Spring cleaning, or Khouneh Tekouni (literally means ’shaking the house’) or ‘complete cleaning of the house’ is commonly performed before Nowruz. Persians (Iranians, Afghans and Tajiks) and other Indo-Iranian groups (Kurds, Armenians, Azarbaijanis and Balochs) start preparing for the Nowruz with a major spring-cleaning of their houses, and carpet cleaning has become a new year ritual.
