Spring in Utah brings melting snow, blooming flowers, and the irresistible urge to refresh your home. But where do you start? Our team has helped hundreds of Utah families with their spring cleanouts, and we've learned what works.
Week 1: Planning and Supplies
Before touching a single item, make a plan. Walk through your home with a notebook and list every area that needs attention. Prioritize by:
- Spaces that stress you out most
- Areas guests see
- Rooms you use daily
Gather supplies: boxes for donations, trash bags, cleaning products, and labels.
Week 2: The Purge
Go room by room with three containers:
- Keep: Items you use regularly or truly love
- Donate: Good condition items someone else could use
- Toss: Broken, stained, or unusable items
Be ruthless. That gadget you used once in 2022? Donate it. The sweater with the hole you meant to fix? Toss it.
Week 3: Deep Clean
With excess stuff gone, clean thoroughly:
- Wash windows inside and out
- Shampoo carpets and rugs
- Dust ceiling fans and light fixtures
- Clean behind and under furniture
- Organize closets with matching hangers
Week 4: Maintain
Set up systems to keep clutter at bay:
- One in, one out rule for new purchases
- Monthly donation box
- Designated spot for everything

Utah-Specific Tips
Our dry climate means dust accumulates fast. Change HVAC filters before spring cleaning to prevent recirculating dust. And don't forget your garage—winter gear, holiday decorations, and summer equipment all compete for space.
