The Ultimate Spring Cleaning Checklist for Saskatoon Homes
After six months of sealed-up winter living, Saskatoon homes have built up a year's worth of dust, salt residue from boots, and that grey film on every window. Spring cleaning is the annual reset every home needs. Here's the comprehensive checklist we use professionally — the same one you can use yourself.
Kitchen
- Empty, clean, and reorganize pantry — toss expired items
- Wipe inside cabinets and drawers
- Deep clean oven (inside, racks, glass)
- Pull out fridge, clean coils & behind it
- Deep clean fridge inside, including drip tray
- Clean microwave inside and out
- Degrease range hood and filter
- Descale dishwasher (run with white vinegar)
- Polish stainless steel appliances
- Wipe baseboards and door frames
- Mop floors thoroughly, including under appliances
Bathrooms
- Deep scrub tub, shower, and grout
- De-scale shower head (soak in vinegar overnight)
- Clean exhaust fans
- Wipe inside vanity cabinets
- Polish chrome fixtures

Outside
