There’s something wonderfully satisfying about a proper spring clean - flinging open the windows, letting in the fresh air, and giving your home a well-deserved refresh. At Marsden & Whittle, we believe that cleaning isn’t just about tidying up - it’s about creating a space that feels calm, elegant, and beautifully fragranced.
Whether you’re tackling one room at a time or going all in, here are 10 top tips to elevate your spring clean this season.
1. Start with a plan
Before you lift a duster, take a moment to make a list. Identify the areas that need the most attention and set realistic goals. Breaking your clean-up into manageable chunks makes it feel less overwhelming - and far more satisfying.
2. Declutter with purpose
Spring is the perfect time to reassess what you truly need and love. If it doesn’t spark joy (thanks, Marie Kondo), donate or recycle it. A clutter-free home instantly feels lighter, cleaner, and more luxurious.
3. Open the windows
It might sound simple, but fresh air is one of the most underrated luxuries. Ventilate each room to banish stale winter air and prepare your space for a fresh new scent.
4. Dust from top to bottom
Start with ceilings, light fixtures and shelves, and work your way down. This stops dust from settling on already-cleaned areas and keeps things efficient.
5. Deep clean soft furnishings
Curtains, cushions and throws can trap dust and odours. Give them a good wash or steam-clean. Not only will your home look fresher, but it’ll smell divine when paired with your favourite home fragrance.
6. Refresh your reed diffusers
Spring is an ideal time to swap out rich winter scents for something lighter and more uplifting. Try florals, citrus, or fresh linen-inspired fragrances to match the season. (Explore our fragrances to find your perfect scent.)
7. Don’t forget the forgotten spots
Handles, light switches, skirting boards - these often-overlooked areas can harbour grime. A quick wipe makes a big difference to how clean your space feels overall.
8. Organise with intention
Storage can be beautiful and practical. Invest in elegant baskets, trays or glass jars to store essentials in plain sight - particularly in the bathroom or kitchen.
9. Bring in greenery
A few houseplants or fresh spring flowers breathe life into a room. They pair perfectly with natural scents and make your space feel instantly more refined.
10. Finish with fragrance
The final touch? A signature scent. Whether it’s a softly-scented candle or a reed diffuser placed by the door, home fragrance is the secret to making your clean home feel truly finished. It’s the detail people remember - and the one you’ll enjoy every time you walk through the door.
