Are You Ready for Spring?

As a nation, we're quickly approaching the beginning of spring and all the season affords - daffodils blooming, lambs skipping about the fields, and the chance to give your house a complete refresh in the form of a good, old-fashioned spring clean.

The annual event started as a way of clearing the grime and soot out of the house after spending months indoors, away from the harsh winter conditions. Nowadays, spring cleaning gives us a chance to rejuvenate our living space in preparation for the coming of warmer weather.

“Now, many of us still enjoy the opportunity provided by spring to let in fresh air, clean our windows and wash the floor under the refrigerator – as well as other difficult-to-reach places," says Yvonne Manomano, cleaning operations manager at DIY company Handy, " Another reason for cleaning taking place in spring is that the warmer weather and longer days work as a stimulant for a lot of people to become more active.”

Spring cleaning isn’t just an opportunity to get rid of those last, few pesky dust bunnies – it offers the perfect opportunity to re-decorate your home in order to move into the rest of the year in a stress-free way.
