Eco-Conscious Fourth of July Entertaining

Holiday events of any nature are a time to gather together and what is one of the main things we do when we gather?  That's right--EAT!  Read on for our top three picks to green your Fourth of July celebration.

Create a Summer Vacation at Home!

VACATION.  Ahhh, that special time when we draw closer together as a family; creating new memories!  Some years however, a summer vacation trip may not be do-able.  If this is that kind of year for you, don't give up on your summer!  Plan a stay-cation vacation for the family!  You just might be surprised at how much fun and memory making this type of vacation has to offer! 

What is a stay-cation vacation?

21 Day Greener Clean Home Challenge: Part One

A month ago we shared ideas on how to Set Your Weekends Free.  To fuel this endeavor we have a 21 Day Greener Clean Home Challenge for you!  Overcoming our weaknesses will only empower strength in all areas and will help you have consistently Freed up Weekends!! 

Part One begins in the kitchen.  The hub of home activity and one of the top places where we need to find the space peaceful looking and green cleaned!

Father's Day Vacation!

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant. I could hardly stand to have the old man around.  But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."       ---Mark Twain

We thank all dads for the wisdom, love, support and sacrifice you give on behalf of your families; even when it goes unnoticed!

 Celebrate your Father in a special way this Father's Day!

Take dad on vacation (even if for the day!). 

Statistics show that over 40% of dads would like a family trip over a gift.  What does that tell you?  Dads like spending time with their families!  So surprise him with a day away!

In preparation for the surprise Father's Day outing, spruce up the family vehicle green cleaning it inside and out!  Harmony Dish Wash effectively cleans the exterior without damaging the surface.  Clean plastic and vinyl interiors with Harmony Multi-Purpose Cleaner. 

Fuel dad's trip with a special new travel mug for his Father's Day vacation!

(Father's Day is a couple weeks away—that should give you time to plan this little vacation for your deserving dad and husband!) 

Harmony Aromatherapy Cleaners understands the value of families!  That is why we have made it our priority to create non-toxic, 100% all natural, aromatic cleaners safe for families, pets and the environment.

Increase Your Productivity by Doing Less

Accomplishing more by doing less is not as farfetched of an idea as you might think. 

 Clarification of what is truly important holds the key. 

Add this component to your daily green cleaning routines and you will have a winning combo!

Set Your Weekends Free

Simply put; end the use of weekends as catch-up cleaning days.  

Don't be the person stuck in the garage organizing and cleaning it when you could be hiking, biking or picnicking with the family! 

Don't be the person stuck indoors scrambling to clean the whole house, when you could be enjoying the beach or a relaxing day topped off with a night out on the town!

Everyone needs margin.  Margin is that space in our lives where our bodies and minds are not rushing to accomplish tasks and goals.  Margin is that downtime where we become renewed, refreshed and re-energized in body and mind.  Margin helps reduce and manage stress.  Margin allows time for relationships to be grow.  Bring back margin to your weekends! 

Stick with a weekday green cleaning routine!  Here's how...

Green Cleaning Spree for Special Occasions

What special event planned at your home is on your calendar?  Do you feel like it is "crunch time" to get your house in order before guests arrive?

Consider our tried and true, quick and effective green cleaning tips.  (Tested by HG Labs social media representative, Brenda, before graduation Open House event at her home.) 

Washing walls in record time:

Are your walls looking grungy? 

 

Don't think you will ever have the time to get around to green cleaning them! 

 

Spray Harmony Aromatherapy Multi-Purpose Cleaner on a microfiber mop cloth and wash walls without a bucket of water or rinsing. 

 

This is a HUGE time saver!!

Greasy kitchen surfaces—no problem!

Due to the natural tendency kitchens have of collecting grease, even on windows and blinds, opt to use Harmony Aromatherapy All-Purpose Degreaser on these surfaces for faster green clean results.  Allow Harmony Aromatherapy All-Purpose Degreaser to sit on the surface for a minute.  Harmony Aromatherapy All-Purpose Degreaser does the work of loosening grease and grime from surfaces; saving you elbow grease and time!

Lightening round dusting:

Slide on a microfiber dusting mitt and spray Harmony Aromatherapy Wood Floor Cleaner on the mitt. 

Wipe down dusty surfaces in a jif! 

Non-carpet floor surfaces ready for action:

No time for a bucket of water and rinsing; you've got a party to get ready for!  Spray floor surface with Harmony Aromatherapy Wood Floor Cleaner or Harmony Aromatherapy Granite and Tile Cleaner and wipe clean!
