1. Declutter Your Space🧹
Spring cleaning isn’t just about dusting and mopping – it’s the perfect opportunity to declutter your park home. Take the time to go through each room and get rid of items you no longer need. This will create a more open and organised living space.
·Tip: Sort your items into “keep,” “donate,” and “discard” piles.
·Bonus: Consider donating gently used items to local charities or hosting a car boot sale to make some extra cash!
2. Deep Clean Your Carpets and Floors🧽
After a long winter, your carpets and floors could use a deep clean. If you have carpets, vacuum thoroughly and consider hiring a professional to give them a deep clean. For hardwood, laminate, or vinyl floors, mop and polish them to restore their shine.
· Tip: Pay special attention to high-traffic areas and corners where dirt tends to collect.
· Bonus: Use a mild cleaner to preserve your floors’ finish and avoid harsh chemicals.
3. Wash Windows and Clean Blinds🪟
Spring is a great time to let the sunshine into your park home. Clean your windows inside and out to remove dirt, grime, and streaks. Don’t forget about your blinds or curtains – wash or dust them to freshen up the space.
· Tip: Use a mixture of water and vinegar to clean windows naturally and leave them streak-free.
· Bonus: Take a soft cloth and dust the windowsills as well to prevent build-up.
4. Check Your Roof and Gutters🍂🍃
Spring is an ideal time to inspect your roof for any damage caused by winter weather. Look for missing tiles, leaks, or any damage around
vents. Clean out your gutters to ensure rainwater flows freely and doesn’t cause any damage to your home.

· Bonus: Clear debris from around the base of your home to prevent water build-up near the foundation.
5. Inspect the Exterior Render and Cladding🔨
Check your park home’s exterior for signs of wear and tear, especially after the colder months. Look for any cracks, gaps, or areas where paint may have chipped. Reapply caulking around windows, doors, and vents to keep pests and weather out.
· Tip: Use a bucket of warm soapy water and a sponge on render or a pressure washer to clean cladding and remove dirt that may have built up.
· Bonus: Touch up any areas of paint that need refreshing to maintain your home’s kerb appeal.
6. Check Plumbing and Taps🚿
Inspect your plumbing for any leaks or signs of wear. Check under sinks, around pipes, and in bathrooms to ensure everything is functioning well. Make sure your taps are running smoothly and there are no blockages in the drains.

· Bonus: Run water through your outdoor taps to ensure they’re ready for any gardening or outdoor projects.
7. Inspect Electrical Systems⚡
Regularly checking your park home’s electrical systems is crucial to ensure safety and efficiency. Look for any frayed wires, loose connections, or outdated electrical panels that might need attention. It’s a good idea to test all light switches and outlets, ensuring they operate properly and there are no signs of overheating. Having a qualified electrician perform an annual inspection can help prevent potential hazards and keep your home’s electrical system in top condition.
