Spring clean!

Spring is a time of promise, a time of rebirth, renewal and a time to clean!

Deep cleaning is hugely important for the air quality in your home, especially if anyone living there suffers with allergies. It lightens the load on our immune systems, removing dust, dander, mould and who knows what variety of microbes. So, when you catch that Spring in the air throw open the windows wide and start your plan of attack.

Begin with ‘things’. Identify the clutter or ‘visual noise’, then sort into piles – to donate, dispose of or store. Next, dust, from ceiling to floor, using a hoover with a brush attachment where you can and a slightly damp cloth to avoid simply displacing the particles!

Alongside elbow grease and hot water there are some great products without harmful ingredients to make the jobs easier and actually more enjoyable. Our member stores stock a number of ranges that help remove limescale deposits around bathroom taps, break up the film of greasy dust.

Catch a good day for drying and get any couch throws, cushion covers and curtains etc (if care label allows) into the washing machine and out into the fresh air.

After skirting boards, clean the corners and edges of your floor and then the rest. Carpets, rugs and upholstery can be freshened up by sprinkling liberally with bread soda, brush in with a stiff brush (and leave overnight if possible) before hoovering thoroughly. Windows can be washed, inside and out, but on a dull day remember.

When you are in the swing of it you are guaranteed to notice how good you feel because Spring cleaning is also beneficial for mental health – a cluttered house is a cluttered mind, after all. The process of cleaning and decluttering and living in a clean house are known to be associated with lower rates of anxiety and depression.

If you have a lot of cleaning to do and feel overwhelmed you can make a list, choose one task when you have 15 minutes spare, and set a stopwatch. Knowing you are only giving it 15 minutes tends to make you super-efficient and focused.

And yes, we can do this kind of cleaning throughout the year, unlike years ago where smoky fires were the main source of heat, leaving a sooty layer on everything after the cold of winter. But there is something still about rowing in with the seasons, shaking off the old and embracing the newness of this time of year. It taps into our neural pathways as the sap rises and we emerge out from the slumber of winter into the crisp, clean freshness of spring.
