Traditions are passed down from generation to generation and one that has stood the test of time is the annual spring clean. It began in England in the early 18th century when people believed that cleaning the home after winter would remove evil spirits; at that time, knowledge about science was lacking and disease was usually blamed on evil spirits or demons that hide in the home.

Cleanliness is hygienic
Of course, today we know a lot more about science and we understand that clean surfaces do not attract germs and bacteria, therefore by thoroughly cleaning the interior of your home, you are making your living space a cleaner and healthier place. A spring clean would include deep cleaning carpets and a call to the best window cleaning Brisbane has to offer will ensure that your windows match the rest of your home.
Schedule a long weekend
If you have a large family home, it will take at least two days to completely clean the interior, so Pillar Brandon Management advises you to wait for a long weekend, then you can be sure to finish before you have to return to work. The professional cleaners start at the top and work their way down, which means gravity is helping the clean; the upstairs ceilings would be the place to start the clean, using old bedsheets to cover furniture.
Call in a cleaning company
If you don’t have the time or inclination to spring clean your home, contact a local Sydney-based cleaning contractor and they would be happy to quote for the project. Of course, a team of professional cleaners won’t take a weekend, the job would be finished in a single day.
Superstitions
There are those that believe that a spring clean also removes bad fortune from the family home and who are we to say that is an old wives’ tale? If you feel that your luck is going to change, that in itself might be enough to bring you some fortune! You parents might have heard about this, your grandparents should know this story too.
Harmful bacteria
Tiny microbes are falling all around us, too small for the human eye to see and even indoors, bacteria, germs and pathogens can be present. Think about the act of wearing your shoes and bringing the debris and germs into your home, this is not a good idea regardless of your living conditions and we recommend having your carpets deep cleaned when you spring clean the house. Open the windows during the spring clean and this allows particles to escape and makes the environment a healthier place.
If you haven’t had a spring clean for a few years, now is the perfect time to arrange a free weekend and you and your family can get to work and deep clean the entire house.
