Why do We Clean in Spring ? ( continued from cover )
Rugs were beaten and aired out . Walls , ceilings and floors were swept and scrubbed . It ’ s a tradition .
Logical Reasons Spring has always been a time of change . Americans tend to have two distinct wardrobes : one for warm weather and one for cool weather . Since closet space is limited , we often clean and organize closets this time of year .
The type of work and play activities change , so we put away winter toys and tools and get out the ones for warmer weather . Now we need to clean out and organize our garages , basements and attics . An organized home is more efficient , resulting in less wasted time and frustration .
Health Reasons A clean home is a healthy home .
Cleaning is the process of removing soils and contaminants from an environment or material . This results in better indoor air quality , a reduction of microbial growth and the added benefit that your carpet and other furnishings will last longer .

It Pays to Clean Gutters in the Spring
Usually you think about your gutters in fall . But plenty of debris can accumulate there in the six months since you last cleaned them .
It ’ s easy to miss leaves from trees that don ’ t go bare until late fall . They ’ re probably still up there . Storm-blown sticks aren ’ t going anywhere by themselves . Many trees drop spring buds and flowers , and then there are the clouds of white cottony stuff blowing from the cottonwoods . By the middle of April , it ’ s time to clean the gutters again . Here are a few safety tips .
1 . You ’ ll be climbing a ladder , so don ’ t wear loose clothes that could trip you up or catch on the ladder or the gutter . Wear shoes that easily grip each rung of the ladder .
2 . Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes and wear work gloves so you won ’ t be cut by something sharp , which could also startle you and make you fall .
3 . Always work with a partner who can hold the ladder and help move it to the next work spot , and who can call
Don ’ t forget your gutters when doing your spring cleaning .
for help if you fall or are injured .
4 . Use a trowel instead of your hands , even if you are wearing gloves .
5 . Dump debris into a garbage can below . If you miss it , you can sweep up when you ’ re finished . Never carry a trash bucket up the ladder .
You may not look forward to the project , but gutters are needed to carry water away from the foundation and basement . And they can prevent wall damage on the inside of a home .
Put safety at the top of your list .
