You may even freshen up your linens, swapping out winter’s dark colors with fresh, light options for spring. However, if you didn’t properly store your tablecloths, cloth napkins, and other linens, or if you didn’t wash these materials before putting them away, you may find a disaster in your linen closet!

Sunday, March 20, is the first day of spring — which means it’s time for some spring- cleaning. Did you know that cleaning is not just about tidying up a physical space? It’s also about improving overall well-being. Here's how organization and cleanliness can help you in more ways than you might expect.
SPRING-CLEANING REDUCES STRESS AND DEPRESSION.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Tidiness and mental health are actually connected. Studies have found that having a clean home is directly correlated to happiness and your ability to focus.

Clearing the clutter is a great way to boost your mood and increase those feel-good hormones.

As with many other materials, keep your linens in a cool, dark area.
Doorknobs, refrigerator handles, light switches, countertops, and remote controls are all things we touch many times a day. Cleaning anything that’s used often is one way to reduce the spread of germs. By keeping household surfaces clean, we help thwart the spread of viruses and illnesses.
SPRING-CLEANING HELPS YOU BREATHE BETTER.
Spring often brings pollen that triggers allergies for many. But pollen isn't the only thing to blame when people have difficulty breathing. When dust and pet dander build up in your home, your respiratory system is greatly affected too. Deep-cleaning your air filters and vents can make breathing effortless — and it’s truly amazing how this can improve your well-being.
