Is Spring Cleaning Really Necessary? | Speed Cleaning | House Cleaning Supplies, Tools and Tips from Jeff Campbell's The Clean Team
Some people love spring cleaning, others loathe it & a good majority of people today find it just plain unnecessary. It just really depends on where you live (the age of your house, climate you live in, proximity to polluting elements, etc.), your general lifestyle throughout the year & your mindset. There's nothing wrong with making spring or fall your time to redecorate, replace or purchase something important & needed for the home or doing some good old-fashioned deep-cleaning. But, in general, the article above explains why we shouldn't feel guilty if we're not involved in spring cleaning each year. I believe I remember the FlyLady remarking that spring cleaning wasn't really needed anymore in her home because of her daily, weekly & Zone cleaning habits being in place. And I have to say, I've found that to be true for me, as well.

I try to stay on my cleaning routine but, for me, "spring cleaning" is more of a ritual to welcome a new season. I do my best purging during my spring cleaning session!
