Spring-to-Summer Reset: Simple Ways to Refresh Your Home for the Season

Spring-to-Summer Reset: Simple Ways to Refresh Your Home for the Season - Humble Suds

As spring fades and summer approaches, our homes and our energy can start to feel a little... cluttered. Heavy blankets, stale air, cluttered corners, and that sticky cabinet you've been ignoring since February? Yup, we’ve been there.

That’s why we love the idea of a Spring-to-Summer Reset. It’s not about scrubbing every baseboard or chasing perfection. It’s about creating space—for sunlight, for summer meals, for breathing a little easier.

Here’s how to gently (but effectively) refresh your home and routine for the sunny days ahead.

Indoor Reset: Start Where You Live

  • Let the air in. Open windows on mild days and let the fresh air sweep out winter's heaviness.

  • Clean the fridge and freezer. Make room for produce, popsicles, and picnic leftovers.

  • Swap bedding. Store heavy duvets and bring out lightweight linens. Your sleep will thank you. Place a jar of baking soda in the laundry closet to keep odors at bay.

  • Flip mattresses. Bonus points for sprinkling with baking soda and vacuuming before flipping.

  • Wash the shower curtain. It’s probably overdue.

  • Declutter surfaces. Stash the stuff you don’t need in summer. Out with mittens, in with sun hats.

Laundry & Soft Surfaces

  • Air out throw blankets and pillows. Sunlight is nature’s original deodorizer.

  • Deep clean your washer. Wipe down the drum and dispenser, especially if you’ve been washing heavy winter layers. And, toss in a Miracle Cleaning Bomb for good measure.

  • Restock the basics. Humble Suds Laundry Soap, Illuminate, and Dryer Balls keep things clean without compromise.

Outdoor Readiness

  • Scrub down patio furniture + cushions.    Try our All-Purpose Cleaner for natural, streak-free results on glass and non-cloth furnishings, and Revival to breathe life into your wood pieces.

  • Sanitize coolers + wipe down the grill.   Illuminate works wonders on food contact surfaces.

  • Wash windows. Inside and out if you can.

  • Sweep porches and wipe down doors. Give your doormat a fresh beating.

  • Check garden beds. Weed, refresh mulch, or plant a few summer herbs.

  • Inspect window screens. Better to catch tears now than after the bugs arrive.

Entryway & Daily Flow Reset

  • Swap boots for sandals. Pack up winter gear to make space for pool bags and picnic baskets.

  • Refresh your entry station. Sunscreen, bug spray, and sunglasses all in one easy-access place.

  • Lighten up. Swap out your pillow coverings for a summery vibe (if you have them). Add a citrus diffuser or a vase of fresh herbs or flowers.

Wellness & Routine Refresh

  • Replace your A/C filter. Clean air = calm home.

  • Allergy-proof a bedroom. Wash bedding weekly, vacuum often, and consider an air purifier.

  • Declutter your digital space. Clean out your inbox, photos, and apps.

  • Restock your clean first-aid kit. Aloe, SPF, non-toxic bug spray, and your go-to natural remedies.
