Spring Cleaning Tips
You might not be ready for Spring cleaning, but Spring is here for you. Here in Texas it is 75 degrees and sunny today. I can hardly wait to get outside and take a walk by the Guadalupe River. But first, I’m going to do a little tidying up around the house. Hence, how this blog came about. I thought I’d share my favorite cleaning recipes with you. If you’re not already a member of Young Living and have their Thieves Household Cleaner, go ahead and contact me and I’ll help you get your hands on a bottle of it today. My number is 833-357-5777.
Ok, so if I may ask, just to get you thinking a little bit … and ps, give your self a break, don’t be too hard on yourself, because I’m sure you’ve had a full week just like me and you may not have had time or made time to prepare for this pop quiz 😉
What does your house look like? Is it nice and clean and dusted and floors mopped? Or is there dirt and dust in some unwanted places? How about your counter tops. Are they sticky or crumby and need a good wipe down? How about your stove. All good to go, or does it need some scrub-a-dub-dub TLC? How about the smell in your home overall. It is fresh and springy, or could use a good dose of air freshener?
Let’s get into some bathroom talk now. What’s the state of your shower? Any unwanted grey/black stuff growing in the cracks or on the sower curtain (a good sign on mold)? How about your toiled, sinks, floor, etc?
My bathroom is a little icky right now, booo! So I’ll be hitting it hard with my spray bottle of diluted Thieves Household Cleaner soon.
If you’re a seasoned Thieves user, you probably know these tips already, although for the sake of time and ease, I just wanted to share the many ways I use it. Feel free to share this blog with your friends and family!!
I know, cleaning doesn’t sound fun, not even to me most of the time. However, your home thanks you each time you tend to it. Did you know that clutter steels much-needed energy from your surroundings and even impacts your own energy and psyche? It’s true.
