Spring cleaning is just around the corner! This chore not only requires a lot of time and preparation, but it also has an impact on the environment. A clean house feels even better when you clean it responsibly. Don't know how to get started? No worries, Klaaar will help you get started!
Maintaining a sustainable mindset
During spring cleaning, maintain a sustainable mindset and make conscious choices that reduce your environmental impact. Fortunately, there are many ways to approach spring cleaning as environmentally consciously as possible!
Use natural cleaning products
Replace chemical cleaning products with natural products like vinegar, baking soda, lemon, etc. They are just as effective and powerful as traditional cleaning products, but not harmful to the environment. 
Use reusable cleaning materials and minimize packaging waste
Use reusable cleaning products like sponges, brushes, or microfiber cloths, and avoid disposable ones. This will reduce the amount of waste during spring cleaning.
Choose cleaning products that you can reuse with refills or buy them in bulk. Avoid overly packaged products and look for brands that use eco-friendly packaging or are even completely plastic-free. Klaaar is the place to go for plastic-free laundry detergent strips. Say goodbye to heavy plastic detergent bottles!
Prevent chemically polluted water
Chemical residues are flushed away with the water and end up in the sewer system. This chemically contaminated water is harmful to the environment and affects water quality. Avoid this by using biodegradable cleaning products and rinsing away as little residue as possible with water.
Clean up and recycle
When clearing out, sort your items and recycle or donate the things you no longer need. Try to avoid throwing away items in good condition as much as possible. Thrift stores are happy to receive items, and many charities are happy to accept these donations.
Eco-friendly tidying and organizing
Use sustainable storage containers for tidying up, such as baskets made from natural materials or boxes made from recycled or reused materials.
