Fall is the perfect time to prepare your home for a clean & cozy winter, holiday season and to complete household chores that may have been replaced by much needed summer vacations. What better way to start your fall cleaning with DIY natural cleaning recipes?!

It’s important to maintain sustainable practices when it comes to choosing cleaning products for your home. Ditch the harsh chemicals, and utilizing ingredients you may already have in your home; it’s a great way to practice zero waste. We love using Swedish Dishcloths, as well as our LCD Napkins and Tea Towels to help us when cleaning.

Take advantage of the mild weather as autumn makes its 2021 debut; begin your fall cleaning with those outdoor tasks and move indoors as the weather continues to cool. Getting those seasonal chores out of the way now, to enjoy a snug winter season.
