With the wattle blooming and the Murray River sparkling, can you feel that spring has finally arrived in Cobram? After a long winter, the longer days and warm sunshine are a welcome change. This beautiful season inspires a fresh start, making it the perfect time to give your home a thorough spring clean, shaking off the winter dust and preparing for the warmer months ahead.
But here in the Goulburn Valley, spring cleaning comes with its own unique challenges—namely, dust and pollen! To help you get a brilliant result, your local cleaning expert, Darren Codling from AustClean Cobram, has put together this essential guide.
Your Cobram Spring Cleaning Checklist
1. Beat the Seasonal Dust and Pollen
The air in our region is thick with pollen this time of year from the surrounding orchards and native flora. This, combined with dust from the dry winter, settles as a fine layer on every surface.
- Wash Windows Inside and Out: Let the beautiful spring sunshine in! Cleaning away the winter grime from your windows will instantly make your home feel brighter and cleaner.
- Clean Screens and Tracks: Don’t forget to wash your fly screens to remove trapped pollen and dust. Vacuum out the window and door tracks where grit and dead insects accumulate.
- Wipe Down All Surfaces: Go beyond a quick flick with a duster. Use a damp microfibre cloth to wipe down skirting boards, ceiling fans, light fittings, and the tops of cupboards to capture and remove allergens.
2. Deep Clean Carpets and Floors
Your floors have copped a lot through winter, from muddy shoes to tracked-in dirt. A spring clean is the perfect time to go deeper than a standard vacuum. A professional carpet clean will extract the deep-seated agricultural dust and allergens, leaving your carpets sanitised, fresh, and looking vibrant.
3. Refresh Your Outdoor Living Spaces
It’s time to get your verandas, decks, and patios ready for summer barbecues and relaxing evenings.
- Clear Out Cobwebs: Spiders get busy over winter. Clear away all cobwebs from eaves, under outdoor furniture, and around window frames.
- Wash Outdoor Furniture: Give your outdoor settings a good wash down to remove dust and dirt.
- Consider a Pressure Clean: For stubborn grime on driveways and paved areas, a professional pressure wash can make a world of difference.
4. Tackle the Big “Once-a-Year” Indoor Jobs
Now is the time for the big tasks that reset your main living areas.
- Kitchen Deep Clean: Degrease the oven and rangehood, wipe out all kitchen cupboards, and clean behind the fridge.
- Bathroom Blitz: Scrub the grout, deep clean the shower screen to remove soap scum, and clean out exhaust fans.
