No, you cannot replace "towards" with the preposition "to" here. This is because "towards" means in the direction of something, while "to" does not have this meaning. However, you could replace "towards" with another word expressing a similar meaning like "around" or "near". Ex: Go look near the door to see if I left my keys there. Ex: She cleaned around her room.
