Spring Cleaning Checklist for Brevard

Spring is the perfect time for Brevard County homeowners to tackle the clutter, deep clean every room, and get your property ready for the warm months ahead. Living on the Space Coast comes with unique considerations — from lanai maintenance to hurricane season preparation — so this checklist goes beyond the basics to cover everything a Florida homeowner needs.

The Garage

The garage is often the most cluttered space in any Brevard County home. Years of accumulated tools, holiday decorations, sports equipment, and random items can make it impossible to park your car.

• Pull everything out and sort into keep, donate, sell, and trash piles
• Check for water damage, mold, or pest activity — Florida humidity makes this critical
• Sweep and clean the floor, including corners and behind shelving
• Organize what you keep with shelving, pegboards, and clear bins
• Dispose of expired chemicals, old paint, and automotive fluids properly
• If the discard pile is too large to handle, call us for a pickup

The Kitchen

• Clean out the pantry and discard expired food
• Empty and deep clean the refrigerator and freezer
• Wipe down cabinets inside and out
• Clear countertops of appliances and gadgets you rarely use
• Go through the junk drawer — every kitchen has one
• Donate duplicate utensils, cookware, and small appliances you no longer need

Bedrooms

• Go through closets and drawers — if you have not worn it in a year, it is time to donate or discard
• Rotate or replace mattresses and pillows as needed
• Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, and baseboards
• Clean under beds and furniture
• Sort through nightstand and dresser drawers

Bathrooms

• Discard expired medications, toiletries, and cosmetics
• Deep clean grout, tile, and shower doors
• Check for mold or mildew — especially important in Brevard County's humid climate
• Organize cabinets and drawers
• Replace worn towels and bath mats

The Lanai and Outdoor Living Areas

This is where Florida spring cleaning gets specific. Your lanai, patio, and outdoor areas take a beating from the sun, rain, and humidity.

• Pressure wash the lanai floor, screens, and exterior walls
• Inspect screen enclosures for tears, holes, or frame damage
• Clean and inspect outdoor furniture for rust or mildew
• Remove any clutter, old planters, or broken decor from the lanai area
• Clean and organize outdoor storage closets or sheds

Pool Area

• Remove debris from the pool deck and surrounding area
• Check pool equipment for proper operation before peak swim season
• Clean and organize the pool equipment storage area
• Dispose of old pool chemicals properly
• Pressure wash the pool deck

Hurricane Season Preparation

Spring is the ideal time to start thinking about hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30. Getting your property cleaned up now makes pre-storm preparation much easier.

• Trim trees and remove dead branches that could become projectiles
• Clear your yard of any loose items, debris, or broken structures
• Inspect and clean hurricane shutters or impact windows
• Check your roof for loose tiles or shingles
• Have your AC system serviced before the summer heat and storms arrive
• Identify items around your property that should be secured or removed before a storm
