Spring Cleaning



It is a common practice through most of the world to do a “Spring Cleaning”.
The origins of spring cleaning probably date back to the Norouz, the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring. Iranians still continue the practice of “khooneh takouni” which literally means “shaking the house” just before the new year. Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture.
In North America and northern Europe, the custom was found especially practical due to those regions’ Spring climates. During the 19th century in America, prior to the vacuum cleaner, March was often the best time for dusting because it was getting warm enough to open windows and doors (but not warm enough for insects to be a problem), and the high winds could carry the dust out of the house.
Spring started awhile ago now, but the weather here has not been very nice yet. So my spring (yard) cleaning just got done. I know for myself that it is definitely a satisfying ritual. See my new comic strip about my .
