| | | | | Spring is the time of year associated with more daylight, greenery, a fresh start, and … cleaning. The exact origin of the spring cleaning trend is unknown, but it likely existed long before Charlotte Brontë used the term in a letter in 1848. | | For me, this seasonal tradition usually involves donating any unused items and clothes. This year, I've been focusing on organizing my chaotic second bedroom (which mainly works as a storage room), giving away a bunch of things I don't need or want anymore, and rearranging furniture, art, and other things in my apartment to freshen up the space. | | Read on to see what the rest of our team has to say about spring cleaning, including accessible ways to get started. | | | | | | | Thanks for reading,

| |  | | | It's time for spring cleaning! Here are our tips | | "I start with whatever room needs the least work, such as a guest bedroom, and work my way to the rooms that need more attention (usually ending with my garage). Instead of bringing items to a donation bin or store, I use my Facebook Buy Nothing or Gifting with Grace groups to donate directly to those in need." — Ren Dias, editor | | "I use the changes in the season as a time to refresh my kids' room. I sort through the closet and clear out anything that doesn't fit, won't fit once the last season rolls back around, and has holes or stains. I also do a sweep of the toys, books, and stowaway items they've outgrown (if they don't ask for them by the next season, then they get donated) and toss trash or broken-beyond-repair toys." — Megan Severs, senior editorial director | | "I do a digital cleanse, organizing my personal email inbox, unsubscribing from email lists and subscription services I don't use or need, going through my camera roll, and even setting a new background/wallpaper." — Sarah Choi, associate editor | | "A dishwasher tablet on a hot cycle is good for cleaning a washing machine, allegedly." — Tim Snaith, newsletter editor | | "Being able to open the windows after the long cold winters motivates spring cleaning! During the winter months, unnecessary items accumulate, and spring is a great time to donate, toss, or sell, which then leads to organizing and cleaning. Our garage also gets very dirty and cluttered in the winter, so it's nice to get that organized as well. I love getting the stink of hockey equipment out of the house when it's warm enough to keep it in the garage!" — Heidi Smith, manager, Real Appeal coaching operations | | "My two favorite spring cleaning tasks: Washing my mattress cover, which is a pain as I have to lift the mattress off of the frame and stand it on end to reach the zipper, and cleaning the dog hair off of the baseboards and all the other little ledges in the apartment where it likes to collect." — Ginger Wojcik, newsletter editor | | | | | | | | | | Spring clean your air, too! | | | | | | |  | | Windmill Air Purifier | | This smart air purifier has been going viral on my social media feeds for months now. So, what's the hype? It features a powerful 3-in-1 HEPA filter that can neutralize odors and remove 99.97% of airborne particles, like dust, animal dander, pollen, and smoke, in up to 1,950 square feet of space. It also comes in three stylish colors (White, Navy, and Bamboo) to look good in any room you place it in. The price is a bit high, but having clean air in your home is a priceless long-term investment. | | | Every product we recommend has gone through either Healthline's or Optum Now's vetting processes.
