Cleaning in warm and welded seasons

In Venezuela there is no spring as such, due to its position in the world it has a tropical climate all year round and only varies a few degrees depending on the season, there is only summer and summer with rain, just kidding, it is summer and winter because it rains and the weather is a little cooler, although where I live it is always hot sometimes also when it is rainy season.

Because we only see these two seasons it is not cultural that "spring cleaning", although I understand well what it is about and I think there are several things I do throughout the year when the weather is warmer (as just these coming months) that could be considered part of a spring cleaning or deep cleaning.

To begin with, in rainy seasons because of the water involved everything is very humid and this humidity sometimes causes some damage to the houses, especially in the area where we live the houses are prone to fill with humidity, so we must constantly be attentive to clean and dry any water that appears in the way so that the walls or floors are not filled with moisture.

The problem is that at home my husband, after having covid, suffered from strong allergies and of course humidity is for him a super allergy trigger, so in warmer seasons like the current one, we take care of repairing everything that humidity has caused, without the rain ruining this work. The strong sun is like medicine and an essential part of these repairs, besides that when light and solar heat enters, it is ventilated and the humidity comes out more easily.

So in these seasons we open as much as possible the house, doors, windows and everything we can to get out any damp smell. I really like to put some things like cushions out in the sun, so sometimes the whole backyard is full of them. Doing this we have found that it does us a lot of good, someone once told me that the sun is like a natural antibiotic and although it obviously doesn't magically cure illnesses, I have noticed how it prevents them.

When we do these things, the house feels cleaner, more free of any humidity or odor caused by it, so we prevent my husband's allergies a little bit and I avoid getting sick with the flu. We have also noticed that at this time of the year the weather is so sunny and dry that the bush does not come out, so although we do not like to cut it, we decided to do it because we avoid it to grow for a long time, and the truth is that we have noticed that it takes a lot of time to grow.

Contradictorily this season of the year which is quite hot and I could easily say somewhat dry, there are beautiful trees blooming with intensity, showing their colors and and flowers in the open, so I don't know how it works that blooming while the weeds dry out and take time to grow, but although I don't understand it I love it, they make wherever there are flowering trees feel special, cheerful and beautiful.

Deep cleanings of the whole house, complemented with the entry of a little sun and breeze, are the best because they make the environment feel cleaner, freer and full of light, it feels somehow without disease, because it helps us to avoid discomfort. This time when it is quite hot, but still many flowers come out and light and many fruits are finally born on the trees, is super special and cleanliness makes us can enjoy it to the fullest.
