Ah Spring, the season of fresh starts and new beginnings! It is also the season of Spring Cleaning — and as good as a clean, tidy home can make you feel, the idea of doing all that cleaning can seem like an overwhelming, huge task to do. But there’s no need to stress or to put it off, because we’ve got you covered! 

We’ve got some helpful tips and tricks for you, to help you tackle your spring cleaning list this year. So get your pens out, it's time to start writing your Spring cleaning checklist, with these 5 helpful Spring Cleaning Tips — and get yourself ahead of the Spring Cleaning schedule! 

1. Make the Switch to All Natural Cleaning Products

A new season brings a fresh start — and since Spring is when we do the biggest deep clean of our homes in Canada, it’s the perfect time to make the switch to all natural, non-toxic home cleaning products. Many traditional home cleaning products contain chemicals that can create fumes and toxic air pollutants in our homes. And while you may be “cleaning” your home, you are actually exposing surfaces to toxic chemicals that can counteractively make you or your family sick. 

So kick your old cleaners to the curb, it’s time to “Spring Clean” them from your home. This year, get into the good habit of cleaning your home with ethical, environmentally friendly cleaning products that are safe for your health, your pets health, and the environment. Choose natural cleaning products from trusted eco-friendly brands like Mrs. Meyer’s, and method, which are all made from safe, non-toxic, plant-derived ingredients — and come in Spring-fresh scents like geranium, and lemon. There’s an all-natural cleaning solution for every room and task; from your kitchen floors, to the tiles in your shower and bathtub, and even your dirty laundry and dirty dishes! You’ll love just how effective these brands are at keeping your home clean, and also safe, that we know you won’t ever go back to your old home cleaners again!

2. Create a Schedule to Tackle Your Spring Cleaning List

Spring Cleaning can be an overwhelming task to tackle! The best way to tackle your Spring Cleaning is to organize yourself first by making a cleaning list of all the things that you need to get done. Schedule tasks and duties based on each room in your home, and do your Spring Cleaning room by room to be the most effective. You can also assign each room a priority, so you know which areas you need to clean first. If you have anyone else in your household who is old enough to contribute to the cleaning, get them involved as well to help scratch tasks off your Spring Cleaning to-do list! Having a plan for your Spring Cleaning can make the job seem less daunting and will leave you feeling organized. A Spring Cleaning checklist can be a helpful way to make your Spring Cleaning quick and effective.

3. Invest in a Natural, Heavy-Duty All-Purpose Cleaner

You’ll be surprised with what an all-purpose cleaner can do; and all the things in your home you can clean with just one bottle! We believe that every home needs an all-purpose cleaner, since it’s the easiest and most efficient way to tackle general cleaning tasks — but because you’ll be using it for multiple surfaces and areas of your home, it's important to make sure that the all-purpose cleaner you choose is effective, while also being safe, natural and non-toxic as well. 

4. Have the Right Tools to Clean Your Home

In order to truly and effectively tackle your Spring Cleaning To-Do List, you need to be prepared, not just with the right home cleaning products but with the right cleaning tools as well. That’s where Full Circle comes into play! This eco-friendly, affordable home care brand has carefully crafted their products from recycled, sustainable materials, like bamboo! With their ergonomic design, functionality and affordability, Full Circle can help you clean your home effectively and efficiently. With everything from a BPA-free dustpan to compostable waste bags to glass reusable spray bottles, there isn’t a task on your Spring Cleaning List that Full Circle can’t assist you with! 

5. Buy some Air-Purifying Houseplants to Clean the Air in your Home

Hit that refresh button – clean the air in your home, naturally and safely! Adding some greenery and houseplants to various areas of your home is another effective way to clean and purify the air in your home. This is because plants are natural air purifiers, which can reduce the amount of pollutants and toxins in your home, caused by many common household items, including your living room rug, gas stove, wallpaper, and furnace, to name a few. In the Winter months we often have our windows closed as well, and so air circulation is reduced, causing the pollutants in our home to build up. Some great air-purifying plants to add to your home that are also pet-friendly include the aloe vera plant and the spider plant. According to a study conducted by NASA, it is recommended to have one houseplant per 100 square feet of your home! And while we suggest buying houseplants as a tip for Spring Cleaning, it is a good idea to have them in your home year round! They also add some vibrant greenery to your space as well.

6. Implement a Good Cleaning Routine Year Round

Now, just because you tackled your Spring Cleaning, it doesn't mean the work stops there! Keeping your home clean year round is important too and that starts with implementing a cleaning schedule. Scheduling chores throughout the week or keeping up with certain cleaning tasks, can minimize the amount of work you have to do on the weekends. Getting into a good cleaning routine and developing efficient cleaning habits is an effective way to keep yourself on track of your cleaning tasks, while also minimizing the amount of cleaning you have to do in general. Staying on top of your home cleaning is the best way to ensure you have a fresh, clean home year round.
