Clutter Control & Cleaning

"Spring cleaning?" asks Ewer. "You don’t need to do it! If you take a look at the history of spring cleaning, it came from our dirty heating systems." In the past, the cleanup was necessary to get rid of scummy, greasy carbon deposits from open fires and coal stoves, but today's homes seldom present this kind of problem. However, Ewer notes, "a lot of us like to welcome spring with a clean house." So if you’re pining for a fresh start, break out the sponges and brushes!
