For those of us who are busy - wether we're busy with life, careers, being parents, care givers and even pet owners we know how easy it is to accumulate stuff. Taking time to go through these things and get rid of what we don't need or no longer want is so important! Having a decluttered and organized living space can contribute to mental clarity and reduce stress by creating a more calming and peaceful environment. Tidy surroundings that are free from clutter, can help reduce feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. Having a clean and organized space allows us to start fresh and feel more energized in this new season.

The clutter that can accumulate from every day life can contribute to dust, mold, and other allergens being present in our homes. If you have pets, they can produce dander and hair that can trigger allergies and asthma. When we spring clean, we remove these accumulations that have built up over the winter months and improve indoor air quality. Deep clean carpets, wash curtains, and dust hard-to-reach areas to reduce the amount of airborne particles. It's also a good time to implement routine maintenance of our HVAC systems and change air filters to further improve indoor air quality.
