There’s something magical about autumn, isn’t there? The leaves start to turn, the air feels a little crisper, and suddenly you want to make everything in your home clean, warm & cosy.
Although our business is buzzing regardless of the season, in my personal time, I like to hit reset to give our home a good clean, refresh our laundry, and bring a bit of comfort indoors. So, I wanted to share some of my favourite safe and natural cleaning and self-care essentials from Miniml that help keep our home sparkling and calm through the cooler months.
1. Multi-Surface Cleaner – Blood Orange
Nothing brightens up a grey autumn day like the smell of citrus! Our Blood Orange Multi-Surface Cleaner is my go-to for wiping down kitchen counters, tables, and all those high-touch areas that tend to get a little sticky this time of year.
It cuts through grease effortlessly and that sweet & zesty orange scent instantly refreshes the room. It’s perfect for autumn cleaning when you want to set the mood in your home.
Emma’s Tip:
Wipe down your radiators before you turn them on for the season, you’ll thank yourself later when that first burst of warm air smells fresh instead of dusty!
2. Bodywash + Bubblebath – English Lavender & Chamomile
After a long day of cleaning or running errands in the chilly weather, there’s nothing better than a hot bath. Our English Lavender & Chamomile Bodywash + Bubblebath is my favourite way to unwind. It’s soothing, gentle, and smells like a peaceful night in a spa.
Lavender naturally helps you relax, while chamomile soothes dry autumn skin. Our formula is dermatologically tested, so it’s safe even on the most gentle skin.
Emma’s Tip:
Pop your towels on the radiator before you jump in the bath, it makes your post-bath routine feel like pure luxury.
3. Laundry Liquid – Wild Jasmine & Vanilla
Our newest laundry care fragrance, Wild Jasmine & Vanilla, has quickly become a Miniml favourite, and for good reason.
It’s elegant, comforting, and fills your home with a gentle floral aroma as your clothes dry. With notes of jasmine, vanilla bean, and a hint of amber, it makes laundry day something to actually look forward to.
It’s powered by a 100% natural fragrance and a natural origin formula that’s gentle on sensitive skin, the environment, and it’s safe for the whole family.
Emma’s Tip:
Add a splash of white vinegar to your rinse cycle every few washes. It helps remove detergent build-up, keeps fabrics soft, and gives your laundry that extra-fresh feeling.
Extra Autumn Cleaning Tips.
Because autumn cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore, here are a few of my favourite simple swaps and habits to keep your home clean and cosy:
-
Declutter before the chill sets in. Pack away summer bits and make space for blankets and candles.
-
Wipe window sills and skirting boards. They collect dust and pollen over summer.
-
Refresh soft furnishings. Use our Fabric Conditioner in Fresh Linen for that “just washed” scent on cushions and throws.
-
Keep the mud at bay. Place a washable mat at the door and use our Anti-Bac Cleaner – Pink Grapefruit to quickly tackle muddy paw prints.
-
Set the mood. A clean home feels even cosier when it smells inviting: citrus in the kitchen, lavender in the bathroom, and jasmine in the laundry room.
Clean Home, Calm Mind
I like finding beauty in the everyday, whether it’s folding warm laundry, wiping down a freshly cleaned kitchen, or soaking in a lavender-scented bath.
With Miniml, I get to enjoy all those moments knowing everything I use is safe, natural, and made to make life simpler.
