Spring Cleaning Week

Is cleaning on your checklist this spring?

National Spring Cleaning Week was March 27th-April 2nd. Did you join the millions of Americans who put their dusters, vacuums and wipes to work for National Spring Cleaning week? If not, not to worry. Following the spring cleaning trend days, or even weeks, late can still yield the same personal and professional benefits.

According to a 2021 Statista survey, over 69% of people in the United States like to participate in spring cleaning every year. Whether you take this tradition to your home, your desk, or your entire workplace, the act of cleaning and reorganizing has shown to help reduce stress, promote creativity, productivity, and improve overall mood. Since you spend the majority of your day working, then why not focus your efforts on the environment you spend the most time in? Split tasks among a group or prioritize your own to-do list across the work week.
