Spring Cleaning Tips That Boost Your Home’s Value

As the snow melts and the sunshine returns, it’s the perfect time to refresh your space and prepare your home for the spring market. Whether you're thinking about listing or just want to enjoy a more polished space, a thorough spring clean can actually increase your home’s value.

Here are our top spring cleaning tips that make a real difference:

1. Declutter Like a Pro

Less is more! Start by removing extra furniture, personal items, and anything that distracts from the flow of your home. Clean, open spaces help buyers focus on the features of your home — not your stuff. Consider donating or storing items to keep things light and airy.

2. Clean Windows & Light Fixtures

Natural light is a big selling point! Wash windows inside and out, and dust those overlooked light fixtures. Replace any burnt-out bulbs with warm, bright options. A well-lit home feels cheerful, spacious, and inviting.

3. Touch Up Walls, Trim & Baseboards

Small details matter. A quick touch-up of scuffed baseboards, chipped trim, or marked-up walls can make your home feel freshly maintained. Choose light, neutral tones to keep things universally appealing.

4. Deep Clean Kitchens & Bathrooms

These are two of the most important spaces for buyers. Scrub tile, clean inside appliances, shine faucets, and make sure countertops are clutter-free. A sparkling kitchen or bathroom gives buyers confidence in your home’s upkeep.

5. Refresh Your Floors

Whether you have hardwood, tile, or carpet, give your floors some love. Steam clean carpets, polish hardwood, and mop tile to bring out their best. If your flooring is especially tired, consider an update — it can make a big difference.

6. Boost Curb Appeal

First impressions count! Tidy up landscaping, sweep the porch, wash your front door, and add a pop of colour with seasonal planters. A neat, welcoming exterior sets the tone before buyers even step inside.

7. Add Light Seasonal Staging

Swap out heavy textiles for lighter ones, bring in fresh florals, and use soft spring colours in your decor. As certified stagers, we know these seasonal touches help buyers connect emotionally with a home.
