As the snow melts and fresh air fills our homes, spring is the perfect time to reset and refresh — not just for the space around us, but for our health and well-being, too. For caregivers, a thoughtful spring clean can make a meaningful difference in the comfort, safety, and peace of mind of those we care for.
Here’s a helpful spring cleaning checklist tailored for caregivers:
- Declutter living spaces to open up safe pathways.
- Wipe down high-touch surfaces like door handles, remotes, and light switches.
- Wash or replace bedding, curtains, and other soft furnishings.
- Review and organize medications, safely disposing of expired items.
- Test smoke detectors and replace batteries.
Why decluttering matters:
A tidy space isn’t just visually pleasing — it lowers anxiety, improves air quality, reduces fall risks, and even supports better sleep. It’s an act of care that offers lasting benefits.
Tips to make spring cleaning easier:
- Tackle one task at a time — slow and steady wins the race.
- If possible, include your loved one in the process — it can be a fun and empowering way to connect.
- Use a checklist to stay on track without feeling overwhelmed.
- Celebrate progress, no matter how small. Every bit counts!
A clean space is a calm space — and a healthy one, too.
