We believe Spring cleaning is a solid investment in your health & happiness.

What’s the history behind Spring Cleaning?

According to Wikipedia, “Some researchers trace the origin of spring cleaning to the Iranian Nowruz, the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring. Iranians continue the practice of “khooneh tekouni” which literally means “shaking the house” just before the Persian new year. Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture.”

I mean, you all know that excited feeling when you can finally open your windows and breath in the fresh air without fearing frostbite, right? Along with that feeling you may also hear the little cleaning elf on your shoulder whispering it’s time to start the dusting and washing. Don’t worry, it’s totally normal.

Spring cleaning is a behaviour practiced around the world. And we have personally seen the benefits on the faces of those people who practice it. However, Spring cleaning is not always top of the priority list as the weather improves, but you can change that if you want to.

This tradition means starting off new which is aligned with the renewal of nature. Because it has become part of our culture, everybody has a good feeling about it and that might be the reason that everyone likes to participate in it. In my opinion and based on my experience, we get energized and feel/think more positively after the cleaning. – Negin Hematlooeian
