     “[I don’t do it in spring, but rather] at the end of the year [in Peru where I’m from,] especially for New Year’s when you bring everything new [and clean],” Gianella Cosio said.

Carmen Viera Owner, JJC Unique Treasures Hialeah

     “I mix baking soda with dishwashing liquid and I pour that in my sinks, followed with hot water and everything is spotless,” Carmen Viera said. “[It makes the] sink smell good, unclogs the sinks. I like to do that once or twice a week." 

Andres Gaviria Owner, The Plant Addicts Miami Lakes

     “I clean my plant leaves and actually, spring is a good time to start propagation,” Andres Gaviria said. “Growth in the spring is a lot faster [for cutting back plants].”  

Wendy Llorente Owner, Almara Beauty West Kendall

     “My spring-cleaning tip is get rid of what you don’t need [go through] your closets, cabinets, pantry, everything,” Wendy Llorente said. “I do it twice a year and every spring.” 

Johanna Meneses Owner, Revolution Consciousness Miami Lakes

     “My personal spring-cleaning tip is I go through everything and see what no longer serves me or [I’m] no longer using,” Johanna Meneses said. “That way I can donate it and completely cleanse, start a refreshing new cycle."
