As the weather warms up and flowers start to bloom 🌷, it’s the perfect time to freshen up your home with a good ol’ fashioned spring cleaning. At Generations Custom Homes, we believe that a well-maintained home is a happy home — and there’s nothing like that crisp, clean feeling when every room sparkles. ✨

Whether you live in a newly built custom home or have been enjoying your dream space for years, here are some pro tips and clever hacks to make this year’s spring clean your best one yet.

🧽 1. Start with a Spring Strategy

Before diving into the dust bunnies, make a game plan:

Room-by-room checklist: Focus on one room at a time. Overwhelm = avoided.
Set a timer ⏱️: 20-30 minute intervals keep the momentum without burnout.
Create a donate/sell/toss pile: Minimalism is in, clutter is out.

🔑 Custom home tip: Built-in storage from Generations Custom Homes makes organizing a breeze. Use those custom cabinets and closets to their full potential!

🌬️ 2. Don’t Forget Air Vents & Filters

This one’s often forgotten but makes a huge difference in air quality:

Remove and wash vent covers.
Replace air filters — your HVAC system will thank you.
Vacuum ducts if accessible (or call in the pros).

🌿 Eco-hack: Add a drop of essential oil to your filter for a light, natural scent throughout your home.

🪞 3. Shine Up the Forgotten Zones

Some spots are out of sight and out of mind — until spring!

Baseboards and crown molding 🧹
Behind appliances (hello, dust colonies!)
Ceiling fans and light fixtures 💡

✨ Designer detail: In a custom-built home, details matter. Keeping your finishes polished helps your home shine the way it was meant to.

🧼 4. DIY Natural Cleaners That Actually Work

Ditch the harsh chemicals! Mix up these eco-friendly solutions:

Glass cleaner: 1 part vinegar + 1 part water = streak-free shine.
All-purpose scrub: Baking soda + a splash of water for sinks and tile.
Wood polish: Olive oil + lemon juice.

🧴 Custom care tip: Always test natural cleaners on a small area of your high-end finishes to keep them looking pristine.

🧺 5. Out-of-the-Box Hacks You’ll Love

Here’s where it gets fun:

Use a lint roller on lampshades and fabric headboards.
Dryer sheets to wipe baseboards — it repels dust!
Old pillowcases for fan blades — traps dust before it falls.
Socks over hands for blind slats and hard-to-reach corners.

🧠 Hack genius: These quick tricks save time and keep your custom luxury home looking model-home ready.
