Spring is in the air, and for most people, that means it’s time for a fresh start for their home with a little Spring cleaning spree. Opting for environmentally friendly cleaning solutions is a great way to embrace and welcome Spring as the season of renewal and growth. We've rounded up 5 environmentally friendly spring cleaning tips to help you achieve a sparkling clean home without compromising on sustainability.

1. Ditch the harsh cleaning products

Choose high-quality, environmentally friendly cleaning products that are tough on dirt but gentle on the planet instead of using harsh chemicals. Look for options that are environmentally friendly, and made from sustainable materials and ingredients.

2. Opt for quality multifunctional cleaning solutions

Simplify your spring cleaning routine by choosing products that serve multiple purposes. Look for cleaning solutions that can tackle various surfaces and materials. Not only will you reduce the number of cleaning products you need, but you'll also minimise your environmental footprint by using a single, versatile cleaner.

3. Invest in reusable cleaning tools

Swap out disposable cleaning tools like paper towels for reusable and durable alternatives. Consider using washable mop pads, microfiber cloths and other cleaning accessories that can be washed and reused. By making this switch, you'll cut down on waste and contribute to a more sustainable (and more cost-effective in the long run) cleaning approach.

4. Reduce, reuse, recycle

Spring cleaning often leaves us with items that we no longer want or need. Instead of throwing them away to add to landfill, consider donating or selling them instead. You can even repurpose old furniture, giving it a new lease on life if you’re looking for a new creative project to keep you busy. If you don’t already recycle in your household, now is a great time to start. 

5. Be mindful of water usage

Fill a bucket instead of letting the tap run continuously, and only use what you need. Consider cleaning products and accessories that don’t require copious amounts of water usage. Water is precious, and saving it during your cleaning routine is a small yet significant step toward a greener home this Spring.

Embrace these tips and make your home sparkle while contributing to a happier, healthier planet. Happy Spring cleaning!
