If we closely notice the major Indian festivals, each one marks the starting of a new season or the time of harvesting. Each of these occasions deserves celebration and also thoroughly\u00a0<\/span>cleaning homes<\/a>, shops or godowns. It could be to cleanse the home from any infection once the rainy season ends and winter enters for Diwali or to tidy up the house for bringing in the newly harvested produce.
