February is the perfect time to refresh your home. The holidays are over, spring is around the corner, and cooler weather makes deep cleaning more comfortable. A focused monthly reset keeps your home healthier, more organized, and easier to maintain year round.
At 24/25 Cleaners, we help homeowners stay on top of seasonal cleaning needs across Seattle, Bellevue, Los Angeles, and Mission Viejo. Use this ultimate February checklist to tackle winter buildup, improve indoor air quality, and prepare your home for the months ahead.
Why February Cleaning Matters
During winter, homes accumulate dust, moisture, and clutter. Windows stay closed, heating systems run constantly, and dirt gets tracked inside. February is ideal for:
• Removing winter grime
• Reducing allergens and dust
• Refreshing living spaces before spring
• Preventing mold and moisture issues
• Resetting your home after busy holidays
