Are you ready for spring cleaning?

Are you ready for spring cleaning?

Spring has sprung, and you know what that means: it’s time for a bit of spring cleaning! To help you get started, we made a list of locally-made, eco-friendly products—for effective spring cleaning that respects the environment.

WHY DON’T WE START IN THE KITCHEN?

As we go about our daily lives, the kitchen can sometimes get a little neglected. And with many still working from home, the kitchen might not always get as much attention as it should on a daily basis. Fortunately, there are many effective products that can help make your kitchen sparkle: 

• KLIIN Dish Cleaning Paste
  A natural and biodegradable formula for cleaning dishes, cooking surfaces, and the oven, while reducing water consumption.

• The Unscented Company Dish Tabs
  Ultra-concentrated, eco-designed tabs for dish washing.

• Twist & KLIIN Concentrated Cleaning Bio-Pods - All-Purpose Degreaser
  This powerful degreaser is perfect for cleaning your fridge or microwave.

• KLIIN The Essentials Collection (Green) 
  To prevent cross-contamination, use this cloth to clean your kitchen and all food preparation areas.

Key tasks: 

• Thoroughly clean the oven and microwave (“It looks like a bomb went off in here!”)
• Clean the oven hood and replace the filter if necessary. (i.e., it hasn't been changed since the Stone Age!)
• Get rid of expired food and clean out the refrigerator (“Oh, an old jar of jam that Grandma gave us at Christmas…”)
• Clean the inside and outside of the dishwasher
• Reorganize the pantry 

LET’S TACKLE THE BATHROOM NEXT

Even though we clean the toilet on a regular basis, other parts of the bathroom are sometimes overlooked—like the towels that have gone from white to gray, or your significant other’s beard hair that’s fallen under the sink…

Here are some products to help you freshen up your bathroom:

• Twist & KLIIN Concentrated Cleaning Bio-Pods - Bathroom
  An all-in-one solution that removes soap, dirt, and limescale build-up from urinals, toilets, baths, showers, faucets, and ceramic grout

  Practical for any task and hyper absorbent, you’ll want to have this on your team from start to finish!

  Ideal for cleaning the toilet with style and without getting your hands dirty 

• Kosmic Surf Pro Intelligent Sealer 
  To effectively protect ceramic grout!

• KLIIN The Essentials Collection for HIgh-Risk Areas (Red)  
  Because cleaning the fridge with the same cloth you use to clean the toilet isn’t smart cleaning! 

Key tasks:

• Thoroughly clean the bath, shower, and toilet
• Clean the mirror (can you even see yourself in it anymore?)
• Wash the towels, bath mat, and shower curtain
• Soak the toothbrush holder in cleaning solution
• Throw out old pill bottles or the 22 empty shampoo bottles sitting on the side of the bathtub

 

WE CAN’T FORGET ABOUT THE LIVING ROOM

After all those Netflix sessions, a deep cleaning is in order! Just think of all the crumbs left behind in the cracks of the couch after snacking, or how many of your kids’ fingerprints must be on the TV screen after watching Paw Patrol on repeat.

NOW, ONTO THE KIDS’ PLAYROOM

There are tons of germs on the toys we just love stepping on when we go to the bathroom in the dark at 2 o’clock in the morning.

Here’s a product that can help you: our All-Purpose Degreaser, which is non-toxic for children, pets, and the planet!

Key tasks: 

• Get your kids to go through their toys and give away the ones they don’t play with anymore (they’ll soon become the favorite toys of less fortunate children)
• Sort through and organize the ones that will be kept 

 

TO DO IN EVERY ROOM

Did you really think you’d get away with not touching the floors? Even though they’re washed pretty regularly, now is the time for a thorough cleaning of the floors in your home, taking care to move around the furniture. We bet you’ll find more than one thing you thought had gone missing. Also consider doing these tasks:

• Clean baseboards, light fixtures, and window treatments 
• Go through all of your things and give away or recycle items you no longer need
• Compost your end-of-life KLIINs and choose new ones to brighten up your home

CAN WE ALSO CLEAN FIDO?

While we’re on the subject of cleaning, why not take this opportunity to give your dog a bath to freshen him up for summer? For a shiny coat, choose Unscented Co.’s The Patch Dog Shampoo Bar. And to clean up after him at home? The Twist & KLIIN family has just expanded with the introduction of a new line of concentrated cleaning bio-pods for your pets: the Odor Absorber and the Fabric and Surface Cleaner.

CLEAN YOUR YARD AND POOL TO GET READY FOR SUMMER

Even April is a great time to get outside, you don’t want to leave the patio chairs in the shed for another weekend! To clean and maintain your patio set and pool area, simply use the All-Purpose Degreaser. once again. It’s truly magical how one product can do so much!
