Spring is here. Flowers are starting to bloom. Snow clouds will soon be a distant memory. This means one thing: moving. Yes, moving. Many get the rejuvenation itch and purchase the house they have been eyeing all winter long. Like prodigal sons, students will return to their hometowns. Spring is all about the hustle and bustle, and is a suitable time to make that big move. A lot of people start off new in the spring.
Regardless of the season, any move is daunting. At Rawlinson Moving & Storage, we suggest taking it step by step. Don’t jump the gun. One step that is an absolute must is that good ol’ spring cleaning. Not only will spring cleaning before moving make the move less stressful and painstaking, it will improve your mood and remove any emotional hiccups.
Spring cleaning has been a tradition since the earliest of human civilizations. Some trace it back to Iranian Norouz, the Persian new year. Others trace it back to Passover. Although opinions may vary on the roots of spring cleaning, one thing is clear: it involves cleansing one’s home and one’s self.
Spring cleaning is good for your health. We are stifled and imprisoned almost during the winter months. Our noses and lungs are in dire need of some fresh air. Open up those windows and let the air sweep in. You will feel as if you are being lifted to the skies. Once the air begins to circulate, you will notice the dust and the clutter. You will yearn for freshness on all sides of you. The rejuvenation begins to set in and, before you know it, you will be cleaning and packing.
Let’s face it – no one enjoys packing. It is the arduous aspect of any move, but if you coincide it with your spring cleaning, you will be killing two birds with one stone – preparing for you move and cleansing your life. What better way to start a new life? If you are in the Mississauga area, give us a call and we will help you move…after your spring cleaning, of course.
