Spring Cleaning Reimagined: 5 Ways to Start an Eco-Friendly, Simple Cleaning Routine
Spring is here, and there’s nothing quite like the feeling of a freshly cleaned space. But sometimes, harsh chemicals, strong fragrances, plastic waste, and a cluttered cabinet full of supplies can ruin the mood.
Luckily, your spring cleaning routine doesn’t have to look like that!
At Scrappy’s Workshop, we believe in keeping it simple, joyful, and kind to the planet. Here are five easy ways to reimagine spring cleaning and create a more sustainable routine.
1. Ditch the paper towels
Our Swedish dishcloths are super absorbent, quick-drying, and endlessly reusable. They’re perfect for hardworking enough for washing dishes and wiping counters, absorbant enough fo rdrying up spills, and gentle enough for cleaning stainless steel appliances and mirrors.
While they might look unassuming, they can absorb up to 20x their weight in water. Just one dishcloth replaces 17 rolls of paper towels. They can be reused hundreds of times, wash clean in the dishwasher or washing machine, and last up to nine months.
Plus, they come in bright, cheery designs that make chores feel a little more fun. Our favorite part is picking out fun new designs. Come pick out yours today and add a little cheer to your cleaning routine!
2. Use natural cleaners
We stock all-natural, fragrance-free, refillable cleaning products that get the job done without the chemical cloud. They’re tough on messes, gentle on your skin, and safe for pets and kids.
Some customers have even told us that they “can’t stop cleaning their house” with our refillable all-purpose cleaning spray — perfect for countertops, stoves, floors, cutting boards, kitchens, bathrooms, greasy messes, and much more!
For tougher jobs that need a little grit and elbow grease, you can also consider our scour paste and miracle cleaning bombs.
3. Scrub smarter
Our wooden-handled scrub brushes now come with replaceable heads! That means your can scrub to your heart’s content. When the brush head starts to wear out, you can simply replace the head, rather than getting an entire new brush. They’re built to last and feel good in your hands.
Other favorites are all-natural loofah sponges, which are tough on grime and work harder than your typical plastic sponges.
4. Refill your supplies
Single-Use plastic containers are so yesterday. Instead of holding on to one more plastic tub, swearing you’ll reuse it, grab our jars of refillable laundry soap powder and dishwasher soap powder instead. You can refill them indefinitely in store, or find an actual use for your mason jar when you’re done.
With a touch of spring in the air, now is the perfect time to get rid of that backlog of laundry that’s been piling up, refresh your linens, and put away clean winter clothes and swap them for spring clothes. Pretty soon, maybe you can even dry your clothes outside on the line!
5. Get your home organized
If organizing is more your priority, we’ve got you covered there, too. Stock up on glass jars and containers to help organize your home. Whether you’re looking to store coffee beans, dry goods like pasta or specialty flours, dog treats, laundry soap, or any other household supplies, we might have the stainless steel or glass container for you.
