Kimi Brink • October 13, 2023

Hey there, new homeowners, and congratulations on your fresh slice of the real estate pie! Moving into a new abode is a thrilling journey, and what better way to start than with a clean, natural slate. We're here to sprinkle some green cleaning magic your way. Let's make your new nest sparkling clean, the au natural way!

Begin with a Blank Canvas: The Power of Deep Cleaning

Before you start arranging your furniture, let's get down and dirty, but in a good way! A deep clean sets the stage for a fresh beginning. Dust nooks and crannies, wipe down surfaces, and mop the floors. Your new home will thank you.


The Essentials: Building Your Natural Cleaning Arsenal

Stock up on natural cleaning heroes:

  • Baking Soda: A deodorizer, scrubber, and all-around cleaning wonder.
  • Vinegar: The go-to for tackling hard water stains and grease.
  • Lemon: A natural disinfectant that leaves a delightful scent.
  • Essential Oils: Choose your favourite for an aromatic, antibacterial boost.


Let's Talk Floors: Floor-ious Cleaning Adventures

Different flooring, different love. For wood, use a mixture of water and a few drops of dish soap. For tiles, a vinegar-water mix works wonders. And for carpets, sprinkle baking soda, let it sit, and then vacuum for a refreshed feel.


Windows to the World: A Streak-Free Vision

No one likes streaky windows. Mix water and vinegar, grab a sponge, and make those windows shine. It's like giving your home a clear view of the world!


Embrace DIY All-Purpose Cleaners: Magic in a Spray Bottle

Whipping up your all-purpose house cleaner is like being a home chemist, minus the safety goggles. Combine water, vinegar, and a few drops of your favorite essential oil in a spray bottle. Voila! Spray and wipe your way to a clean home.


The Art of Decluttering: Less Stuff, Less Fuss

A new home is a chance for a fresh start. Declutter and donate what you don’t need. Less stuff means less to clean, and that’s a win in our books!


Nature’s Deodorizer: Hello, Fresh Air

Open those windows and let nature refresh your home. Plants are natural air purifiers too. Plus, they look pretty darn good!


Make It a Routine: A Clean Home is a Happy Home

Set up a cleaning routine to maintain that sparkling new-home feel. A little house cleaning regularly will save you from overwhelming cleaning sessions later.


Happy Home, Happy You!

In today's world, there's a growing awareness of the importance of eco-friendly practices in every aspect of our lives, including cleaning our homes. Traditional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to both our health and the environment. Fortunately, there are plenty of natural alternatives that are just as effective at keeping our homes clean and sparkling. In this blog, we'll explore 10 eco-friendly cleaning hacks that will help you achieve a pristine home while minimizing your carbon footprint. Vinegar and Water All-Purpose Cleaner: Vinegar is a versatile and powerful natural cleaner that can tackle a wide range of household messes. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle to create a simple yet effective all-purpose cleaner. Use it to clean countertops, sinks, and even floors. Baking Soda Scrub: Baking soda is another eco-friendly powerhouse when it comes to cleaning. Make a paste by mixing baking soda with a small amount of water, and use it to scrub away stains and grime from surfaces like sinks, bathtubs, and tile grout. Its gentle abrasiveness makes it perfect for tough cleaning jobs without harming surfaces. Lemon for a Fresh Scent: Lemons not only smell delightful but also have natural antibacterial properties, making them ideal for cleaning. Cut a lemon in half and use it to scrub and deodorize cutting boards, microwave interiors, and stainless steel surfaces. The citric acid in lemons helps break down grease and grime while leaving behind a fresh, citrusy scent. Essential Oils for Fragrance and Disinfection: Essential oils such as lavender, tea tree, and eucalyptus not only add a pleasant fragrance to your cleaning products but also boast antimicrobial properties. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to homemade cleaners to enhance their disinfecting power while creating a personalized scent for your home. Microfiber Cloths for Dusting: Ditch disposable paper towels in favor of reusable microfiber cloths for dusting and wiping surfaces. Microfiber cloths are highly effective at trapping dust and dirt without the need for chemical cleaners. Simply dampen the cloth with water or your favorite natural cleaning solution and watch it effortlessly pick up debris. White Vinegar for Hard Water Stains: Hard water stains can be stubborn to remove, but white vinegar can come to the rescue once again. Soak a cloth or paper towel in vinegar and wrap it around faucets or showerheads affected by hard water buildup. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then scrub away the stains with a brush. The acidity of the vinegar helps dissolve mineral deposits, leaving fixtures shiny and clean. Hydrogen Peroxide for Mold and Mildew: Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic that can effectively kill mold and mildew without the harsh fumes of chlorine bleach. Spray hydrogen peroxide directly onto moldy surfaces in the bathroom or kitchen and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping clean. For stubborn stains, scrub gently with a brush before rinsing. Steam Cleaning for Carpets and Upholstery: Steam cleaning is a chemical-free and eco-friendly way to deep clean carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Invest in a steam cleaner or rent one from your local home improvement store to sanitize and refresh fabrics using only water vapor. Steam cleaning not only removes dirt and stains but also kills dust mites and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. Reusable Spray Bottles: Instead of buying single-use plastic spray bottles for your homemade cleaning solutions, opt for durable and reusable glass or plastic spray bottles. Simply refill them with your favorite eco-friendly cleaners whenever needed, reducing plastic waste and saving money in the long run. Sustainable Cleaning Tools: Choose cleaning tools made from sustainable materials such as bamboo, recycled plastic, or natural fibers like cotton or hemp. From scrub brushes to sponges to mop heads, there are plenty of eco-friendly options available that are just as effective as their conventional counterparts. In conclusion, keeping your home clean and sparkling doesn't have to come at the expense of the planet or your health. By incorporating these 10 eco-friendly cleaning hacks into your routine, you can enjoy a pristine living space while reducing your environmental footprint and exposure to harmful chemicals. Embrace the power of natural ingredients and sustainable practices for a healthier home and a greener planet.
