#springcleaning #cleaningchecklist #Cleanhome

We know—summer gets crazy. Between road trips, cookouts, kids at home, or just trying to stay cool and caught up, the last thing on your mind might be deep cleaning.

But that doesn’t mean your home has to fall apart. Even in the most chaotic seasons, you can keep your space feeling fresh, calm, and clean—with just a few simple, non-toxic swaps.

At Salt + Sage Co., we make it easy with effective, safe cleaning products that help you stay on top of the mess without adding more stress (or chemicals).

Here are some quick room-by-room suggestions to help you stay refreshed through the summer rush—no harsh cleaners or complicated routines needed.

🛋️ Living Room: Air it Out, Wipe it Down

Your living space is where the dust settles—and summer airflow means pollen, dander, and who-knows-what drifting through open windows.

What to Clean:

• Dust blinds, ceiling fans, baseboards, and light fixtures

• Vacuum under the couch, under rugs, and between cushions

• Sanitize high-touch areas: remotes, light switches, door handles

Salt + Sage Co. Solutions:

• Spray down surfaces with our Multi-Purpose Spray (safe for wood, laminate, and electronics if used on a cloth!)

• Place a Reed Diffuser in your main living area for a steady, natural scent

• Drop a Wax Melt in your warmer—our soy blend is free of parabens and phthalates, and fills the room with cozy freshness

🌿 DIY Carpet Deodorizer: Mix 1 cup baking soda + 15 drops essential oil in a jar. Sprinkle on carpets, let sit 15 minutes, then vacuum.

🍽️ Kitchen: Clean Where You Cook

The kitchen is where function meets mess—grease, crumbs, and bacteria love to hide here.

What to Clean:

• Degrease stovetops, backsplash, and range hood

• Deep clean the microwave (bowl of vinegar + lemon slices, heat 2 min, then wipe!)

• Empty fridge and wipe all shelves with Multi-Purpose Spray

• Clean the inside of your dishwasher and sink

Salt + Sage Co. Solutions:

• Use our Block Dish Soap with a Palm Kitchen Brush to clean dishes, pans, and even stuck-on grease

• Wipe counters and appliances with our Multi-Purpose Spray in a citrus or mint scent for a bright, clean aroma

• Drop a Garbage Disposal Bomb into your sink to neutralize lingering odors and freshen drains

✨ Upgrade Tip: Swap paper towels for Turkish Kitchen Towels—they dry fast, look beautiful, and are endlessly reusable.

🛁 Bathroom: Natural Shine, No Toxic Fumes

Bathrooms are hotspots for mold, mildew, and strong chemical residue—time to clean smarter.

What to Clean:

• Scrub toilet bowl, rim, and tank

• Disinfect sink handles, toothbrush holders, and counters

• Wash shower curtains or wipe glass shower doors with a vinegar + water solution

• Mop floors and wipe baseboards

Salt + Sage Co. Solutions:

• Spray and scrub tubs, sinks, and tile with Multi-Purpose Spray + baking soda for extra grit

• Place a Reed Diffuser on your shelf or toilet tank to keep it smelling fresh all week

• Swap plastic soap bottles for our elegant glass foaming soap dispensers (bonus: they’re refillable!)

🛁 DIY Mold Fighter: Mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide + 1 part water in a spray bottle. Spray grout or corners and let sit before wiping clean.

🛏️ Bedroom: Create a Calming, Clean Space

Your sleep space should be your reset zone. A cleaner bedroom can reduce allergies and improve rest.

What to Clean:

• Wash bedding, duvets, and mattress protectors

• Wipe dressers, window sills, and mirrors with Multi-Purpose Spray

• Vacuum under the bed and behind furniture

• Declutter drawers, nightstands, and under-bed bins

Salt + Sage Co. Solutions:

• Use our wax melts in relaxing scents to shift the mood from chaos to calm

• Replace worn-out linens with a soft, luxurious Turkish towel draped over a chair or bedside table

🛌 DIY Linen Spray: Mix 1 part witch hazel, 2 parts distilled water, and 10–15 drops of essential oil in a 4oz spray bottle. Shake well before each use.
