Spring is the natural time to reset a home in Melton. Heaters are switched off, windows are opened, and dust that built up over winter becomes obvious in the brighter light. It is also the right time to get cooling ready before summer.
Use this checklist to work through the house room by room.
Whole house
- Dust from the top down: ceiling fans, light fittings, cornices and the tops of cupboards.
- Vacuum and wipe ducted heating vents and return-air grilles.
- Wash skirting boards, door frames and light switches.
- Clean windows, sills, tracks and fly screens.
- Wash or dust curtains and blinds, following the care labels.
Getting cooling ready
- Remove, vacuum and rinse split system filters if your manual allows it.
- Wipe split system covers and clear leaves from around the outdoor unit.
- If you have evaporative cooling, book a service before the first hot day.
Internal coils, ducting and refrigerant need a qualified air conditioning technician.
Kitchen
- Empty the pantry, wipe shelves and throw out expired food.
- Clean the oven, cooktop and rangehood filters.
- Pull out the fridge if safe, vacuum the coils area and clean the floor beneath.
- Degrease cupboard fronts and handles.
Bathrooms and laundry
- Descale shower screens and scrub grout.
- Clean exhaust fan covers.
- Wash shower curtains and bath mats.
- Clean the washing machine filter and door seal.
Bedrooms and living areas
- Rotate and vacuum mattresses. See our mattress cleaning guide.
- Vacuum couches and cushions, or book an upholstery clean.
- Swap winter bedding for lighter layers and wash the winter set before storing it.
- Get carpets professionally cleaned if they look dull after winter.
Outside
- Sweep the porch, alfresco and garage.
- Wash outdoor furniture.
- Clear cobwebs from eaves and outside lights.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to spring clean?
September to November suits most Melbourne homes, because heating is being switched off and windows are opened more. It is also a good time to service cooling before summer.
Should I clean my split system filters myself?
Most split system filters can be removed, vacuumed and rinsed by the owner. Check your manufacturer's manual. Internal coils and drainage should be serviced by an air conditioning technician.
How long does a spring deep clean take?
It depends on the size and condition of the home. A deep clean takes several hours longer than a regular clean, and a quote can include an estimate of the time.
