Spring is here, but you probably already knew that from the warming weather and influx of spring cleaning checklists filling your inboxes. Don’t get us wrong, spring cleaning is an incredible opportunity to have a reset and refresh, but it always seems such a BIG JOB! Step-by-step guides go on forever and everyone has ten different tips per square metre of your home to bombard you with. It turns the excitement of a fresh space into a daunting task you don’t know where to start. But you know what? Spring cleaning doesn’t need to be complicated. In fact, it doesn’t need to take more than a few fabulous products. The secret? Lemon Myrtle.
Known for its crisp, refreshing scent and remarkable antimicrobial properties, lemon myrtle is not just a delightful addition to your cleaning arsenal—it's the whole thing.
But first, why should we be spring cleaning in the first place?
Spring cleaning is more than just a tradition (though you can read about spring cleaning’s origins here)—it’s an important practice for maintaining a healthy, organised, and revitalised environment. As winter fades and the days grow longer, taking the time to thoroughly clean and refresh your home offers numerous benefits:
- Physical Health
Over time, dust, allergens, and grime can accumulate in your home, potentially impacting indoor air quality and contributing to respiratory issues. Spring cleaning helps eliminate these pollutants, reducing the risk of allergies and asthma. By targeting areas that are often neglected during regular cleaning, such as behind appliances or in deep crevices, you can create a healthier environment for you and your family.
- Mental Health
Have you ever noticed that when you feel disoriented and overwhelmed, your living space becomes a complete mess? That’s because the space we put ourselves in impacts our headspace, so forgetting to wipe down the bench in a time of rush may lead to a complete clutter-bomb after a few days, without any conscious meaning for it to be that way!
A clean and organised space can have a profound effect on your mental well-being, so just as a messy space emphasises stress and anxiety, a tidy and fresh environment promotes relaxation and a sense of calm.
- Improved Organisation
Spring cleaning is an excellent opportunity to reassess your belongings and declutter. By sorting through items, you can get rid of things you no longer need and better organise what remains. This process not only creates a more functional living space but also helps you keep track of your possessions, making it easier to find what you need and reducing clutter-related frustration.
- Preparation for Seasonal Changes
As the seasons change, so do the conditions in your home. Spring cleaning prepares your space for the warmer months ahead by addressing seasonal needs. For instance, you might need to prepare your home for increased humidity or change your air filters. Thorough cleaning ensures that your home is ready to handle these changes effectively, maintaining comfort and efficiency.
- Enhancing Home Aesthetics
A thorough spring clean can make your home look and feel brand new. Deep-cleaning carpets, washing windows, and polishing surfaces not only improve the appearance of your home but also increase its overall value. A well-maintained home reflects your attention to detail and care, contributing to a more inviting and attractive living space.
- Establishing Healthy Habits
Finally, spring cleaning sets the stage for establishing healthier cleaning habits throughout the year. By focusing on deep cleaning now, you create a foundation for maintaining a cleaner home with more manageable upkeep. This proactive approach can prevent the buildup of grime and make regular cleaning tasks easier and more efficient!

So why use lemon myrtle?
You can read about lemon myrtle’s countless benefits by clicking here, but for this article we’ll just focus on the important ones for spring cleaning.
- Natural antimicrobial properties
First, it has natural antimicrobial properties, meaning it kills microorganisms such as bacteria or mould, stopping the spread of disease. This makes lemon myrtle the perfect solo surface cleaner, no multi-step cleaning process required.
- Naturally refreshing scent
Second, it has a naturally refreshing scent (that isn’t toxic!), making your home smell fresh even beyond your days of spring cleaning. In fact, the smell of lemon myrtle promotes a feeling of wellbeing by relaxing the mind and soothing nerves of the inhaler, making you feel better internally as well!
- Eco-friendly
Unlike many conventional cleaning products that rely on synthetic chemicals, Lemon Myrtle offers a natural alternative. Harvested right here in Australia, its essential oil is not only effective in cleaning but also free from harsh chemicals that can adversely affect the environment and indoor air quality. By choosing Lemon Myrtle, you’re opting for a greener, more responsible cleaning solution that supports both your health and the planet’s well-being.

- Efficient
The best thing about using lemon myrtle in your spring cleaning is that you don’t need five different products for every room. Getting a lemon myrtle all-purpose cleaner, lemon myrtle air freshener, and lemon myrtle linen mist are all you need to deep clean every room. (The only thing that should be left on your spring cleaning to do list is to declutter, which is all on you!)
