Spring is nature’s time for renewal and birth. Follow suit and give yourself a fresh start as well by following these green tips for spring-cleaning.

Lori Dennis, award-winning interior designer, owner of Lori Dennis Inc. and author of Green Interior Design, said these tips will give you a fresh start as well as improve your environment and personal health.

Vacuum and Open Windows Everyday

Dennis said although this may seem like a basic thing it can really improve the cleanliness of your home. Not only will this action improve your home’s look, it can also improve your health, she added. She said ventilation and air circulation is very important especially in the bedroom.

“Although a lot of people don’t tend to realize it but you spent by far the most time in your bedroom than any other room in your house,” Dennis said. “Your body uses sleep as a time to regenerate and rid itself of physical and emotional stress. The last thing you want is dirt and stale air.”

Making these actions routine will also help you get a jump start to spring cleaning and you will probably get more done because you are not as overwhelmed.
