#1)  Bring some fresh plants and flowers into your home.

#2)  Open a window and allow those spring breezes to blow through your home.

#3)  Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down counters and walls.  Microfiber cloths are woven with many fibers per square inch and not only wipe away bacteria but also traps and pulls bacteria away from your home surfaces.

#4)  Wash forgotten items like throw blankets and pillows. If drying them in the dryer, add a drop of essential oil to wool dryer balls for a natural, clean scent.

#5)  Run vinegar through your coffee maker to make it sparkling clean.

#6)  Place lemon, ice, baking soda and vinegar in your garburator.  Let sit for 10 minutes and then switch on.

#7)  Use lemon essential oil as a natural furniture polish.

#8)  Add cinnamon, lemon, other fruits and spices to produce a nice smell in the air. Or use a diffuser and diffuse some of your favorite essential oils.

#9)  Mix vinegar and orange or lemon peels in a jar. Leave for a few days, and then use as a multipurpose cleaner around the house.

#10)  To wash your windows, mix equal parts of white distilled vinegar and warm water. Dry with a soft cloth for a streak-free shine!
