In the Northern Hemisphere, spring is right around the corner. And this time of year brings spring cleaning to mind, both for our homes and for the Google Trends website.

Across the United States, searches for vapor steam cleaners have nearly tripled in the past month, and searches for self-cleaning toilets are up more than 140% in the past week. And that love of spring cleaning isn’t limited to the home: Across most states in the U.S., more people search for yard-related spring cleaning tips than anything inside the house.

A U.S. map shows the most searched areas related to spring cleaning in the past year, with yard being the most searched, followed by kitchen, bathroom, garage, and bedroom.

Spring cleaning for lawns is a hot topic across much of the U.S.

Inspired by all those searches, we’ve done a bit of sprucing up ourselves. Today we’re launching a new and improved Google Trends site, so it’s now easier than ever to access the breadth of resources we have to offer.
