Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home and start the season with a clean, organized space—especially if you’ve recently moved into a new build home. At Dunhill Homes, we know how exciting (and overwhelming!) the early months of homeownership can be. That’s why we’ve put together the ultimate guide filled with spring cleaning tips for new homeowners, plus must-have products to help you tackle that to-do list with confidence.
Whether you’re settling into a new space in our hot new Skyview community or another beautiful Dunhill community, these tips will help you keep your home looking brand-new.
🌸 Top Spring Cleaning Tips for New Homeowners
1. Break It Down Now: Make a Room-by-Room Plan
Break down your spring cleaning checklist by room. Focus on spaces you use most—like kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas—before moving on to secondary areas like the garage or guest rooms.
2. Declutter Before You Clean
If you’ve just moved, it’s the perfect time to evaluate what you really need. Go through your closets, drawers, and storage bins and donate or recycle anything you no longer use. This can be a difficult or emotional process for some people so try making a list of qualifiers for what you can keep to help you stay in line with your goals.
3. Clean from Top to Bottom
Start with ceiling fans and high shelves, then work your way down. This keeps dust and debris from falling on already-cleaned surfaces.
4. Deep Clean Forgotten Areas
Check behind appliances, inside light fixtures, baseboards, and windowsills. These often-overlooked areas can collect dust quickly in a new home. Don’t forget those blinds!
5. Check & Replace Filters
Your HVAC system works hard in a new home. Make sure to replace air filters and clean your vents for better indoor air quality and energy efficiency. Pro Tip: make a note of the air filter size in your new home to ensure you always know which one you need without having to pull it out to check!
