Before you know it, the winter holidays will be a memory and you’ll be looking ahead to the coming year. Even if you don’t regularly make New Year’s resolutions, you might be one of the many people who view the New Year as a fresh start, a time to plan for the months ahead and make positive changes. One tangible way you can start the New Year off on the right foot is with a clean home.
Deep cleaning to prepare for the New Year is a common practice in many cultures. In Japan, for example, families spend most of New Year’s Eve cleaning their homes. You’ll find similar routines (some more superstitious than others) throughout Asia and around the world.
According to a 2009 New York Times article: “The Chinese tradition is to clean before the new year begins, and many people believe that it’s best not to sweep again for a few days after New Year’s Day, so as not to sweep away the good luck.”
Perhaps you need to clean up and recover from the holidays. Whether you were traveling abroad or entertaining at home, now is your chance to relax and reflect on the past year while welcoming the new one. Cleaning your home, however, can feel like a chore and take time away from more enjoyable activities.
