It is that time of the year for us to spring clean again. We live in the tropics so spring cleaning in our dictionary is a bit different. It is also the turn of the lunar new year, which is the Asian turn of the year. It means stop being lazy, clean the whole house now! And also to throw out oldies and whatever you do not need. We stay in a big enough place with a lot of storage place so you can imagine what is being stored in those deep corners. And no wonder we are always complaining that we do not have enough space. We have turned out to be a bit of a hoarder ourselves.
Spring cleaning is the period in
spring time set aside for cleaning a house, normally applied in climates with a cold
winter.
The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the yearly act of cleaning a house from top to bottom which would take place in the first warm days of the year typically in spring, hence the name. However it has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or organizing enterprise. A person who gets their affairs in order before an audit or inspection could be said to be doing some spring cleaning.
