Is it a fresh start following the\nhibernation and messiness of winter? An innate animalistic sense within us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turns out: yeah, kinda. Winter months mean\nless sunlight and more melatonin (the hormone that makes us feel sleepy and\nsluggish). As a result, we don\u2019t have the same pep in our step we do in spring.\nBut when the new season comes around, the days start getting longer and our\nenergy picks up, we look around and think, \u201cDang. This place is a mess!\u201d\n\nThus, we clean. And boy do we ever! According to\na<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleaninginstitute.org\/newsroom\/surveys\/2018-aci-national-cleaning-survey-results#:~:text=91%20percent%20of%20Americans%20and,the%20population%20never%20spring%20clean.&amp;text=60%20percent%20of%20the%20population,their%20home%20a%20thorough%20cleaning.\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleaninginstitute.org\/newsroom\/surveys\/2018-aci-national-cleaning-survey-results#:~:text=91%20percent%20of%20Americans%20and,the%20population%20never%20spring%20clean.&amp;text=60%20percent%20of%20the%20population,their%20home%20a%20thorough%20cleaning.\">survey from the American Cleaning Institute<\/a>, 91% of Americans and 96% of millennials engage in spring cleaning. Only 6%\nof the population never spring cleans. If you are one of the legions who believe\nin giving your home environment a fresh look and feel each spring, we\u2019ve got\nsome good spring cleaning tips\nfor upping your game and ensuring your cleaning is environmentally friendly. If\nyou are one of the 6%, it\u2019s about time to jump on this bandwagon!\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do, remember: how we spring clean is\nimportant. Bad habits have a negative environmental impact, like fuller\nlandfills and more chemicals in our ecosystems. Good spring cleaning habits can save the day,\nhowever, allowing us to feel good about cleaning our home and taking care of\nthe earth. Keep the following tips for spring cleaning in mind as you embark on this\ntime-honored seasonal tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sustainable Spring Cleaning:\n\u201cThere is No Away\u201d <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no away,\u201d is not only a quote from American critic Annie Leonard, but also useful approach for\nthinking about organizing your home during spring cleaning. The full quote is \u201cThere is no\naway. When you throw something away, it must go somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SpringCleaning_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19108\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Consider how cleaning materials and chemicals effect the environment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We tend to use spring cleaning as a time to get rid of a range of\n\u201cstuff\u201d we\u2019ve accumulated over the past few months. Exercise equipment we don\u2019t\nuse, old clothing, toys, and the list goes on. But, as Leonard reminds us,\neverything on that list goes somewhere, and adopting a curious mind about where\nthat somewhere is can help us take a whole new, environmentally-friendly\napproach to spring\ncleaning. Instead of kicking stuff to the curb and inevitably, the\nlandfill, ask yourself if you can reuse or repurpose something, repair it, or\nrecycle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reuse or repurpose<\/strong>: Can an item you might think of as junk\nserves another purpose and replace the need for a new item? Repurposing is not\nonly environmentally friendly; it\u2019s also trendy! Get creative with everything\nfrom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-home\/diy-projects\/20-creative-ideas-for-repurposed-plastic-containers\/\">plastic bottles<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-home\/diy-projects\/tips-to-upcycle-furniture-for-a-brand-new-look\/\">old furniture<\/a>. And\nif you don\u2019t have another use for an item, there is someone out there who does!\nMake a bit of extra dough by selling used items or donating them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Repair<\/strong>: If that vacuum isn\u2019t working or that toaster\nisn\u2019t popping or those favorite jeans have a hole in the knee, stop and take a\nmoment to learn some basic repairs rather than tossing any of the above into\nthe garbage. One 10-minute YouTube video can save you the money of a\nreplacement and keep those items out of our landfills. Plus, you\u2019ll learn a new\nskill and can feel extra proud of yourself!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SpringCleaning_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19106\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Take the things you&#8217;d normally toss and turn them into art!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Recycle<\/strong>: Hopefully, this is a no-brainer for most of\nus, but it bears repeating. Recycling is spring cleaning\u2019s best friend. Check out your\nlocal trash collection guidelines to ensure you are utilizing every bit of your\nrecycling service. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There Is Nothing Better than Homemade <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Store-bought cleaning products often contain\nharsh chemicals. Common chemicals like alkylphenols and their ethoxylates (APEs) are found\nin most cleaning solutions and are also present in our wastewater, drinking\nwater, air, and bodies. The presence of these chemicals raises questions about\ntheir safety for our families and the environment.<a href=\"https:\/\/toxicfreefuture.org\/key-issues\/chemicals-of-concern\/apes-troubling-bubbles\/\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/toxicfreefuture.org\/key-issues\/chemicals-of-concern\/apes-troubling-bubbles\/\">Studies show<\/a> APEs in our water\nharm the reproduction of fish and other wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SpringCleaning_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19109\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Did you know that you can create effective cleaning solutions with natural materials?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is to create your own (cleaning) solution. In this case,\nhomemade <em>is <\/em>better. Homemade cleaning\nsolutions are not only chemical-free, making them healthier for your home and\nthe environment, but they also help reduce plastic waste. Mix up your own\ncleaning products using glass or recycled plastic containers. Most of the\ningredients are things you already have in your pantry like vinegar, sea salt,\nand baking soda.

