With the spring season on our doors and the temperature being more forgiving, we found ourselves at the favorite time of year for the famous “spring cleaning”. But how did this tradition begin? The cleaning term “Spring” started between the years 1855 to 1860, but the act of cleaning the spring started much earlier. It is a cultural tradition with adults all over the world.
Some claim that the practice of deep-cleaning houses finds its roots in Hebrew culture, with religious significance. Others claim that spring cleansing originated in Iran, others claim that this cleansing ritual started in Greece, and Orthodox cultures, out of the Jews of Egypt and China also make a complaint, as a way of marking the Year New. Others provide a more logical scientific explanation of why we have a cleanup.
Do so many different cultures embark on rituals and celebrations that involve spring cleaning because, at this time of year, it is simply the best time to freshen and clean your home? Spring cleaning started as a way to clean up after long winters, since the houses were heated by fire, and the doors were kept closed to keep the air warm. That, of course, smoke was building up and dirt was building up during the cold months. Nowadays, with modern and heated houses, this type of cleaning is no longer necessary. Today’s cleaning has taken on a more philosophical meaning, cleaning the house can bring peace of mind and balance in everyday life, shared by ordinary people, keeping the environment clean and organized is to have your energies always renewed.
For all those who like to take care of, organize and refresh the house this is also the ideal occasion to renew the environment, making it more colorful and cheerful. To help you keep your home beautiful and tidy this spring season.
We can think that in the current times, it is less important to talk about decoration with everything that is happening in the world. However, making your home a place of peace and joy during that time is even more important now than ever! What we do at home is what matters.
Why is “Spring Cleaning” so important?
Productivity: Organizing your home saves time daily.
Happiness: Clean homes make people happier, and cleanliness can give you a feeling of satisfaction.
Good Spring Cleaning!
