On March 19 we wave goodbye to winter and, with open arms, welcome spring back into our lives. In Indiana, spring brings sunshine, flowers, showers (and even an occasional snow flurry), and it is the perfect time to make sure your home gets a spring makeover.
To some, cleaning sounds tedious and takes away from enjoying the warmer weather. But the warm weather is the excuse you need to open your windows, blast your favorite tunes and get cleaning! ]
What is Spring Cleaning?
Spring cleaning is the idea of starting fresh with the new season. Winter in Indiana is known for being brutal, leaving snow, grime, dirt and a huge mess throughout our yards, garages and homes. That is why when you see the sunshine and warmer weather, it may be a good time to grab your cleaning supplies and your loved ones and begin dusting off for spring.
When is a good time to Start Spring Cleaning?
There is not an exact date to begin spring-cleaning, in fact, you can do it whenever you find time in your schedule. Spring-cleaning can sound like a chore, but the more people you get to help you, the quicker the cleaning goes!
A good time to start is right at the Spring Equinox, but if you’re reading this after March 19th, the rest of March, April or May can still be the perfect time to begin the cleaning process. Spring-cleaning is supposed to be a positive process following the transition of winter to spring. Although you may not feel positive while cleaning the gutters or sweeping the dirt and other residues from the garage floor, take it as a time to start fresh going into the spring of 2024.
Make the process as fun as you want it to be. In fact, make spring-cleaning a party weekend! Choose an upcoming weekend with a clear forecast and plan a weekend spring-cleaning party. Create a playlist, buy snacks and drinks for your cleaning helpers and make it a weekend to enjoy.
