1. Declutter & Deep Clean for Mental Clarity

1. Zone-by-zone approach

   • Break your home into focused areas: closet, kitchen cabinets, home office.

   • Ask: “Does this item serve me or bring me joy?”

   • Donate, recycle, or discard instead of letting clutter pile up.

2. Stress-reducing payoff

   • An organized space calms the mind and boosts focus.

   • Schedule a quick 15-minute weekly “declutter session” to maintain order.

3. Product tip

   • Fuel your productivity with Activ Multi V. This daily multivitamin supports energy, focus, and stress balance—so you can power through your spring cleaning with ease.

2. Pet-Safe Cleaning Practices

1. Why it matters

   • Many conventional cleaners can trigger respiratory issues or skin irritation in pets.

   • Swap harsh chemicals for natural alternatives.

2. Top DIY recipes

   • Vinegar + Water: Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Great for counters, floors, and windows—safe to use around curious noses and paws.

   • Baking Soda + Lemon: Sprinkle baking soda on upholstery or carpets, drizzle with lemon juice, let sit 10 minutes, then vacuum. An odor-fighting, antibacterial duo.

3. On the market

   • Look for certified pet safe cleaning products that list their ingredients.

   • Keep a labeled “pet zone” basket of non-toxic sprays and microfiber cloths for quick spot-cleaning.

3. Refresh Indoor Air Quality

1. Open up

   • Create cross-ventilation by opening windows on opposite sides of your home.

   • Aim for morning or evening when outdoor air is freshest.

2. Filter swap

   • Replace HVAC filters every 1–3 months—ideally with a HEPA option to trap dust, pollen, and pet dander.

   • Set a calendar reminder: “Change air filter” to keep it on schedule.

3. Go green

   • Add air purifying houseplants like spider plants, Boston ferns, and bamboo palms.

   • They absorb VOCs (formaldehyde, benzene) and release fresh oxygen—all safe for pets.

     
     

4. Organize Your Pet’s Essentials

1. Sort & store

   • Empty out totes or closets where you stash leashes, toys, and grooming tools.

   • Discard broken toys; donate gently used items you no longer need.

2. Dedicated stations

   • Install wall hooks by the door for collars, harnesses, and leashes.

   • Use clear bins or labeled baskets for toys, treats, and grooming supplies—no more rummaging!

3. Freshen up

   • Wash bedding, blankets, and soft toys with a pet-safe detergent.

   • Sanitize food and water bowls weekly using a mild, non-toxic cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution.

4. Supplement support

   • Keep your pup’s gut happy after all that activity with Probiotic Chews. These support digestion and immune health—perfect for pets on the move.

   • Tub & tile scrub: ½ cup baking soda + a few sprays of vinegar to form a paste—scrub, then rinse.

3. Beyond basics

   • Invest in a plant-based enzymatic cleaner for pet accidents—these break down odors at the source.
