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.
