How to Declutter & Organise Your Home

In need of some spring cleaning tips to help with decluttering your home? Look no further. From house spring cleaning how-to’s to everyday hacks, this spring cleaning guide will help you get things sparkling in no time. Who doesn’t love the feeling of a fresh kitchen, a sparkling bathroom and an organised bedroom that’s been tidied, polished and perfected? We do, and we’ve got the home cleaning products and home storage solutions to make it happen.

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your space, clear out the clutter and embrace a tidier, more organised lifestyle. Whether you’re tackling a full house spring cleaning or just looking for practical spring cleaning ideas, having a plan will make the process much smoother. The key to a successful deep clean isn’t just about scrubbing and dusting – it’s about setting yourself up for an easier, more efficient routine moving forward. And that’s where a proper spring cleaning checklist comes in handy.

Out with the old…

You’re probably thinking: ‘where do I even start when it comes to organising my home and tidying my house?’ Well, first things first – decluttering your home is the best place to start. A clutter-free space isn’t just more visually appealing; it also makes cleaning and organising a doddle. We know, it’s (much) easier said than done but if you’re struggling to part ways with that dodgy toothbrush holder or the mountain of clothes you haven’t worn in years, ask yourself these three questions:

Is it beautiful or useful?
No need to throw out things that serve a purpose. Sure, you might have 20 saucepans but if you actually use them, shantay they stay. Some things are just there to look pretty (us included), and that’s okay – so long as they don’t contribute to unnecessary clutter.

Does it bring me happiness?
That tacky souvenir from your gap year in Thailand may not be stylish, but if it sparks joy, it can stay. On the flip side, the frog ornament from your mother-in-law that you’ve secretly always hated? That can hop on out forever.

Have I got lots (or too many) of them?
Do you really need 20 pairs of jeans? Really? When was the last time you wore them all? Home organisation is all about streamlining – less mess, less stress. Reducing excess doesn’t mean sacrificing things you love, but rather making room for the things that truly matter.

Time for a tidy?

Now that the clutter is gone, it’s time to focus on tidying the home. This is where organisation comes into play. House spring cleaning isn’t just about throwing things away – it’s also about creating systems that will keep your home looking good long after you’ve finished.

Whichever room you’re tackling, we’ve got the spring cleaning checklist 2025 to make it a breeze. Breaking the process down into manageable steps will help keep the overwhelm at bay.

Clean that kitchen

The kitchen is often the heart of the home, but it can also be a hotspot for mess and clutter. Start by binning anything past its sell-by date. That dusty spice jar at the back of the cupboard? You’re never going to use it, so why keep it? Then sort out your cupboards – put like with like (teas in one, glasses in another). A well-organised kitchen makes meal prep and daily routines so much smoother.

Blitz your bathroom

Get that toilet cleaner tucked out of sight – it’s just not chic, darling. No bathroom cupboards? No problem. Home storage solutions like freestanding drawers or storage boxes will keep things neat.

Beautify the bedroom

The bedroom should be a haven, not a hurricane. So if yours looks like a bomb hit it, it’s time to start some overdue home organisation. Use under-bed boxes for hidden storage and over-the-door hooks to free up floor space. Investing in practical home storage solutions can transform your bedroom into a relaxing space where you can truly unwind.

So fresh and so clean

Once you’ve managed to declutter your home, it’s time to scrub and spritz. Here’s how to nail the tricky bits and make your home feel brand new.

Refresh your furniture

From pongy pups to takeaways – armchairs and sofas absorb all sorts of smells over time. A fabric freshener is your best friend when it comes to eliminating odours and keeping your furniture fresh. If you have the time, giving cushions and throws a wash every so often will make an even bigger difference.

Freshen up your floors

Don’t forget the floors! Whether you have carpets, wooden floors or tiles, giving them a proper clean makes a huge impact. Hoover, mop, then protect them with natural oils to keep them looking their best. That goes double if you’ve got gorgeous flooring and would like to keep it that way – this small step will help maintain it for years to come.

Tackle the fridge

‘This is my favourite job’ said no-one, ever. But it has to be done. Start by taking everything out and washing shelves and drawers with warm, soapy water. Then spritz the inside with an antibacterial spray and wipe it down before putting everything back in an organised way. Cleanliness is the goal but a tidy fridge also makes meal planning so much easier.

Organising my home for the long haul

Now that you’re getting the hang of it, it’s time to think about keeping things tidy in the long run. Having a proper system in place will prevent your home from slipping back into chaos. Investing in smart storage solutions, maintaining a cleaning routine and doing small daily tidy-ups will make all the difference.

When learning how to organise a house, a little effort goes a long way. Keep a regular decluttering schedule. Every season, do a mini clear-out to prevent things from building up again. Assigning a specific place for everything will also help maintain order and prevent unnecessary mess.

Get the glow

Lighting plays a huge role in setting the mood of a space. Cosy lamps, scented candles and incense sticks can create a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes your home feel even more relaxing. Soft lighting transforms even the most minimal space into a sanctuary.