Just think about how many paper towels you use dusting those plantation blinds! Instead of paper, keep riding the repurposing train and convert old items into your tools of the trade. Have an old t-shirt you&#8217;re not using anymore? Cut it up. Bedsheets and towels are also fair game. Bonus: all of the above make a satisfying ripping sound as they are partitioned into appropriate cleaning-rag-sized squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are plenty of websites and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=making+your+own+cloth+rags&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS716US716&amp;sxsrf=APq-WBtCbmCm3xzTHCnKhQqyCPl4pMZW7w%3A1649703349350&amp;ei=tXlUYumGFbTH0PEP0oy12AU&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiptf3w14z3AhW0IzQIHVJGDVsQ4dUDCA4&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=making+your+own+cloth+rags&amp;gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgUIABCGAzIFCAAQhgMyBQgAEIYDMgUIABCGAzoECCMQJzoLCC4QxwEQrwEQkQI6BQgAEJECOgsIABCABBCxAxCDAToICC4QsQMQgwE6CAgAELEDEIMBOgQIABBDOgQILhBDOgoIABCxAxCDARBDOggILhDUAhCRAjoFCC4QkQI6BQgAEIAEOggIABCABBDJAzoFCAAQkgM6BAgAEAM6CwguEIAEELEDEIMBOhEILhCABBCxAxDHARCvARDUAjoLCC4QgAQQxwEQrwE6BwgAELEDEEM6CQguENQCEAoQQzoICC4QgAQQsQM6CwguEIAEELEDENQCOgUILhCABDoICC4QgAQQ1AI6CAgAEBYQChAeOggIIRAWEB0QHkoECEEYAEoECEYYAFAAWOoYYJ8daABwAXgBgAGmAYgBkg-SAQQyNC4ymAEAoAEBwAEB&amp;sclient=gws-wiz#kpvalbx=_nnpUYtbtFMLO0PEP8JOUqAU18\"> videos<\/a> teaching more elaborate approaches to recycle clothing and material into cleaning rags, don\u2019t feel the need to get too fancy. A scrap of old t-shirt cleans just as well if it doesn\u2019t have a tidy hem! Simply cut your item to accommodate the size you prefer. Socks are often a favorite repurposed cleaning tool. Beyond replacing paper products, you can also make your own<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myfrugalhome.com\/how-to-make-an-unsponge-reusable-sponge\/\"> sponges<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5vCi-phvGbg\"> dusters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SpringCleaning_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19110\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Using old towels and shirts as reusable cleaning rags is one way to cut down on paper waste.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There Is Power in\nNature<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We tend to overlook how natural elements can do things for us . . . and\nmuch more efficiently at that. Sunshine, wind, fresh air \u2013 all key forces we\nreplicate when drying our clothes in the dryer. On average, it takes ten\nminutes to hang a load of laundry on a clothesline and those ten minutes reduce\nyour annual household carbon footprint by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/reasons-to-line-dry-laundry-2145997\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/reasons-to-line-dry-laundry-2145997\">2,400 pounds<\/a>. Drying your\nclothes and linens outside has several other benefits, too, including odor\nreduction and fewer wrinkles. And if it worked for grandma, it can work for\nyou!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your agenda includes washing every linen in your home, use the\nfollowing spring cleaning checklist tips to incorporate air drying into your\nrepertoire:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SpringCleaning_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19104\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Consider hanging your clothes to dry in nicer months for a fresh smell and less of a footprint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>There Is a Shelf-Life for Every FilterGo straight from the washing machine to the clothesline<\/strong>: Letting items sit in the washing machine can produce a musty smell and make it tough to get rid of wrinkles. Avoid both by removing things from your washing machine right away and hanging them to dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get the right\nsupplies<\/strong>: First, get a backyard and hang a clothesline. Kidding! While a backyard\nis nice, there are other ways to air-dry your laundry and reduce your energy\nuse. You don\u2019t technically even need the outdoors. Check out a variety of\nindoor line-drying apparatuses such as racks or string a clothesline in your\nbasement or primary bath. If using a clothesline, think about clothespin\noptions. Standard wood clothespins are great and economical for everyday items.\nIf you are drying heavier pieces like blankets, stainless steel is a better\noption as it can hold more weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Know how to hang<\/strong>: How you hang\nclothes can make a big difference. After all, gravity plays a role in this!\nFirst, shake out the item to get rid of any wrinkles. Hang dress shirts and\nt-shirts upside down by the hem on each side and jeans by the ankles. Use three\nclothespins to hang towels (one in the middle) vertically to prevent the towels\nfrom getting a bit misshapen. As for bedsheets, fold them once over the laundry\nline and secure them with clothespins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There Is a Shelf-Life\nfor Every Filter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One oft-overlooked component of spring cleaning is appliance\nmaintenance. These days, many of our home appliances come with filters of the\nair or water variety. From dishwashers and garbage disposals to refrigerators\nand furnaces, filters keep our appliances running smoothly and efficiently\nwhich requires less energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing old filters each spring is a great practice (although be sure\nto check your appliances and update more frequently if necessary). You\u2019ll not\nonly be reducing your energy and emissions output, but you\u2019ll also be ensuring\nthe water and air throughout your home are cleaner. Now that feels springlike,\ndoesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring\ncleaning helps us feel more awake and organized after\nthe long months of winter. A practice so in tune with our planet\u2019s seasons\nshould in and of itself reflect our care for the environment. Adopting the tips\nabove will make your spring\ncleaning as friendly for the earth as it is for your peace of mind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Shared Annual Tradition: Spring Cleaning What is it about spring that makes us feel we have to turn our homes inside out, wipe down every surface, and purge each closet of two-thirds its contents?
