Sure there are moments throughout the year when we tidy and spruce up certain areas of our homes, but there’s nothing like a deep clean after winter. Follow a spring cleaning checklist to help your home reach orderly heaven.

The seasonal ritual goes beyond a bit of vacuuming and mopping and feels more like a physical detox. This is the moment to let go of items in your closet that you’ve never worn before and dig deep in that kitchen pantry for any expired spices and seasonings. Once the clutter is gone, it’s time to do some The Home Edit-level organizing. Bins and baskets—like Serena and Lily’s rattan holders and The Container Store’s stackable crates—will ensure all odds and ends have a neatly organized home.

A spring cleaning is also the time to upgrade your detergents and products with plant-derived formulas made without harsh chemicals. Common Good’s lavender bathroom cleaner and Honest’s grapefruit dish soap are both on our shopping list. If you’re really serious about upgrading your cleaning routine, reusable paper towels by Papaya and Samsung’s robot mop will take your cleaning routine to the next level.

Here, things to add to your spring cleaning checklist and 28 of our favorite essentials to shop now.
