At DID.ie , we’re all about making life easier—and cleaner! We’ve put together the ultimate spring cleaning guide to help you declutter, clean, organise, and decorate your home, with smart solutions and expert-recommended tools to get the job done.
Why Spring Cleaning and Easter Go Hand-in-Hand
Easter is a time of renewal, hope, and celebration. It also happens to fall right at the start of spring—making it the perfect occasion to refresh your home and mindset. A good spring clean isn’t just about sparkling windows or clean floors; it’s about creating a space that feels lighter, calmer, and more energising.
Decluttering and deep cleaning in early spring helps reset your home’s energy, reduce allergens, and set the tone for a joyful, productive season.
Step 1: Declutter Before You Clean
Decluttering first makes cleaning easier and more effective. By clearing out what you no longer need, you free up space, reduce visual stress, and set yourself up for success.
Decluttering Tips:
Start with Easy Wins : Begin with a junk drawer, your handbag, or the medicine cabinet.
Create Sorting Zones : Label bags or boxes as Keep, Donate, Bin, and Sell.
Use the One-Year Rule : Haven’t used it in the last 12 months? You probably won’t miss it.
Digital Declutter : Take an hour to organise your inbox, phone apps, and digital photos too!
Step 2: Clean Room by Room for Maximum Impact
A room-by-room approach breaks your cleaning tasks into bite-sized, manageable steps. Let’s dig in.
The Kitchen
Often the busiest space in the home, your kitchen deserves a detailed clean.
Wipe All Surfaces: Use warm soapy water or a multipurpose cleaner.
Deep Clean Appliances: Descale your kettle, clean the microwave, degrease the oven. For serious upgrades, check out our built-in ovens and dishwashers.
Empty & Organise Cupboards: Check expiry dates and rotate items.
Clean the Fridge: Wipe all shelves and bins; don’t forget the door seals.

Baking Soda Scrub: Great for sinks, tubs, and ovens.

Storage Tips by Room:
Kitchen: Use drawer organisers, lazy Susans, and labelled jars.
