Spring Cleaning Perth: The Complete Room-by-Room Checklist

Perth's spring — September to November — is the ideal time for a thorough house clean before summer entertaining season. Here's a room-by-room checklist and tips for getting your home genuinely fresh.

Bathrooms & Laundry

Descale shower head and taps. Re-grout or reseal around bath and shower if needed. Clean exhaust fan cover. Wash shower curtain or clean glass screens with lime remover. Clean laundry tubs and inspect washing machine seals. Wipe behind toilet and around base.

Bedrooms

Rotate and vacuum mattresses. Wash doonas, pillows, and mattress protectors. Wipe skirting boards. Vacuum under beds. Clean curtains or blinds.

Living Areas

Dust ceiling fans and light fittings. Clean windows inside and out. Condition leather furniture. Steam clean carpets or deep-clean rugs. Wipe all air conditioning filters.

Exterior & Garage

When to Hire a Professional Spring Cleaner

If you don't have a full day (or weekend) to invest, hiring a professional house cleaning team for a deep clean typically costs $300–$800 for a 3–4 bedroom Perth home. Many people do this annually and maintain it with regular fortnightly cleans.
