"Spring Cleaning" Old Custom

What we call spring cleaning" is
said to go back to the Passover
From that time there has been a
custom whereby everything in a
house should be cleaned in the early
part of the year. The custom was
common among the Jews especially
those who settled in Holland. and
gradually the whole of the Dutch
nation. became impregnated with
this idea. From the Netherlands
the custom spread to England.
