Spring cleaning traditions

 

Why do people like to take on “spring cleaning?” There are a lot of reasons; here are the top three reasons panel members reported:

 

– To declutter and organize
– To make the home feel and smell fresh
– To create a healthy living environment

 

Of the panel members who responded to the survey, the majority-37%- do not have a specific spring cleaning tradition. 32% of respondents take part in spring cleaning every year, while 31% of you sometimes participate.

 

Many of you spend time throughout the year cleaning and organizing, not just during the spring season. According to our survey, 55% of respondents declutter and organize their home occasionally through the year. Another 27% frequently declutter; while 17% rarely spend time on this activity. A tiny percentage- 1%- never declutter or organize.

 

Where do you spring clean?

 

These are the top five areas of the home that are given the highest priority when spring cleaning, according to our panel members:

 

– Bedroom
– Kitchen
– Living Room
– Yard/deck/patio
– Garage

 

When spring cleaning, 80% of respondents focus on specific areas or rooms only, while 18% of you tackle the entire home.

 

Most of you seem to have a routine that works for you, as 48% of respondents expect to clean and organize the same as you did in previous years. Only 8% of respondents expect to clean less, while 44% of you expect to clean more.

 

But, at least you have help! At least, most of you do. According to the survey, 44% of respondents have other household members help with spring cleaning tasks. As for the rest of you, 19% indicated they live alone, while 37% of panel members don’t have help from other family members.
