Spring Cleaning- National Chore Or Soul Holiday?
Lambs are a'leaping, birds are a'chirping….. and I am a’cleaning! I don’t know about spring being in the air, dust is what’s filling my air right now. This is because I am one of the millions of women around the world who buys into this whole ‘spring cleaning’ malarkey. And to be honest, I very much enjoy it. It’s true! The opportunity to spend hours on end in my humble abode scrubbing and toiling away with my favourite 'Ladies Night' CD's blaring out ….... trust me, it’s incredibly therapeutic and highly underrated.
Think about it, we spend an awful lot of time grooming, what with our hair, makeup, nails etc. I’m not implying it’s all for the benefit of the opposite sex but ultimately it is so that we don’t look like crazy, hairy, urban dwelling cave women. Am I right? Now, the amount of time you spend on the upkeep of your home is for the benefit of whom? Your house guests? Sure, but who is it that spends the most amount of time in your home? Who eats, rests and sleeps there? Whose sanctuary is it? Yours of course! And why wouldn’t you want for your home to be gorgeous? You deserve to reside in a home, not just a house. Not that the only way to show your home a little love is to clean it, this is only my opinion and I am a bit of a neat freak. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind untidy just not unclean. Nothing gives me as much pleasure as waking up to a beautifully clean house. It’s wonderful! It also makes me seem a little sad so I’m told, but hey, I am who I am. And I am the kind of person that gets excited by new & bespoke cleaning items so when our new line of environmentally sound cleaning products arrived in store last week, needless to say, I was thrilled!
Isabella Smith Apothecary is a Danish Company devoted to creating and marketing biodegradable cleaning products & toiletries that are both safe for the environment and the people who use them. That’s you and me my friend! Their range of cleaning products is called ‘Maison Belle’. They’re made from natural ingredients whenever possible and fragranced with fresh smelling essential oils. Recommended by The Times, not only do they get the job done, they’re also packaged in recyclable PET bottles. Smart stuff huh?
….floor cleaner in Orange, Lavender & Cloves….
…and toilet cleaner, also in Lemon & Mint.
Further more, we have products that are kitchen, dishes and sink specific as well as an all purpose cleaner available in 2 different fragrances. After all of that scouring and before you settle down with a cup of tea, you’ll need to wash your hands no doubt. How do the hand wash and hand cream tickle your fancy in delicious Grapefruit & Lemon?
You see? Cleaning doesn’t have to be tedious. Instead think of it as a bit of chicken soup for the soul; soothing. I dare you not to put your feet up after you’ve finished with a cup/glass of your chosen beverage, look around you and feel a sincere sense of accomplishment. Goodness even! I am of the school of thinking that in order to be a Domestic Goddess, you don’t have to cook AND clean well. One or the other will do just fine.
