The Ultimate Guide to Spring Cleaning - Naturally!
Spring is here – and so is the perfect excuse to throw open the windows, let the sunshine in, and give your home a fresh start. But a true spring clean doesn’t need to rely on harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances. This year, why not embrace a cleaner, greener way to refresh your space?
Here’s your step-by-step guide to spring cleaning naturally – Aussie style!
1. Start with a Clear-Out
Before you even touch a spray bottle, start by decluttering. Donate or recycle what you no longer need – the less you own, the less you need to clean!
2. Open the Windows & Air It Out
Fresh spring air is the simplest, most natural deodoriser. Open every window you can to release stale winter air.
3. Choose Natural Cleaners
Switch to plant-based, non-toxic cleaning products. Brands like Koala Eco, Abode, and Euclove are packed with Aussie-grown ingredients that cut through grime without the chemical overload.
4. Dust From Top to Bottom
Start with ceiling fans, light fixtures, and shelves – work your way down to minimise re-cleaning.
5. Refresh Your Floors Naturally
Use natural floor cleaners like Euclove or Koala Eco. Microfibre or reusable cloths (like Cleanlife’s range) help reduce waste.
6. Deep-Clean the Kitchen
Focus on hidden grime zones: fridge shelves, pantry corners, and oven racks. Use multi-purpose sprays from OurEco or Natural Value sponges for a gentle scrub.
7. Rejuvenate the Bathroom
Tackle soap scum with natural bathroom cleaners, and use essential oil sprays to refresh the space without overpowering chemicals.
8. Freshen Your Fabrics
Wash curtains, cushion covers, and linens with Enviroclean laundry liquids. Add a splash of white vinegar for an extra freshness boost.
9. Compost, Don’t Toss
Use Retrokitchen compostable sponge cloths and Natural Value sponges – they can go straight into your compost bin after their life cycle.
10. Add a Finishing Touch
Once everything is sparkling, bring in a natural room spray or essential oil blend to give your home that final fresh, spring-ready feel.
