Because time marches ever onward, 2025 is almost here. If you're setting a resolution to keep your home in better shape, congrats on the big step. Even if you're not, there are some cleaning tasks that should be dealt with as the new year rolls in. Some are annual, some are habit-building, and some are useful for the winter months. Here's your checklist of everything to clean to kick off 2025.
When it comes to keeping the house organized, there are some key rules to keep in mind: Similar items need to be stored together and everything you own must have a designated place. Putting non-seasonal items together and out of the way frees up your access to what you actually need at any given time of year. Doing this as the first step of your New Year's cleaning routine sets you up well for the rest of winter. As you're working through this step, don't be afraid to truly declutter, either. Use whatever decluttering method works best for you to really assess everything you're putting away. While fall is still fresh in your mind, think critically and objectively about what you used, what you didn't use, and what could actually stand to be tossed or donated so it doesn't take up unnecessary storage space.
Clean your radiator, if you haven't
If you didn't do your fans and vents yet, either, it's time. For all air purifiers and fans, pop out the filter and give them a good cleaning per manufacturer instructions. With the machine unplugged, wipe down the exterior with soapy water and let it dry fully before plugging it back in or, in the case of box fans, putting them in storage for the winter. While you're at it, use the same methods from the radiator cleaning to clean out any built-in vents, including those on baseboards and in ceilings like the bathroom. This isn't an all-the-time cleaning duty, so prioritize it during your New Year's sprint.
Thoroughly clean all appliances, pulling them out from the wall and vacuuming behind them before embarking on a deep clean of the interior.
As mentioned, clean vents and air ducts, but call a pro for an inspection if you haven't had one in the last three years.
Clean inside all your windows, like between panes, screens, and sliding tracks (but wait for spring cleaning if it's too cold where you live to justify opening them).
This is also a time to tackle the things you should be doing a little more frequently than annually, but never seem to come up during regular weekly cleanings. I'm talking wiping your baseboards and walls, dusting your blinds, and sanitizing high-touch surfaces like light switches and remotes.
Prepare for a cleaner year
Set an intention to create and stick to a schedule as one of your New Year's resolutions, then make sure you follow through. It's a lot easier to clean in small increments without getting overwhelmed than it is to dedicate entire days or weeks to fixing up a space that's gotten out of hand.
