Focus On Comfort
Summer is all about staying cool and comfortable. Simple changes, like using light-colored curtains, can help reduce the amount of heat that enters your home. You can also switch to bamboo sheets, which are cooler and more breathable than traditional cotton sheets. Another great tip is to install ceiling fans in every room. Not only do they help keep your home cool, but they can also reduce your energy costs.
Cleaning
Summer is also a time for deep cleaning. But before you reach for those toxic cleaning products, consider using natural alternatives. For example, you can mix vinegar and water to create an all-purpose cleaner, or use baking soda to clean your kitchen and bathroom. Be sure to avoid harsh chemicals as they can be harmful to your health and the environment.
Hypoallergenic Space
Allergies can be a nuisance during the summer, so creating a hypoallergenic space is essential. Start by decluttering your home, as dust and mold can build up in hidden areas. Switch to air purifying indoor plants like snake plant, bamboo palm, and spider plant. These plants not only help purify the air, but they also add a touch of greenery to your home. You can also invest in a HEPA filter which keeps the air free of allergens.
Keep It Natural And Chemical Free
Did you know that indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air? This is because many household items contain harmful chemicals. To keep your home natural and chemical-free, switch to eco-friendly products like bamboo, aloe vera and natural and chemical free ingredients in your bedding, mattresses, furniture, toothbrushes, reusable cloth napkins, and beeswax wraps. You can also invest in a water filtration system to ensure that the water you consume is clean and pure.
Clutter-Free
Lastly, keep your home clutter-free. Summer is a time for relaxation and rejuvenation, and a cluttered home can cause stress and anxiety. Take some time to go through your belongings and get rid of anything that no longer serves a purpose. You can also invest in storage solutions to keep your home organized and tidy.
Preparing your home for summer can be a fun and rewarding experience. By focusing on comfort, cleaning, creating a hypoallergenic space, keeping it natural and chemical-free, and clutter-free, you can create a beautiful and eco-friendly home. Remember, small changes can make a big difference. Let's make our home a place where we can thrive and enjoy the summer season to the fullest!
