National Clean Your Room Day on May 10 is the perfect day to tackle that pile of laundry, organize your closet, and dust off those shelves! This holiday was created in 1995 by one very motivated mother who wanted her daughter to clean her room. But it's not just for kids--adults can benefit from a good spring cleaning too! So grab some rubber gloves and get ready for an exciting day of tidying up.
