A fresh start for you, a second life for your things.
Spring has officially sprung and with it, we’ve got that irresistible urge to fling open the windows, shake off the winter dust, and start fresh 🌸
Across cultures, spring symbolises new beginnings. It aligns with everything from Easter to Holi and Nowruz, all celebrating rebirth and renewal. So it’s no surprise that the spring season naturally inspires us to reflect, reset… and maybe finally tackle that overcrowded kitchen drawer.
That’s why we’re launching Olio’s Big Spring Clean 2025 – a three week challenge to help you clear the clutter and give your unused items a second chance at life with someone nearby.
How does it work? 🌼
Between 7th and 27th April, add at least 5 listings* on the Olio app and you will:
● Be entered into a £100 cash prize draw** 💸
● Unlock our exclusive “Spring Cleaner 2025” badge 🏅
We’re all about making decluttering a feel-good experience, so we’ve created a bingo card to help you stay motivated – and have a little fun along the way!
We’ve also made a kid-friendly bingo version…for a fun way to get the little ones involved – while teaching them the joy of sharing and building sustainable habits.
Try our interactive virtual version for a fun, tap-and-tick experience as you go. Or, if you’re more of an analogue person, you can print it at home and go old-school ✍️
Each square is a small, simple action to keep your spring clean on track, with a few extra Olio-inspired prompts to help you hit your 5 listings and enter our £100 prize draw 🤑

Let’s make spring cleaning circular ♻️
We all have stuff we don’t use. But instead of chucking it in the bin or stuffing it in a cupboard just in case, why not give it a second life on Olio?
From half-used spice jars to toys your kids have outgrown, that extra duvet in the cupboard to the unopened moisturiser you’ll never use – someone nearby will want it.
By sharing whatever you’re not using, you can help your neighbours, and contribute to a more sustainable, circular way of living. That’s the Olio magic ✨
Clear space = clear mind
Spring cleaning can be a powerful boost for your mental wellbeing, too. Studies have shown that cluttered spaces can contribute to feelings of stress and anxiety, making it harder to relax, focus, or feel in control. One study found that people who described their homes as cluttered were more likely to experience fatigue and depression.
On the flip side, clearing out your space can lift your mood, improve concentration and sleep quality, reduce fatigue and feelings of overwhelm 🧠
As the days grow longer and brighter, spring offers the perfect opportunity to shake off the heaviness of winter. And decluttering can help bring calm, clarity, and fresh energy into your everyday routine.
Let’s turn the season of renewal into something truly powerful – for your home, your head, and your community.
