It doesn’t take much time or effort to rid your home of stale air and reinvigorate it with a fresh, clean scent. In fact, it’s quite easy and affordable. Here are natural ways to make your home smell like spring.
Breathe new life into your home by opening the windows for 20 minutes a day. This simple action will immediately make rooms feel less stuffy, reduce indoor air pollution, and infuse your home with light, breezy energy. Just be sure to check your local air quality index first and keep the windows closed on high pollen or poor air quality days.
Nothing brightens a room quite like a bouquet of fresh flowers. Even better, flowers double as a natural way to scent your home. Shop local by picking up a bouquet or two at the farmers market, then divide them up into smaller arrangements in your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Look for fragrant varieties like roses, lilies, daffodils, sweet peas, peonies, lavender, and lilac.
Most people associate simmer pots with fall or winter, but they’re an easy and natural way to fill your home with the aroma of spring, too. To make a simmer pot, fill a small saucepan with water, then add fresh herbs and citrus of your choosing. We recommend a few sprigs of rosemary, lavender, three to four slices of lemon, and a dash of vanilla extract. But feel free to experiment and create your own recipe.
Cleaning regularly is one of the best ways to keep your home smelling fresh and clean. But if a calming, spring scent (sans toxins) is what you’re after, use Truly Free Home Lavender Everyday Cleaner to spruce up the house. Unlike most lavender scented cleaners on the market, our non-toxic formula gets its uplifting, soothing aroma from a blend of essential oils, including lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, and spearmint. Plus, its coconut- and sugar-derived cleaning agents—like alkyl polyglucoside and coco-bentaine—are safe to use on tons of surfaces in every room.
Beyond its calming, unmistakably floral scent, there are good reasons lavender is often used in cleaning products.
For starters, lavender is known for its ability to reduce stress and promote relaxation. So when you clean with a lavender-scented formula, you're not just tidying up your home, you're creating a calmer environment in the process. That's a win any day of the week, but especially during the chaos of a spring cleaning session.
Lavender also blends beautifully with other botanicals. In Truly Free Home Lavender Everyday Cleaner, it works in harmony with eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, and spearmint to create a layered, complex scent that's fresh without being overwhelming. And because our Lavender Everyday Cleaner gets its scent from essential oils rather than harsh fragrance blends, you don’t have to worry about phthalates, formaldehyde, or benzene lurking in the formula.
If you haven't tried it yet, there's no better time than spring. Add Lavender Everyday Cleaner to your routine and transform daily chores into a moment of self-care.
