Spring Deep Clean Checklist — Ontario Homes
Spring cleaning in Ontario is driven by a real seasonal shift — months of closed windows, salt and dirt tracked in from winter streets, and a furnace running full-time all leave their mark on a home's surfaces, air, and overall cleanliness. Here's a room-by-room checklist.
Kitchen
- ☐ Inside oven — degreased and cleaned
- ☐ Inside fridge — all shelves and drawers removed, washed, interior wiped
- ☐ All cabinet interiors — shelves wiped, crumbs removed
- ☐ Range hood filter — cleaned or replaced
- ☐ Backsplash grout — scrubbed
- ☐ Behind and under refrigerator — vacuumed and mopped
Bathrooms
- ☐ Grout lines — scrubbed throughout
- ☐ Shower/tub — deep scrub including tracks and seal lines
- ☐ Behind toilet and under vanity
- ☐ Exhaust fan — wiped and vacuumed
- ☐ Cabinet interiors
Living Areas & Bedrooms
- ☐ All baseboards — wiped down
- ☐ Window sills and tracks — vacuumed and wiped
- ☐ Under furniture — vacuumed and mopped
- ☐ Light fixtures and ceiling fans — dusted

What to Leave to the Professionals
The oven deep clean, grout scrubbing, and fridge interior are the three tasks most homeowners avoid or do poorly. A professional spring deep clean in Ontario typically runs $318–$568 for a 3–4 bedroom home and covers all of the above in a single visit.
