Spring Cleaning
Written by Kristal Moffett
This year I learned a wonderful new technique to help clean and freshen your living environment in a non toxic way. I tried this on my home a few weeks ago for the first time and loved the feeling it left in my house. My poor house had been slightly neglected and was feeling stagnant and blah. I decided that the house needed a scrub and tried a technique my doctor had mentioned to me, a wall washing. It was an absolute success!
To begin you will need:
- A bucket of water filled about half way up, add approximately 4 drops of lavender essential oil, 4 drops of lemon essential oil and approximately 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- A new soft mop top
Directions:
- You will want to remove all your art work, photos, textiles or any other items from your walls once you begin.
- Submerge your mop in the water and wring out completely.
- Lightly go over the walls in your home from top to bottom.
- My walls have milk based paint on them. If you have any finish other than standard paint, you will want to start with a small section and make sure the finish
- doesn’t discolor.
- I took my time and really thought about cleaning and clearing the space. The end result was an incredibly refreshed and renewed environment.
The perfect home pick-me up for Spring!!!
