The British Spring Clean 2025: A Healthier Home, A Fresher Start

Spring is the season of renewal—a time to refresh our spaces, reset our routines, and breathe new life into our homes. But what if your cleaning routine is doing more harm than good?

Many traditional cleaning products promise freshness but come with a hidden cost—toxic residues, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals that linger long after you’re done scrubbing. Instead of creating a healthier, cleaner environment, they pollute your indoor air, disrupt your skin’s natural balance, and eliminate the good bacteria your home actually needs.

This year, let’s spring clean the right way—with powerful, plant-based formulas that deliver a deep, effective clean without exposing your home, your family, or your pets to harmful chemicals.

Here’s how to refresh your home with Miniml’s new natural cleaning range—designed to cut through grease, grime, and bacteria while protecting your health and the planet.


1. The Kitchen: Ditch the Grease, Keep the Freshness

Oven cleaning is usually the dreaded task of spring cleaning—tough, greasy messes, baked-on grime, and the dreaded chemical cloud from industrial-strength degreasers. Traditional oven cleaners contain caustic ingredients that release toxic fumes, requiring gloves, masks, and open windows just to get the job done.

🍊 The Natural Swap: Non-Toxic Oven & Hob Cleaner – Clementine

  • Melts away grease and burnt-on residue—no heavy scrubbing needed
  • Infused with zesty clementine for a naturally fresh, uplifting scent
  • No caustic chemicals, just plant-powered degreasing which are safe for food preparation areas!

💡 Spring Clean Tip:
For a hassle-free clean, spray and leave for 10 minutes—let the natural surfactants break down grease before wiping it away effortlessly.


2. Windows & Glass: Clear Views, Cleaner Air

Spring is all about letting in natural light, but if your glass cleaner is loaded with ammonia and synthetic perfumes, it could be doing more than removing streaks—it could be compromising your indoor air quality.

Many conventional glass cleaners contribute to respiratory irritation and VOC buildup, making your home’s air stale rather than fresh.

🍃 The Natural Swap: Ammonia-Free Window & Glass Cleaner – Mint

  • Streak-free shine, no ammonia or artificial fragrances
  • Cooling mint scent that refreshes as you clean
  • Plant-powered, safe for homes with children and pets

💡 Spring Clean Tip:
Clean windows on a cloudy day—direct sunlight causes glass cleaner to evaporate too quickly, leaving behind streaks.


3. The Bathroom: Deep Clean Without Skin Irritation

Bathrooms need serious cleaning power, but many bathroom sprays contain harsh disinfectants and synthetic surfactants that strip surfaces and can trigger skin irritation or allergies.

If you find yourself sneezing, itching, or dealing with dry hands after cleaning, it might be time to rethink what’s in your spray bottle.

🚿 The Natural Swap: Bleach-Free Anti-Bac Bathroom Cleaner – Cucumber & Mint

  • Kills 99.9% of bacteria & limescale—without harsh irritants
  • Refreshing cucumber & mint scent that makes cleaning feel light and fresh
  • Gentle on skin, powerful on soap scum and buildup

💡 Spring Clean Tip:
Swap single-use sponges (which harbour bacteria) for a washable cleaning cloth—better for you, better for the planet.


4. Surfaces: Reduce Hidden Chemical Exposure

Surfaces in your home—kitchen counters, tables, doorknobs—come into contact with everything. Many antibacterial sprays contain quats (quaternary ammonium compounds), which have been linked to respiratory issues and gut microbiome imbalances when overused.

🍊 The Natural Swap: Natural Anti-Bac Surface Cleaner – Pink Grapefruit

  • Kills 99.9% of bacteria naturally, without quats or bleach
  • Energising pink grapefruit scent—fresh, not fake
  • Safe for high-touch areas, food prep zones, and little hands

💡 Spring Clean Tip:
Use a damp microfiber cloth instead of disposable wipes—it’s just as effective and dramatically reduces plastic waste.


Beyond Clean: Spring Cleaning Habits That Support Your Wellbeing

✔️ Wash Soft Furnishings – Dust, pet dander, and household chemicals can settle into fabrics, so wash curtains, rugs, and cushion covers for a true refresh.
✔️ Open the Windows – Ventilation is key to flushing out pollutants and bringing in oxygen rich fresh air.
✔️ Ditch Synthetic Air Fresheners – Many commercial air sprays contain phthalates and endocrine disruptors—instead, opt for natural cleaning products with essential oils.
✔️ Invest in a HEPA Vacuum – If you have pets or allergies, a HEPA-filter vacuum removes airborne dust and microscopic allergens.
✔️ Switch to Refillable Cleaning Products – Reduce plastic waste by using refillable, zero-waste bottles instead of constantly buying new ones.

The British Spring Clean isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about creating a home that supports your health, not compromises it.
