Reasons you should spring clean your home

Reasons you should spring clean your home

Here in Europe, people can’t wait for springtime to roll around the corner. With temperatures dropping annually, winter is becoming more unforgiving and there is nothing like some warmth to improve the mood.   That being said, springtime usually calls for in-depth cleaning to remove the dirt and get some fresh air in your home which will be closed up during the winter. If you are one of those people who tend to skip spring cleaning, here are a few reasons why you should reconsider your decision:

1. Deeper cleaning

Regular house cleaning might be good for general maintenance and aesthetics but, spring cleaning is more in-depth. It requires going through every corner in your house and giving it an extra scrub, wipe or vacuum which in turn, leaves your home looking much cleaner than usual. 

2. It helps you to declutter

During winter, it’s very common to accumulate more things and dirt in your home because it stays closed most of the time. Spring cleaning ensures that all of that unnecessary clutter is removed for a cleaner and more spacious home.

3. More time to clean targeted areas

Have a carpet that needs to be deep cleaned? Spring cleaning is the perfect time to do so. Deeper and cleaner carpet cleaning is easier to do when you have plenty of time to really focus. In general, people set aside special times for spring cleaning and during this time, targeted areas like that dirty carpet can be cleaned thoroughly.

4. It’s the perfect chance to get your family involved

Generally, spring cleaning is no small task and it requires days, maybe even a week or two to carry out. So, this would be the perfect time to get your family involved. You can even enlist your little ones in helping with cleaning smaller areas while covering the more complex spaces yourself. 

There are plenty of other reasons why you should consider spring cleaning but overall, it is good for deep cleaning your home and removing any excess dirt that you accumulate during winter. It’s also a good potential family exercise and can be rewarding both physically and mentally.
