Eco-Friendly Spring Cleaning: 9 Natural Solutions for a Healthier Home

Spring is in the air and that means it’s officially time to fling open the windows, crank the feel-good tunes, and give your home the fresh start it deserves! But hold up... before you reach for that chemical-laden cleaner with a scent called something suspicious like “Ocean Breeze Lightning Storm,” let’s talk!

Because guess what? You do NOT need toxic sprays, eye-watering fumes, or sketchy “fragrance” ingredients to get your home sparkling clean.

In fact - you can clean your entire house with simple, powerful ingredients you probably already have in your pantry (hi vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice) plus a few drops of essential oils that smell like a literal spa day!

As someone who's been living the crunchy-clean life for 20+ years (and loving every drop of lavender oil along the way), I can promise you: natural cleaning is not only doable - it's delightful! You're cutting down on indoor air pollution, protecting your family from hormone-disrupting chemicals, and creating a home that feels cleaner in every way.

So today, I’m giving you a full-on Eco-Friendly Spring Cleaning Game Plan - packed with natural solutions, essential oil cleaning hacks, and homemade recipes that’ll make your home feel fresh, clean, and totally chemical-free!
