Spring Cleaning in Easter

According to an ancient tradition, the three days after Palm Sunday are devoted in many countries to a spring cleaning of the whole house, to get ready for the great feast. This tradition is a custom taken over from the ancient Jewish practice of a ritual cleansing and sweeping of the house in preparation for the Feast of Passover.

So if you haven’t done any spring cleaning yet, now it’s time to start thinking about it before Easter Holiday arrives and finds you looking for the hoover still!

Easter is traditionally a family holiday, and we suspect that you may be having a lot of visitors in your home during these bank holidays. So here are the must do’s of cleaning before the troop comes knocking on your door:

1- Clean the kitchen. Give it a good shake, clean it top to bottom and don’t forget the oven and the fridge! Most probably you will be doing a lot of cooking these days…

2- Clean the living room. Vacuum, dust and polish furniture.

3- Tidy the garden! Get your garden ready for the Egg Hunt for your little ones; remove dead/dry plants and mow the green.

4- Laundry bed linen and towels. Get them ready for all your guests; take advantage of the sunny days we have now to hung them outside and let them embed the sun.

If you don’t have the time or patience to get your home ready for Easter Holidays, then call Amy Cleaning for a great spring cleaning that will leave you only with the hard chore of buying the chocolate eggs!
