including the refrigerator, oven, and microwave.
  7. Clean outdoor spaces: hose down porches, patios, and outdoor furniture.
  8. Check smoke detectors and replace batteries: Check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries if needed.


Spring cleaning is a lot of work, so remember to delegate tasks to your team or family, put on a good playlist, and take breaks. Get ready to roll up your sleeves, put on your cleaning gloves, and start the warmer months with a refreshed space!

More Than Clean: How a Well-Maintained Workplace Protects Your Bottom Line A clean workspace isn’t just about appearances—it’s a smart business decision. From boosting employee productivity to reducing repair costs and improving customer confidence, maintaining a clean commercial space can directly impact your bottom line. Here’s how professional cleaning helps protect your investment and drive long-term value. Boosts Employee Productivity and Morale A cluttered or dirty workplace can distract employees and even contribute to higher rates of absenteeism. Studies have shown that clean, well-organized environments lead to better focus, fewer sick days, and greater overall satisfaction. When staff feel taken care of, they’re more likely to stay engaged—and stay put. Extends the Life of Your Assets Carpets, flooring, furniture, and fixtures all deteriorate faster when they’re not properly maintained. Dirt, dust, and moisture can wear down surfaces and lead to costly replacements sooner than expected. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of these materials, preserving your investment and reducing long-term costs. Enhances Your Business Reputation Customers, clients, and vendors notice the condition of your space—especially in lobbies, restrooms, and shared areas. A clean facility signals professionalism and attention to detail, while a poorly maintained one can raise doubts about the quality of your services. First impressions matter, and cleanliness is one you can control. Reduces Safety and Liability Risks Spills, clutter, and buildup can all contribute to slip-and-fall accidents or other hazards in the workplace. Regular cleaning and maintenance reduce these risks, helping you maintain compliance with safety regulations and avoid potential liability claims. Prevents Bigger Problems Down the Line Ignoring small issues—like mold, leaks, or pest-attracting debris—can turn into major headaches. Professional cleaners are trained to spot and address these early, often before you’re even aware there’s a problem. This proactive approach saves you money on emergency repairs and health-related shutdowns. Clean Today, Save Tomorrow Commercial cleaning is more than a routine—it’s a strategic investment in your company’s performance, image, and future. By prioritizing cleanliness and upkeep, you’re not just maintaining appearances—you’re protecting your bottom line..

We proudly serve the Grand Island, Hastings, Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney, and Council Bluffs areas .

As the winter cold sets in across Nebraska and Iowa, homeowners face a significant risk: frozen pipes. When temperatures plummet, the water in pipes can freeze, leading to expansion and potential bursts that flood homes and cause extensive damage. Here’s a guide on safeguarding your plumbing as winter approaches. Why Frozen Pipes Are a Problem When water freezes, it expands. In confined spaces like pipes, this expansion creates pressure, which can lead to cracks and bursts. Pipes in unheated spaces, such as basements, attics, and garages, are especially vulnerable, as are those along exterior walls. Once a pipe bursts, the resulting flood can cause thousands of dollars in damage—not to mention the hassle of cleanup and repair.
