I love Spring, it is one of my favorite seasons!
Spring is a time for renewal. When everything starts turning green, the flowers bloom, you can hear the birds outside your window!
It also is a time when I start feeling the need to open all the windows and clean my entire house from top to bottom! I love letting the outside world come in!
What is your favorite thing about Spring?
I also love to clean with products that make me feel good and that are not making my body have to fight to stay healthy when I use them. That is why I use the cleaners I use. Here are some of my favorite recipes for cleaning in my home.

Most things I just use the Thieves Household cleaner, 1 capful in a Spray bottle. If its heavy grease I will mix it much stronger. For my shower I always go in and spray it down and leave it while I do something else. Then I go back in and spray again and scrub with a scrubber or wipe down depending on how long since my last cleaning!
Happy Oiling,
Anna
