Spring Cleaning with Natural Cleaning Recipes



๐ŸŒธSpring cleaning is a tradition that dates back many years and is still popular today for several reasons. Here are four reasons why one might choose to spring clean:
 
Remove clutter: Over time, clutter can accumulate in our homes, making it harder to find things we need and creating a sense of chaos. Spring cleaning provides an opportunity to declutter and get rid of things that are no longer needed, making it easier to stay organized and reduce stress.
 
Improve indoor air quality: During the winter months, we tend to spend more time indoors with the windows closed. This can lead to a buildup of dust, allergens, and other pollutants in our homes. Spring cleaning helps to improve indoor air quality by removing dust, pet dander, and other debris that can aggravate allergies and other respiratory conditions.
 
Create a more pleasant environment: Spring cleaning can help to create a more pleasant and inviting environment in our homes. By deep-cleaning surfaces, washing windows, and freshening up linens and textiles, we can create a space that is more comfortable and welcoming.
 
Boost mental health: Cleaning and organizing can have a positive effect on our mental health by reducing stress, increasing productivity, and providing a sense of accomplishment. Spring cleaning can be a cathartic process that helps us to feel more in control and organized.
 
Overall, spring cleaning is a great way to refresh our homes and create a healthier, more pleasant environment. It can also be a fun and rewarding activity that helps to boost our mental and emotional well-being.
 
Creating a healthier environment also means looking at the products we use in our homes.

What is EWG?


Have you ever heard of the EWG? If not, you’re not alone. This was a foreign concept to me until I started diving deep into ingredients and the products lurking in our home. ๐Ÿ”ฌ
 
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is an independent, non-profit organization that provides information on the safety and environmental impact of consumer products. They maintain a database called the EWG Guide to Healthy Cleaning, which rates cleaning products based on their ingredients and potential health hazards. It’s an excellent site to plug into when you’re questioning what products are safe and effective to use.
 
You’ll be happy to know doTERRA rates as an A on the EWG website, now that’s something to celebrate!
 
There are many natural options you can use in place of your regular cleaning supplies. In this blog post we will look at a few different recipes you can use.

Deep Cleaning Your Washer

Your washing machine is a breeding ground for all sorts of mold, mildew, and soap scum. ๐Ÿ˜ณ Front-loading washers can get especially bad (as you know if you’ve ever opened it to start a batch and been repelled by the smell). ๐Ÿคข Take heart, there are many preventative steps you can take so you can feel like your clothes are clean and fresh every time you do laundry.
 
To discourage mold and mildew as much as possible, leave the lid open after every wash cycle.
 
The Deep Clean:

Many online recipes have you mix baking soda with vinegar. The only problem with this is baking soda and vinegar cancel each other out—when they react and bubble, the ingredients become water and a little bit of salt. While water in itself can dissolve most compounds, all the cleaning power of the vinegar and baking soda are gone. The same goes for washing soda. However, both ingredients used separately are powerful natural cleansers. For this reason, the deep cleaning of your washer is separated into two phases.
  
Ingredients:

- ½ teaspoon natural dish soap
- 4 tablespoons washing soda
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 20 drops Tea Tree oil
 
 
Directions:

Phase One

1.  Remove the tray dispenser and fully submerge it in hot water with natural dish soap. Scrub away residue with a toothbrush, rinse, and put it back in the machine.
2.  Put washing soda in the drum. Using the hottest setting on your washer or the “tub clean” cycle on certain models, run your machine.
 
Phase Two

1.  After the cycle finishes, pour vinegar and essential oils into your liquid dispenser. Run your washer using the “tub clean” cycle or the hottest setting again.
2.  Wipe out the seal, drum, and door with a cloth and let dry completely before doing a batch of laundry.
3.  Remove and clean the filter at the bottom of the machine if your washer has one.
 
If you have a top-loading washing machine, use the same recipe for deep cleaning, but add the washing soda to a drum full of hot water. For phase two, pour the vinegar directly in the drum.

Do this deep clean a few times a year, your washing machine will thank you for it. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
 

DIY Cleaning Wipes
