As the weather gets warmer, many Americans will take out their cleaning supplies and prepare for their annual spring cleaning. The winter months are typically spent cooped up inside, and when spring rolls around, that means it’s time to start a new season without worrying about the dirt and clutter that has collected indoors. According to a survey from 2022, the American Cleaning Institute reports that 78% of Americans engage in spring cleaning at least once per year. PODS® Phoenix is here to provide four eco-friendly tips for you to try out this spring-cleaning season.

Ditch the paper towels: Limit unnecessary waste by switching to inexpensive reusable towels or cut up some old T-shirts that have been lying around since last year to use as cleaning rags. This prevents less waste going into landfills.

Organize and declutter your home with reuse in mind: PODS seasonal storage is a great way to keep your home tidy by tucking away items you intend to reuse; keeping them out of site and ready for the next season. Or consider decluttering by selling your secondhand fashion, home goods, and electronics on social online marketplaces for extra green cash.

Use nontoxic and biodegradable cleaning products: Check labels to make sure that none of your cleaners contain toxic chemicals. Search for cleaning products that contain all natural ingredients and are environmentally friendly.

Donate, don’t throw away: While it might be tempting to toss your old furniture, clothing, or toys that you don’t use anymore, most of those can be donated or upcycled, preventing more landfill waste. Search for local charities or organizations that accept the items you don’t want anymore.

“We want to ease stress and make spring cleaning a more convenient experience this season,” said Steven Figueroa, Territory Manager PODS® Phoenix. “Providing pick up and drop off service for our storage containers is essential to making organization, decluttering, and cleaning easier for our customers.”

PODS Phoenix offers easy and convenient storage by bringing your container to your home and allowing you to use it on your own schedule while you declutter and downsize during your spring cleaning. Limit the gas used when driving to and from storage facilities.
