How to spring clean the hallway – get our free cleaning checklist and have your hallway clean, organised and super welcoming in no time.

The hallway is the first place you see when you open the door to your home. A good spring clean will have it freshened up, sparkling clean and looking welcoming in no time at all.

Nobody wants to come home to piles of shoes, bags and junk littering the entrance way. Our spring cleaning checklist will get you through the clean up quickly and efficiently.

I do prefer the more natural cleaning products where possible, especially in family homes. They also tend to smell much nicer.

Again you'll need to set aside either a morning or an afternoon to give the hall a good spring clean.As always when spring cleaning, get the windows open wide and the music loud. Makes it so much better.

Things You'll Need To Spring Clean The Hallway

Cleaning supplies you'll need to deep clean the hallway

Cleaning cloths - we use microfiber cloths

Surface cleaner - I like Method Multi-Surface Cleaner in French Lavender it smells divine and you can clean most surfaces with it.

How To Spring Clean The Hallway

Step by step instructions for spring cleaning the hallway

Clean light fixtures and fittings, dust light bulbs.

Dust cornice and ceiling features, use a long handled feather duster to do this and to knock down any dusty cobwebs that might be hanging about. If you have ceiling fans clean these now.

Windows - clean window dressings and drapes or curtains (either wash in the washing machine or dry clean, depending on label instructions), vacuum and wipe down blinds, vacuum window vents, wash the windows, I use the natural homemade window cleaner for this job. Finally clean the windowsills.

Cupboards and shelves - if you're lucky enough to have space in the hall for cupboards. Get out all the contents, go through them and sort out what is still wanted. Throw/give away or sell any unwanted items. Clean the inside and outside of the cupboards and put back all the things that you are keeping. Arrange them so that frequently used items are easy to access.

Declutter and clean all surfaces. Use spray cleaner or polish to clean surfaces. (use specialist polish for wooden furniture to clean and protect it) Be sure to clean the radiator too - here's how to clean a radiator

Clean light switches and door handles

Vacuum the light shades and clean lamp bases.
