Spring cleaning is really about the jobs that don’t make it into the weekly routine. Tackle one room at a time and you’ll get the satisfaction of a genuine reset without a lost weekend.

Bathrooms

Keep it that way
Once your home’s been reset, a recurring fortnightly clean keeps it there with far less effort — build-up never returns, so each visit stays quick.
