In the old days, you couldn't do much cleaning in the winter,so as soon as the weather began to warm and the snow began to melt, it was time to start scrubbing.
Turning the whole house or apartment inside out and getting everything spotless is still a good idea.
If your house isn't physically clean,its harder to keep psychically clean.

You can start by magically blessing your broom and other cleaning tools with salt and water. Take a small dish of salt,draw the sign of the pentagram over it and say " I bless this salt." Then bless a cup of water the same way. Take 3 pinches of salt from the dish and put them in the water. Stir clockwise with your right hand. Sprinkle a few drops on your regular broom saying, "I bless this broom that my life may be clean." Then sweep your house from top to bottom, and then out your back door. Then go through and open all the windows. Last, open your back door, or window farthest away from your door and shout "BEGONE DIRT, BEGONE COLD, BEGONE WINTER!"
Then go to the front door and chant "Welcome ,welcome, thrice welcome spring."
