The ultimate Easter cleaning checklist

Easter is more than just chocolate eggs and family lunches—it’s also the perfect time to give your home a much-needed refresh. The long weekend offers a rare chance to hit pause, clear the clutter, and get your space in order before the colder months roll in. Whether you’re hosting guests or simply craving a fresh start, our Easter cleaning checklist has everything you need to tackle the job with ease.

Here’s your room-by-room guide to getting your home sparkling, without the overwhelm:

Kitchen 🍽️

Let’s start with the heart of the home—especially if you’re cooking up a storm this Easter.

  • Clean out the fridge and freezer (yes, those mystery containers too).
  • Wipe down cupboard doors and kitchen tiles.
  • Degrease the oven and stovetop.
  • Disinfect countertops and high-touch surfaces.
  • Take out recycling and clear food waste bins.

Living Room 🛋️

Your chill space deserves to feel just that—chilled. Here’s how:

  • Dust all surfaces, especially forgotten corners and light fixtures.
  • Vacuum and rotate couch cushions.
  • Wipe remotes, electronics, and coffee tables.
  • Clean windows and let that Autumn light in.
  • Swap out summer throws for cosier textures.

Bedrooms 🛏️

A tidy room = better sleep. Make it feel like a mini retreat.

  • Change bedding and flip the mattress.
  • Dust shelves, bedside lamps, and mirrors.
  • Organise wardrobes—pack away summer clothes.
  • Wipe down door handles and light switches.
  • Add a calming scent with linen spray or candles.

Bathroom 🚿

Quick, fresh, and functional—just like it should be.

  • Scrub the toilet, sink, and shower.
  • Wash bathroom mats and towels.
  • Refill essentials like soap, toilet paper, and toothpaste.
  • Clean mirrors and tiles for that sparkle factor.
  • Empty and organise bathroom cupboards.

Bonus Areas 🎯

Don’t forget those “I’ll get to it later” zones.

  • Entryways: Sweep and wipe down surfaces.
  • Laundry: Clean machines, sort detergents, clear lint traps.
  • Outdoor: Sweep patios, tidy the garden, clean outdoor furniture.
