Autumn Glow: Your Ultimate Fall Cleaning Guide
As the days get shorter and nesting instincts kick in, it’s a perfect time to move through a cleaning checklist to get your home polished, cozy, and ready for the cooler months ahead. Deep-cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore, and it doesn’t have to be full of toxins. The powerful natural ingredients in our Healthy Home products make tidying up a breeze without harsh chemicals and irritants.
Here are our tips for a simple yet effective Fall Refresh:
Step 1 : Declutter Your Spaces
Sort through summer clothes, outdoor gear, and toys. Pass along the joy by donating what you no longer need (we love supporting our local women’s shelters and thrift stores).
Step 2 : Deep Clean Key Areas
Kitchen: thoroughly clean the oven, microwave, and fridge, including behind and under appliances. Complete and Clobber make it a breeze!
Bathroom: scrub tiles, grout, and sinks. Wash shower curtains and bath mats, finishing with a spritz of Crisp for an invigorating scent and to deter winter pests. Clean out your medicine cabinets and toss old toiletries.
Living room & bedrooms: Wash throw blankets, curtains and bedding, and vacuum mattresses and upholstered furniture. Spritz with Fresh to neutralize odors and scent with patchouli, lemon, and clove.
Air quality: change air filters and deep clean humidifiers and diffusers before infusing your spaces with one of our diffusing oils. We love Spiced Earth’s warm notes of pine and clove for these cozy months.
Windows: Clean inside and outsides of windows with Clear (don’t forget to wash those screens!) and enjoy the fall colors through your crystal-clear views.
Step 3 : Finishing Touches
Swap out summer décor for fall-themed items like pumpkins, cozy blankets, and autumn-colored accents. We especially love an extra-chunky throw blanket like this one from Sage & Sill, and these adorable fall gnomes.
Outside, add a fall wreath to your door (we love this DIY version from Making Home Pretty), and extra outside lighting for shorter days and dusky evenings.
