Iranians gear up to welcome Nowruz

As the Persian New Year approaches, people in Iran make some preparations to welcome the new year, also known as Nowruz.

House cleaning is one of the old traditions of Nowruz, an ancient festival that marks the arrival of spring.

Days before the Persian New Year, people clean every inch of their homes to start a year full of joy.

On the verge of Nowruz, carpet cleaning services are inundated with orders as those people who can’t wash do the job on their own get cleaning experts to freshen their carpets. 

People also decorate their homes and buy new clothes on the eve of Nowruz.
