National Cleaning Week will next take place March 23 – 29, 2025.
About National Cleaning Week
Each year, starting on the fourth Sunday in March, we celebrate the annual tradition of spring cleaning. Spring is the most popular time for deep cleaning.
Everyone cleans, for many reasons, and one of those is for lower stress and greater piece of mind. Clutter and mess can lead to feeling overwhelmed and being anxious or unable to focus. Decluttering can reduce this anxiety and release endorphins. It can make your home a more healthy and safe environment. That's why this year's theme is about the connection between cleaning and well-being.
Origins of National Cleaning Week
Spring cleaning has been a time-honored tradition since ancient times for both religious reasons and practical ones. It provides an opportunity to remove dust, dirt, and clutter from the home coming out of the winter months. Find out more about the origins of spring cleaning in our blog post.
National Cleaning Week has been celebrated by the cleaning and cleaning products industry for many years and has been recognized by several state governments.
