End-of-Spring Cleaning Time!

This weekend is a good time to tackle spring cleaning before spring is over. Spring clean your home with vinegar, baking soda, borax, and essential oil recipes to refresh your home's environment after the cold winter months. Before the heat of summer hits us, clean out every room in your house.

Wash all curtains, pillows, and shampoo your rugs.

Mix 1 cup of vinegar with 1 gallon of water for an instant glass cleaner. Clean the mirrors, windows and glass surfaces of your home.

Mix 1 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup borax, 1/4 cup vinegar, and 2 gallons of water. Add a few drops of essential oils--peppermint, sage, ylang ylang, orange, lemon, lavender or eucalyptus--and mix well. Pour into a spray bottle and another container. Use this as an all-purpose cleaner for your home. Clean your walls, ceilings, floors and surfaces with this homemade mixture.

Open the windows! Let the fresh, spring air flow through your home.

Fill a spray bottle with water and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Add 7 to 10 drops of an essential oil. Choose one that you will enjoy smelling in your home. After spring cleaning your home, spray this around your home and on the soft surfaces in your home.

So, before spring is over, spruce up your home with these simple cleaning recipes!
