The fourth Sunday in March each year marks the beginning of National Cleaning Week.
National Cleaning Week
Spring is the most popular time for giving your home a deep cleaning. It has become a time-honored tradition going back to ancient times and has both religious and practical significance. Thus, having a 'cleaning week' to celebrate in March – the start of Spring, and the times of Passover and Holy Week – makes a lot of sense.
The cleaning (and cleaning products) industries have been celebrating National Cleaning Week for a long time. Over a hundred years ago, Johnson & Johnson once ran an advertising campaign to encourage people to clean their homes. Today this 'Spring cleaning time' is even recognized by several state governments.
Our homes are not the only places that benefit from Spring Cleaning. We are even encouraged to use this time to clean out our computers, weed out our filing cabinets at home and at the office, declutter closets and storage bins, and even the kid's toy boxes. It can be very satisfying to see the end result of a thorough cleaning.
Many books have been written on the subject of cleaning and decluttering, including a couple that have been reviewed here on ReviewThisReviews! such as:
Additionally, there are uncounted number of websites and blogs online which will give you tips and tricks to aid in your cleaning chores. Some nationally known brands include:
- Best Cleaning Tips 2024 by Good Housecleaning
- How to Declutter Your Home Without the Hassle by Glad
- How to Deep Clean Your House by Woman's Day
And, for those who prefer their housecleaning tips in video form, You Tube is invaluable.
Summary
So, begin your Spring Cleaning during National Cleaning Week by gathering those cleaning tips you need, then put on some old clothes, get out those sorting boxes, cleaning products, brooms, mops and rags.... and GO! Your house will love you for it.
