About 275 Hawke's Bay people hurt themselves while spring cleaning last year, ACC figures show.
This was revealed by ACC claims including the words "clean", "gutter", "ladder" or "broom".
Those claims cost $252,339 last year.
ACC senior media adviser Stephanie Melville said ACC sourced the data by searching accident descriptions for the key words. The level of detail provided for accident descriptions could vary greatly and there were likely to be related claims that had not been captured, she said.
The most common spring cleaning injuries were related to loss of balance and the most common injury diagnosis was soft tissue damage.
