Spring is the season to breathe a new lease of life into your home

Rearranging space, freshening up things that have seen better days, and setting the stage for a more comfortable year ahead. A serious spring clean not only increases curb appeal but also enhances comfort, hygiene, and long-term serviceability. Here are five core spring cleaning ideas, plus a key reminder: consider replacing cushions and mattresses every 7–10 years to keep things fresh and supportive.

Replace Cushions and Mattresses (every 7–10 years)

One of those oft-overlooked but important measures is checking on cushions and mattresses. Over time, the foam in mattresses and sofa or chair cushions degrades, causing them to sag and one’s posture to suffer. Pros recommend replacement every 7-10 years, or sooner if no longer holding their shape. Quality foam inserts by trusted brands, such as The Foam Factory, guarantee durability and comfort that can make replacements or refreshes so much more effective. And don’t skip outdoor cushions-if they appear moldy or worn, outdoor foam replacements will add to their weather resistance.

Deep Clean High-Touch Surfaces

Take spring as the time to address grime on the places you touch most frequently. Wipe down doorknobs, light switches, handles of cabinets, and remote controls. These are places where there might be more germs than you think. A mild disinfectant helps keep your home hygienic and limits the spread of bacteria.

Rearrange Storage Areas

Big impact can come from decluttering and reorganizing closets, cabinets, and garages. Separate items into keep, donate, or discard piles. Use labeled bins, smart shelving, and drawer organizers to keep things at bay all year round. This tidies up physical space and clears mental clutter in the process. 4. Freshen Up Outdoor Spaces As the weather warms, now is the perfect time to get your outdoor living areas ready for relaxation and entertaining. Patios should be cleaned, while outdoor furniture needs a refreshing touch. Cushions should also be inspected; if a cushion is flat, holds water, or mildew is present, replacement with new foam brightens both comfort and appearance. Outdoor foam replacements from The Foam Factory resist water, mold, and UV exposure for long-lasting performance. 5. Upgrade Your Pet’s Essentials Your pet also needs comfort. Renew or replace old toys, disinfect feeding stations, and check out the bed: if the foam has become flat or taken on odors, a switch to high-density mattress foam or custom foam inserts will help your pet sleep better and be healthier. Put briefly, spring cleaning is not just about cleaning up; it’s about renewing your home in preparation for the upcoming year. From replacing cushions and mattresses with good-quality foam to reorganizing storage and refreshing outdoor spaces, such measures can turn your living space into a cleaner, cosier, and friendlier place for all.
