Spring Cleaning Inside & Out

By:

Spring Cleaning Inside And Out Product Group

As the frost thaws and the days stretch longer, we instinctively reach for the vacuum and open the windows — but this year, the “deep clean” can go beyond the baseboards. Sometimes spring cleaning can be more than tidying your home; it can be a fresh look at the spaces around us and making intentional adjustments for the better. From swapping harsh chemical sprays for eco-friendly cleaners to purging the “digital dust” from your devices and expired clutter from your pantry, we’re hitting the reset button. By pairing these external shifts with internal TLC, such as detoxifying sips, targeted supplements, and the power of hydration and restorative sleep, you can cultivate wellness in the home and body you live in.

Probiotic Power

Gut Shot Drink, Mighty Dozen Drink, And Detox Gut Shot Drink

We’ve all heard that “health starts in the gut,” but keeping your microbiome in balance doesn’t have to be a chore. Probiotic drinks, functional juices, and concentrated gut shots are convenient (and tasty) ways to support your internal ecosystem. Try Farmhouse Culture’s beet kvass, a fermented, probiotic-rich drink that can aid in digestion and boost gut health, or grab a detoxing juice shot from So Good So You. Your insides will thank you for giving them a boost this spring.

Supportive Supplements

3-Day Cleanse Supplement, Greens Blend Supplement, And Vital Detox Supplement

If you’re inspired to take your internal “cleaning” a step further, consider heading to our wellness department and checking out one of our detox supplements. RenewLife has a short 3-day cleanse to try, while Vital Planet offers a 14-day capsule detox. Or perhaps you want to incorporate a gentle detox supplement into your daily life? Try Amazing Grass’ greens blend powder, which can be mixed with water or thrown into a morning smoothie. Our knowledgeable wellness staff are happy to help you find the right supplement, but please consult a healthcare professional before starting any new detox regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Breathe Easy

Komoni Room Spray, Pranarom Room Spray, And Pranarom Portable Diffuser

Winter can leave our rooms feeling stale and stagnant. Give your home immediate rejuvenation by opening several windows, even for a few minutes, when temperatures allow. Fresh air helps reduce airborne illness and brings the movement and energy of nature inside. You can also invest in an air purifier to reduce airborne pollutants and allergens. Afterward, spritz your room with a natural room spray to keep the room smelling and feeling fresh, like Pranarom’s room and linen stress relief spray for promoting peace and balance. Or invigorate your space with essential oil diffusers, beeswax candles, or a bouquet of fresh flowers from Len Bush.

Reset Your Pantry

Black Beans, Googles Mac 'N Cheese, And Tikka Masala

Take the time to check your fridge for expired items and your pantry for shelf-stable products you don’t think you’ll use. Consider checking what your nearest food shelf will accept and bringing over any unexpired items that can be redistributed into the community. Taking time to clear out unused items can help make choices easier and less overwhelming when it’s time to make a meal.

Swap Out Chemicals

White Vinegar, Sal Suds, And Dryer Balls

Many conventional cleaning products contain chemicals that can be harsh on your body. Now is the perfect time to switch to natural or eco-friendly cleaning supplies, like simple white vinegar that can cut through grease, remove mineral buildups, and is a natural deodorizer. Love the scent of a dryer sheet? Try throwing several wool dryer balls into your dryer instead and swap that synthetic fragrance with 4 – 6 drops of your favorite essential oil. These alternatives are not only better for your health, but they’re often more affordable and sustainable as well.

Digital Declutter

Laptop, Cell Phone, And Electronic Cords

We’re spending more and more of our day in digital spaces, which means that we should extend the same intention and care to these spaces as we do to our physical ones. So make sure to include digital spaces when you spring clean! This can include deleting unnecessary files, unsubscribing from promotional emails, unfollowing social media accounts, and even recycling old or broken devices. Practice limiting screen time, especially social media, to reduce mental clutter and be intentional about how you spend your time and energy.

Care for Your Body

Kleen Kanteen Water Bottle, Komoni Bath Salt, And Sleep Mask

Just as your home benefits from a spring cleaning, your body can too! Set aside time to take a relaxing bath with Komoni’s detox bath salt. Water is essential for flushing toxins from your body, so make it a habit to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially after a salt bath. Consider adding a slice of lemon, cucumber, or mint to your Klean Kanteen bottle to give the water some flavor. And remember that your body needs rest. Try to prioritize getting good sleep and keeping a consistent sleep schedule. We need time to recover and reset each day, and deep sleep helps us meet every day refreshed and rejuvenated.

This year, take your spring cleaning beyond mopping the floors and organizing your closet by refreshing and resetting your home and body for better health. By improving air quality, decluttering your spaces, and supporting your body, you’ll set yourself up for a vibrant and energetic spring season. So, as you roll up your sleeves for spring cleaning this year, remember that your well-being deserves just as much attention as your living space!

With these additional sustainable cleaning swaps and our recipes for natural cleaning, you’ll be ready for your greenest spring yet!
