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?

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.
