We are still in the middle of spring and many of you may be cleaning out your cupboards, washing walls and cleaning your windows. Many Zoflora users will be utilizing their signature fragrance to get the job done.
On the other hand, have you ever wondered why people spring clean? Is there a reason why people choose spring as a time to deep clean their houses as opposed to autumn or winter? Well, that’s what we’ll be discussing in today’s article.
Find out what the origin of spring cleaning is and how you can keep your home spotless and bacteria-free using Zoflora by reading today’s article.
The Reason Behind Spring Cleaning
Back in the old days when there was no such thing as heaters or air conditioning people had fireplaces integrated into their homes to keep their house warm. People closed all their windows to prevent the heat from escaping.
Keeping windows closed created a buildup of dust and soot on walls, windows and floors. During the springtime, people would open up their homes so dust could escape and allow air to flow through the space.
Spring was a time to wipe away soot off of counters, floors, walls, cupboards and any other surface area that had dirt built up from fireplace ash.
Although we live now live in modern times where fireplaces aren’t common your home can still have a buildup of dust during the winter months. Since windows are closed during winter dust isn’t able to escape so it settles in corners, carpets and in between ornaments. So spring cleaning is an important process to rid your home of dust and other harmful contaminants.
Spring is About New Beginnings and Wiping Away Winter
Some cultures celebrate spring because it represents new life. Trees start to bloom new flowers and leaves and the landscapes start growing new blades of grass. Spring can be a new beginning for you too and that means getting rid of all your old items and wiping away the old dirt left behind by winter.
You Have More Energy to Get Rid of Clutter
There is a science as to why you feel more energetic in spring. There’s a section within your brain called the pineal gland that produces a chemical called melatonin when it’s dark. During winter this chemical production is accelerated because nights are longer so you feel sleepier.
When spring arrives the sun is in the sky longer and the days are brighter. The pineal gland slows down the production of melatonin during spring because of how bright the days are. As a result, you feel more energetic and ready to de-clutter your home.
5 Ways to Spring Clean with Zoflora
The best way to wipe away winter is to use your bottle of Zoflora concentrate. Zoflora is the perfect cleaning aid that will lift stubborn dirt off of surfaces leaving them looking spotless. Here are five ways you can use Zoflora to spring clean your home.
1. Clean Away Dust Build Up on Windows
When spring rolls in you’ll notice how much dirt and grime has accumulated on your windows. Use a Zoflora trigger spray bottle filled with water and 1 and a half caps of Zoflora concentrate to start cleaning your windows.
Spray the Zoflora solution on your windows and use a microfiber cloth to wipe away the grime off the surface of the glass. Use circular motions to clean off the area. Have a bucket handy to rinse your cloth off so you don’t spread the dirt around.
2. Kill Mould Growth in Corners and on Taps
In winter you may not notice the build-up of mould in corners, under tap handles and in between tiles. Inspect your home and wherever you see dark green spores spray them with your Zoflora concentrate. Use a scrubbing brush to loosen the dirt and then wipe it away with a cloth.
3. Wash Those Walls
If you have white colour tiles in your bathroom or kitchen you may not realise that there’s a build-up of mildew on the surface of your walls.
Get a bucket and fill it with lukewarm water. Then add three capfuls of Zoflora concentrate to the mix. Dip a sponge into the solution and start wiping away the marks on your walls. Zoflora will leave your walls looking shiny and clean and it will add a pleasant fragrance to your home.
