The Ultimate Spring Cleaning Guide for San Diego Homes

Spring in San Diego is stunning — perfect weather, blooming flowers, and long sunny days. It's also the ideal time to give your home a thorough reset after the winter months. Here's your complete room-by-room spring cleaning guide.

Why Spring Cleaning Matters in San Diego

San Diego's mild winters mean homes don't get the "closed up tight" feeling that colder climates experience. But spring still brings a surge of pollen, coastal allergens, and Santa Ana wind dust that settles into every corner. A thorough spring clean clears the air — literally.

The 3 Things San Diego Homeowners Most Often Skip

1. Window tracks — they fill with pollen, sand, and debris
