Spring is the season you usually give your home that long-deserved refreshing cleaning makeover. It is meant to make your home spring-ready and more tailored for the good weather spring usually brings. While many people are actually eager to start their spring cleaning chores, you may be of the group that would rather make excuses, but postpone cleaning all the same. Maybe some of the excuses you don’t even realise you are making. In any case, the following are some of the most popular excuses that a few common groups are making: 

1. Renewed Activities with Friends

Some people are looking forward to spending more time on social activities with friends in spring. You see them getting the patio table set up first thing when the weather picks up. You’d think that the group is focused on cleaning too, but that is often not the case. These people are more focused on other activities they can resume in spring, instead of cleaning. The most common excuse is: I have no time, as I am going out with friends. People who fall under this category spend so much time outside their home that it is no surprise they would rather not waste time cleaning. 

2. Cleaning is Mostly a Way of Making Things Look Like New

If you have ever done a good spring clean session, you know well enough that it is so much more than just making your kitchen look gleaming. There is dusting in places you haven’t touched in months involved, as well as many chores that simply involve getting seemingly clean areas of your home sanitised, as they are full of bacteria. Be that as it may, many people view spring cleaning as a way of showing off their home. Thus, instead of doing a thorough clean, which is what spring cleaning is all about, some people would just do a quick tidy-up. If you are part of these people, remember that cleaning is not a way to boost the appeal, but refresh your home in a way that is not just visible to the eye, but can be felt with all of your senses. 

3. You Focus on Decluttering and Forget about Cleaning

Some people love spring for the fact they can finally ditch their winter apparel and go for the lighter clothes in their wardrobe. However, that is not a process, which just happens, but usually requires some decluttering. Overhauling your closet is a fine thing since you are removing stuff that doesn’t belong there. But using that as an excuse to avoid some actual cleaning work is hardly an ideal scenario. 

4. Getting Some Workout for the Summer

Many people spend more time worrying about their weight, which supposedly they gained during the winter, and completely ignore cleaning. They engage in workouts and running and whatnot. But don’t forget that cleaning is a workout too. It involves a lot of physical activity, which can burn calories, just like a normal workout. In fact, you can make spring cleaning feel like a workout by setting a timer or adding ankle/wrist weights. It won’t be long before you feel just how engaging it can be. 

As you can see, there are many excuses for avoiding spring cleaning. What matters most is that you find a way to do some part of the chores, if not all. If things prove too difficult, you can always resort to booking the services of a cleaning company.
