The most common usage of
spring cleaning refers to
the yearly act of
cleaning a
house from top to bottom which would take place in
the first warm days of the year typically in
spring, hence the name. However it
has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or
organizing enterprise. A person who gets their affairs in order before an audit
or inspection could be said to be doing some spring cleaning.
It has been suggested that the origins of
spring cleaning date back to the
Iranian
Norouz, the
Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring.
This theory has been questioned, however, as Iranians (along with the majority
of the population of the ancient near east) held to a lunar calendar and not a
solar one and spring was not calculated the same way that society does today.
Iranians continue the practice of "khooneh tekouni" which literally means
"shaking the house" just before the new year. Everything in the house is
thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture.
