Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home—and your health. From the mental health benefits of decluttering to ensuring you use pet safe cleaning products, this step-by-step spring cleaning guide will help both you and your furry friends feel happier, healthier, and more energized. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!
1. Declutter & Deep Clean for Mental Clarity
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.
Stress-reducing payoff
An organized space calms the mind and boosts focus.
Schedule a quick 15-minute weekly “declutter session” to maintain order.
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
Why it matters
Many conventional cleaners can trigger respiratory issues or skin irritation in pets.
Swap harsh chemicals for natural alternatives.
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.
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
Open up
Create cross-ventilation by opening windows on opposite sides of your home.
Aim for morning or evening when outdoor air is freshest.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
5. Non-Toxic Cleaning Solutions
Economical & effective
Vinegar, baking soda, and lemon are your spring cleaning dream team.
They tackle grease, odors, and stains without leaving behind harmful residues.
Quick recipes
All-purpose spray: 1 cup water + 1 cup white vinegar + 10 drops lemon essential oil.
Tub & tile scrub: ½ cup baking soda + a few sprays of vinegar to form a paste—scrub, then rinse.
Beyond basics
Invest in a plant-based enzymatic cleaner for pet accidents—these break down odors at the source.
6. Support Wellness During Spring Cleaning
Keep pets comfy
Use dog calming treats or our CBD Chews before you start noisy tasks like vacuuming or moving furniture.
Create a quiet retreat with their favorite bed and a puzzle toy.
You deserve a break too
Hydrate and snack on healthy bites between tasks.
Combat stress with Mag Threonate, our brain-supporting supplement designed to help you stay calm and focused.
Reward & restore
After a productive cleaning session, treat your pet to a Beef Heart Treat or Salmon Skin Treat to support joint and skin and immune health.
For yourself, unwind with a cup of herbal tea and our Mushroom Complex to promote health and relaxation.
