Spring Green Cleaning: Eco-Friendly Tips for your Home 

Before you reach for the conventional cleaning products packed with harsh chemicals, consider embracing a more eco-friendly approach to cleaning this Spring. With a few simple swaps and sustainable practices, you can achieve a sparkling clean home while minimizing your environmental impact. 


1. Choose Natural Cleaning Ingredients:


Say goodbye to toxic chemicals by stocking up on staples like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice, which are effective at tackling dirt, grime, and odors without harming the environment. Mix vinegar with water for an all-purpose cleaner, sprinkle baking soda on surfaces to scrub away stains, and add a few drops of essential oils like lavender or tea tree for a fresh scent and added antimicrobial properties.


2. Declutter with Purpose:


Spring cleaning is an opportunity to declutter and simplify your living space. Why not donate gently used clothing, furniture, and household items to local charities or community organizations to give them a new life and reduce waste. Not only will you free up space in your home, but you'll also support those in need and promote a circular economy.


3. Embrace Sustainable Practices:


Make sustainable choices throughout your cleaning routine to minimize waste and reduce your environmental footprint. Opt for reusable cleaning cloths and mop heads instead of disposable wipes and paper towels. Choose eco-friendly cleaning tools made from natural materials like bamboo or recycled plastic. When disposing of cleaning waste, recycle or compost whenever possible to divert materials from landfills and promote resource conservation.

Even if you didn’t grow up on a farm, you’ll still notice the difference, not just in the taste, but also in the way fresh fruits and vegetables can affect your health. If you have ever wondered why the fruits your grandma brings from the farm taste better, it’s because they are absolutely fresh.

Do you keep plants in your home or maintain a garden on your property? Having a few houseplants in your main living area or a beautifully landscaped yard can make your home a happier place. That said, many of us are not born “plant moms” (or dads). If you’ve been limited to the same plastic ficus since your college years, it’s time to get a little more adventurous in the plant care department.
