Spring Cleaning Your Home the Right Way
Spring Cleaning. It’s one of my favorite times of the year. It started a few weeks ago with cleaning out our pantry and refrigerator. It continued last week with emptying out of basement. And this weekend I deep cleaned our kitchen. But here is the interesting part. Before I started the “deep cleaning”, I “spring cleaned my cleaning products” first.
How did I spring clean our cleaning products? I partnered with Open Nature™ household products and our local grocery store, Pavilions in South Pasadena, to replace my cleaning products with safer ingredients for our home and family. For a while, I have been looking for products that will still clean a tough mess but also be safe for our environment. I can’t tell you how happy I am with what I found!
Last week I received a large box appeared on my doorstep with an assortment of the the new line of Open Nature household cleaning and care products. As you can see from the box, you can find these products not only at Pavilions but also at any of the Albertson’s Companies family of stores including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, and Carrs/Safeway.
All of the Open Nature household cleaning products are dye free and never tasted on animals. They are biodegradable, fragrance free and perfume free, and are certified Safer Choice by the US EPA. Plus, all Open Nature products are made with 100% recycled paper.
The first thing I did to replace my old cleaning products was to empty out my vintage dishwashing soap bottle and fill it with the Open Nature fragrance free dishwashing liquid. I love the clear soap and love storing it next to our sink in my vintage bottle.
Doesn’t it look great here?
Of course the real test was how well the cleaning products worked. I spent about three hours cleaning the sinks, counters, cabinet fronts, and floor.
It was hard work but worth every second. And minute. And hour. I loved the lemon scent and the fact that my kitchen was not only super clean but it smelled amazing.
So I am completely convinced that these safer cleaning products are the way to go. I am only disappointed that it took me so long to make this change.
I hope you will seriously consider safer cleaning products for your home and family. Look for Open Nature household cleaning and care products at Pavilions or any of the Albertson’s Companies family of stores including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, and Carrs/Safeway.

This is such a helpful reminder to focus on one area at a time. I always used to get overwhelmed trying to tackle the whole house, but breaking it down by room has made a huge difference. I’m going to try your tip about starting with the least-used spaces first this year.
Retail therapy has evolved with the digital mirror , allowing shoppers to try on outfits without undressing. Using augmented reality, it superimposes clothing onto your likeness, letting you see how a jacket fits or how a shade of lipstick looks in seconds. This eliminates the hassle of physical changing rooms and expands inventory limits. It merges convenience with indulgence, turning the act of shopping into a seamless, interactive game of style exploration.
Such a great reminder about spring cleaning! I love the idea of starting with your cleaning products first.
