Maundy Thursday falls on the seventh week of Lent, in 2025 - on April 17. This is one of the most important days before the most important Christian holiday - Easter. A few days before Easter itself and the end of Lent, it is customary to do a thorough cleaning of the house. In this article, YokoSun explains what Maundy Thursday is, whether you really need to clean up on this day, and how to quickly clean your house before Easter.
What is Maundy Thursday?
Maundy (or Maundy) Thursday occurs in the seventh week of Lent, three days before Easter. Maundy Thursday is dedicated to memories of the last day of Jesus Christ's stay on earth, the Last Supper. On it, Jesus Christ shared bread and wine with the disciples, and also washed their feet.
Clean Maundy Thursday was also called because Christians come to this day having purified themselves during Lent. In 2025, it comes to an end on April 19, and Easter falls on the next day, April 20.
How to spend Maundy Thursday?
On Maundy Thursday, Lent still continues, which means that believers should continue to observe food restrictions: do not drink alcohol, meat, eggs, milk, fish. By the way, we have already talked about unusual ideas for a Lenten menu in this article.
In addition, spiritual purity plays an important role. Therefore, the Church does not recommend skipping the Divine Liturgy, or attending entertainment events. It is on Maundy Thursday that preparations for Easter begin: believers paint eggs and bake Easter eggs.
There is also a widespread tradition of performing a general frill, which must be completed on Maundy Thursday. In fact, the Church believes that on this day it is spiritual cleanliness that is important, and not general cleaning of the house. However, centuries-old traditions and rational considerations - preparing the house for Easter in advance - are also important. And then cleaning on this day is not only a tradition, but also an opportunity to update the space, get rid of unnecessary things and fill the house with special light.
Clean Thursday: how to quickly clean the house
Despite the fact that spring cleaning is expected on Maundy Thursday, reality takes its toll. After all, Thursday is a weekday and many will spend it at work. But in order not to change traditions, we offer an easy cleaning plan - a checklist of what is definitely worth taking into account when preparing for Easter.
- Getting rid of the old
On Maundy Thursday or the day before, it is best to get rid of old and unnecessary things, clearing the space. And on this day you can start putting winter things away in the closet - pack down jackets and other winter clothes, wash winter shoes and send them to wait for the next season.
- No dust
What is definitely worth spending time on is wet cleaning and getting rid of dust. Wipe bedside tables, shelves and as many surfaces of the house as possible where dust may accumulate. With YokoSun universal household cleaner, wet cleaning can be made easier - the product will cope with everyday dirt and add shine to surfaces. There will be no unpleasant smell or streaks left after it.
Until April 20, YokoSun products can be purchased at a nice price. Promotional code AZLF217DB69C for the purchase of household chemicals on the marketplace OZONE will give a 10% discount.
- Clean floor
Dust also accumulates on the floor, so in preparation for Easter, it should also be washed. This won’t take much time if you have assistants in your arsenal: a washing vacuum cleaner or a robot vacuum cleaner, as well as reliable tools. Using YokoSun floor cleaning gel you can easily get rid of even old stains, eliminate unpleasant odors and add shine to the surface.
- Cleanliness in the kitchen
If there is not enough time for general cleaning in the kitchen, it is enough to get rid of large visible dirt and wash the dishes. For example, it is definitely worth removing grease stains on the stove - some products do not even require active movements to clean the surface. For example, if you apply YokoSun Grease Remover to an old stain, the product can deal with it in just 15 seconds. In addition, you definitely shouldn’t leave a mountain of dishes overnight.
- Clothes washed
On Maundy Thursday, it is better to wash the accumulated dirty laundry. It’s worth starting a big wash in advance, because on Thursday it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to wash all the accumulated items at once. This is where affordable, economical products will come to the rescue, such as washing gels YokoSun. A 5-liter package is enough for 210 washes, and the gels also take care of clothes and give a pleasant aroma.
- Shoe care
Before going to bed, clean your shoes to remove old dust. Do not wash your shoes under running warm water; it is better to use wet wipes, special sponges and brushes, depending on the type of material.
- Purity of body and spirit
Don't forget about yourself: it's better to go to bed on Maundy Thursday clean, having washed your body and hair. Try to rid your head of unclean thoughts on this day, concentrating on the good and bright.
