Spring is almost here, and we’re all ready for brighter days, warmer temperatures, and all the enjoyment of the season ahead.
It’s also the best time of the year to give the house a good Spring Cleaning to improve the health of your home and so much more.
In Persian culture, Spring Cleaning can be traced back to about 3000 years ago, when they would practice khaneh tekani, or “shaking the house”. The belief that was that removing clutter and dust would prevent ill fortune from visiting the home in the year to come.
Nowadays, it’s the perfect activity to bring light and life back into the home after a long winter of darker days, closed doors and windows.
What are the benefits of Spring Cleaning?

Removing mold, dust and pet dander that builds up over winter helps to improve respiratory issues and allergies. - Clean house = less stress
Studies have shown that a clean, organized home can reduce stress hormones and lead to a calmer mind. (University of California). - Less clutter = fewer hazards
Reducing clutter reduces the chances of accidents in the home, making it a safer environment for you and your family.
Tips for making this year’s Spring Cleaning easy and effective
Let the sun shine in!
Give your windows a good cleaning to wash the winter “yuck” off them, and then throw them open! Winter weather keeps our homes closed up, trapping moisture, cooking smells and airborne toxins, but spring is the perfect time to open the windows and circulate fresh air into the home. Make it a habit to air out the home this spring, even on the cooler days – even 5 minutes a day can make a difference!
Declutter as you go
Clutter allows more surfaces and spots for dust and dirt to accumulate. By decluttering, you’re keeping space open for air circulation and effective cleaning. Eliminate old clothes and shoes, toys, kitchen gadgets, old personal care products, magazines and other items that you are no longer using.
Dust, dust, dust!
Use an effective duster to dust all surfaces including furniture & fixtures, appliances and even plants, and be sure to give your walls and ceilings a good dusting as well.
