Spring is here. Outside tulips are blooming and birds are chirping. Inside millions of Americans are busy with the annual event of cleaning. According to the recently published Rasmussen Report, this year 72% of respondents in the U.S. plan to partake in this spring cleaning ritual. If you’re planning on some spring cleaning yourself, instead of putting on the rubber gloves and face mask, you may want to check out the variety of safe non-toxic green cleaning options that are now available. You can still open the windows while cleaning if you like.

 

In addition to sprucing up the inside of their homes, people will also be sprucing up outside the home planting gardens. Over half of all respondents are planning to put their hands in the dirt and making something grow. If you haven’t yet planned out your landscape ideas, taking the time to make good plant selections and appropriate location choices will help to reduce your labor, cost, and time.

 

With only 23% planning to leave for a springtime vacation, it looks like this will be a season for flourishing at home, cleaning and gardening. See Newsroom America for more spring poll results.
