Warmer Weather...Time for Spring Cleaning
During the 1800s in America, March was the best time for dusting because it was getting warmer outside, and you could open the windows and doors to help clear out the dust from your home. This was an ideal time for some spring cleaning. Also, spring was the perfect time for cleaning before the insects became unbearable during the warmer summer months.
Today, the benefits for allergy sufferers from a thorough spring cleaning are very clear. The air inside your home is about ten times dirtier that the air outside. Allergens have been building up in your home all winter. This time of year is perfect to open up the windows some and do your cleaning. Make the process fun and enjoyable by focusing on how much better you will breathe and feel when it’s over! On our web site, we have a detailed cleaning plan, but here is a quick checklist to follow:
