About Spring Cleaning
Once a year, something stirs that no calendar can quite capture — the urge to throw open every window, shake out every rug, and let the pale spring light expose what winter quietly hid. It's a ritual older than any cleaning product: the vinegar-and-water bucket, the duster waving like a flag of surrender, the satisfying scrape of a squeegee across glass. When it's done, the whole house seems to breathe differently — lighter, fresher, ready for whatever the season brings next.
