The short answer

Strip the bed, vacuum the mattress, rotate it if the maker recommends it, and wash all bedding, including pillows and the duvet if care labels allow. Then dust high to low and vacuum under the bed.

Spring in Ridgefield brings flowering trees along Main Street, near The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, and open windows in homes from the village to Ridgebury and West Mountain. After a winter of closed windows and heavy blankets, the bedroom is ready for a reset.

The bed

  1. Strip everything, including the mattress protector.
  2. Vacuum the mattress top and sides with an upholstery attachment.
  3. Rotate or flip it if the manufacturer recommends it.
  4. Let it air out with the window open while bedding washes.

Bedding

  • Wash sheets, the protector, and pillowcases.
  • Wash pillows and the duvet or comforter if care labels allow.
  • Swap heavy winter blankets for lighter layers, and store winter ones clean and dry.

The room

Dust from high to low: ceiling fan, light fixtures, the tops of dressers and frames, then nightstands and lamps. Wipe switch plates and door handles. Vacuum curtains or wash them if they are washable.

Under the bed

Pull out storage bins, vacuum the floor, and wipe the bins before sliding them back. Dust builds up here more than anywhere else in the room.

Windows

Clean sills, tracks, and interior glass before the windows stay open for the season. Our window cleaning guide has the steps.
