Google searches for “spring cleaning hacks” and “spring cleaning checklist” are spiking as people look for the most efficient ways to refresh their spaces. From deep-cleaning to decluttering, here are eight ways Gemini can help you tidy up.
1. Generate a personalized cleaning checklist
Kickstart your cleaning session by asking Gemini to build a customized checklist tailored specifically to your floor plan and lifestyle. Instead of a generic list, ask something like, “How can I organize my studio apartment to feel more open?” or “Create a room-by-room decluttering schedule for a busy family in a two-story home.”
2. Audit your clutter
Sometimes you might be too close to the mess to see the solution. Upload a picture of a cluttered drawer or closet and ask Gemini for spatial suggestions like, “How can I maximize this vertical space?”
3. Clear your refrigerator
Reduce food waste and declutter your fridge by panning your camera across your shelves with Gemini Live. Instead of tossing mystery ingredients, simply ask, “What can I make with these leftovers?” Gemini will identify what you have and talk you through recipe ideas, helping you clear space while creating a delicious meal.
4. Troubleshoot home repairs
Don't let a plumbing problem or broken dishwasher stall your cleaning momentum. Instead of hunting for a lost paper manual or scrolling through endless PDFs, open your camera and ask Gemini Live, “What am I looking at and how do I fix it?” It will help identify the issue and act as your personal repair coach.
5. Streamline your supply run
Use Ask Maps to simplify your errands and discover new places to go. You can ask, “Where can I drop off donation items on my way to work?” or “Find eco-friendly cleaning supplies on my way home.” Ask Maps will find nearby options along your route, factoring in real-time traffic and the store’s busiest times to help you avoid delays. You’ll also see insider tips like what items stores accept for donation and other products available for purchase.
6. Refresh your rooms
Forget endless paint swatching or waiting weeks to see how a new couch might look in your space. If you want to turn a fresh page with a home makeover, let Nano Banana remove the guesswork. Upload a photo of a room, then ask Nano Banana to paint the walls a new color, place a sofa near the window, add bookshelves or show a brighter rug. Gemini works alongside you to only alter the parts of the photo you want to change and preserve the rest.
7. Grow brighter, greener plants
When indoor plants are drooping, identifying the root cause can be tough. Too much light or too little? Too much water or not enough? It can be confusing enough to make you want to get rid of the plant altogether. Instead, use Gemini Live to show your plant and its surrounding environment. Gemini can suggest where to position your leafy roommate for optimal light and teach you how to test for overwatering. You can even revisit the chat a week later to see how things have improved.
8. Declutter your inbox
You can use Gemini in Gmail to quickly summarize long, messy email threads and to find what matters, or ask Gemini to locate specific details from months ago — like a receipt — without manually digging through thousands of messages. Plus, if you’re an Ultra Subscriber in the U.S., you can opt into AI Inbox, which shows you to-dos and topics that matter most all in one place.
If your physical space isn't the only thing that needs a reset, Ultra Subscribers in the U.S can also use Agent Mode in Gemini for inbox decluttering.
Just ask it to "help organize my inbox," and it will create a plan with smart actions like archiving clutter or creating tasks from reminders that you can approve with a simple click.
Done. Just one step more.
