Why Does Spring Cleaning Feel Good?

Spring is all about new beginnings. And with your home often pulling double or triple duty as an office, playground, and living space, now is the perfect time to refresh and renew both your physical and emotional environments.

Refresh, Renew, Reset!

Spring cleaning provides a much-needed opportunity to reset after a long winter. Not many people truly love to clean, but almost everyone enjoys the feeling of accomplishment that comes with a good decluttering—spring cleaning gives us a chance to clear our minds as well as our homes!

Besides sparkling countertops and pine-fresh scents, resetting your space can help reduce stress, lighten your mood, and even improve your focus. Being productive feels more possible in a newly organized, freshly sanitized space—and getting started is often the hardest part!

Spring Cleaning Kickoff

Pick one area of your home to tackle first. Want to finally organize your long-cluttered garage? How about clearing patio knickknacks to create a cozy spot for Sunday brunch? Maybe your backyard would look even better with a dedicated place to store your yard tools?

Once one area is complete, you’ll have that lightness-in-your-chest, fresh-air-in-your-lungs spring cleaning feeling that will make it so much easier to conquer the rest!
