I love working with the energy of the season, following the mandala of life, harmonising with nature.
If you came to my workshop early this month you know that Spring is fabulous time to do some cleaning and get your life into shape. You can use the opportunity to make many positive changes to your home and life, from the inside out. You can organize, clean, and bring a happy and peaceful feeling to yourself once you’re finished.
In addition, you can take earth friendly steps to do what’s best for the planet while you’re cleaning.
Spring cleaning is a popular time to get your life into shape. You can use the opportunity to make many positive changes to your home and life. You can organize, clean, and bring a happy and peaceful feeling to yourself once you’re finished.

Here are some ways you can go green while spring cleaning:
- Use green cleaning products. Your first step should be to use green cleaning products instead of traditional products that contain harsh chemicals. These products are better for your own health as well as the environment. This is because they’re non-toxic and are generally made from renewable resources. Also, remember, sometimes, water alone will do the job.
- Make your own cleaning products. You don’t even need to purchase “green” specific cleaning products. You can clean just as well using homemade cleaning solutions made from baking soda and vinegar. They’re known as the ultimate all-purpose cleaners and can clean nearly any surface.
- Use essential oils, a wonderful way to spread uplifting care into your home with an organic fragrance. I like citrus oils for cleansing, especially in the kitchen.
- Air out your home. One of the easiest and best ways to bring a natural and clean feeling to your home is to simply air it out. This will flow out toxins and rejuvenate your home in a completely natural way. The best part: All you need to do is open the window!
- Keeping your air fresh. Do you use air fresheners to keep your house smelling nice? Rather than buying ready-made fresheners, you can go with something completely natural, instead. Herbs and plants give off pleasant odors. Smudging is a fabulous way to combine a good uplifting scent with spiritual and energetic cleansing. If you don’t feel too spiritual, you can bake often to bring some irresistible fragrance into your home.
- Use green cleaning services. Maybe you don’t always have time to complete your cleaning on your own, especially the deeper cleaning that’s usually associated with spring cleaning. Shop your local area for people advertising green cleaning services; it’ll take the work out of green cleaning for you and you know you’ll be doing the best thing for your home and family.
- Cleaning your furniture. You can even make your own wood cleaners and polish with healthy, natural ingredients. Use a combination of olive oil and lemon juice to clean and polish your wood furniture. This cleaner produces a shiny and pleasant smelling finish.
Going green with your spring cleaning is a great idea. You’re helping the planet, exposing yourself to fewer chemicals, and saving money at the same time. Oftentimes, it’s just best to go natural. Follow these tips to help you go green while you clean!
