Whether you live at the Jersey Shore year-round or you’re opening up your seasonal home, spring cleaning has a unique set of priorities on the coast. Here’s how to tackle it efficiently — and what to call professionals in for.
Start with the Outside
Salt air, winter storms, and humidity take a toll on shore home exteriors. Begin with: pressure washing the siding, decks, and walkways; cleaning windows and screens inside and out; clearing gutters; and inspecting outdoor furniture after winter storage.
Address the Moisture and Mildew Issue
Shore homes are prone to mildew buildup in bathrooms, basements, and anywhere that doesn’t get good airflow in winter. Check bathroom grout, window tracks, under sinks, and basement walls. Treat any mildew immediately before it spreads.
Kitchen Seasonal Reset
If the kitchen has been closed up all winter, start fresh: run the dishwasher empty with a cleaning tablet, clean inside the refrigerator and freezer, run the oven’s self-clean cycle, and wipe down all cabinet interiors for any pest evidence.
HVAC and Air Quality
Replace all HVAC filters — salt air clogs them faster than inland homes. Clean ceiling fans, wipe down vents, and if the home has been closed up, let it air out for a day before deep cleaning to reduce musty odors.
Vacation Rental? Do This Before Your First Guests Arrive
If your Neptune or Asbury Park property is a vacation rental, spring is your most important cleaning of the year. Guests arriving for Memorial Day weekend expect spotless — not dusty-from-winter. A professional deep clean before peak season is essential.
