6 Green Spring Cleaning Tips to help organize and simplify your home...

TIP 1: Crush Clutter
Nothing creates a feeling of claustrophobia faster than too much stuff. Before you can clean anything, you have to get rid of some those unused items causing clutter. Consider donating it

TIP 2: Upgrade Your Cleaners
“Before you get all Martha Stewart all over your house, it’s a good idea to make sure your cleaners aren’t leaving a trail of air pollution and toxic residue behind,” advises Betsy of Eco-Novice.com. If the labels on your cleaning products say “harmful or fatal if swallowed” or “Danger: corrosive” you probably shouldn’t be spreading them around on the surfaces you, your family, and your food touch, every day. The good news is, it’s remarkably simple to make your own safe and effective cleaning products. 

TIP 3: Make Your Own Cleaning Equipment
No need to go out and buy a lot of disposable cleaning cloths and dusters. After all, they’re just going to get dirty, so why not upcycle them out of stuff you’ve already got lying around?

TIP 4: Prioritize Rooms
One thing is certain: if you try to cram all your spring cleaning into one day (or even one weekend) you’re going to be exhausted before you’re halfway through. Many people take a month-long approach to cleaning, focusing on the areas most in need of attention, and working their way backwards. Remember, we’re not talking about a quick pick up: Spring cleaning is about deep cleaning the nooks and crannies that are often overlooked.

TIP 5: Think Squeaky Clean Air
Even though they’re dirt’s favorite place to take a vacation, surfaces aren’t the only thing in your home that can be dirty. Indoor air pollution is a real problem in a world where chemicals abound. Blogger Lindsay Dahl has 10 tips for cleaning up indoor air, like changing your furnace filters and skipping the fabric softener.

TIP 6: Get Organized
Once everything’s been washed, wiped, and scrubbed squeaky clean, it’s time to get organized. Hopefully you’ve moved a lot of stuff out of its usual spot while cleaning, and the put-back process is a great time to develop a system that will keep everything orderly until the next big cleaning. The best way to get organized is to make sure everything has a place. Sometimes you have to create a place (like buying a bakers rack or making a shelf for your growing collection of spices), and sometimes you have to ask yourself whether things that don’t have a place should be kept around at all.

Great tip about making sure you target the rooms that are dirtiest. I need to get a cleaner for my living room. I can't keep up with cleaning it on my own.
