Spring Cleaning

Woman cleaning shutters for Spring cleaning

Introduction:

Spring cleaning is a tradition that dates back to more than 3000 years BC1. It has been observed in Scotland, Ireland, and the West21. Some researchers trace the origins of spring cleaning back to the ancient Jewish custom of thoroughly cleaning the house in preparation for the springtime feast of Passover13. The tradition became mainstream in the West by the 1970s2.

Some researchers trace the origin of spring cleaning to the Iranian Nowruz, the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring. Iranians continue the practice of khaneh tekani (Persian: خانه‌تکانی; literally “shaking the house”) just before the Persian new year. Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture.
