Spring is more than just a season; it’s a promise of new beginnings and brighter days. As nature awakens, it invites us to rejuvenate our indoor spaces. At Anthony’s Laundry, we believe that fresh laundry uplifts and can significantly enhance the vibe of your home, making it feel more inviting and alive.
The Psychological Impact of Fresh Laundry
There’s a unique joy in slipping into freshly laundered sheets or wearing a clean, fragrant shirt. The sensory experience of fresh laundry—its soothing scents and soft touch—plays a significant role in our well-being. Studies have shown that clean environments can boost our mood and mental health, proving that a pile of fresh laundry can do more for you than just keep you looking sharp.
Fresh Laundry: A Sensory Experience
Laundry may be a sensory experience, but most of us do not do our laundry with the intentionality of a sensory practice. Shifting your intentions can change whether or not it is a sensory experience. Also, applying some of our practical tips, including using scented detergents or softeners, deep breathing, identifying plus textures, and having gratitude.
Spring Cleaning and Laundry: A Perfect Pair
Spring cleaning is a time-honored tradition that goes hand in hand with refreshing your laundry. As you declutter and clean your space, don’t overlook your wardrobe and linen closet. Use this opportunity to sort through your items, setting aside those that need special attention from Anthony’s Laundry. Plus, our tips for decluttering will not only clear your space but also your mind, and possibly your nose!
Practical Decluttering Tips
If your laundry room, linen cabinet, and closet make you shutter, you are not alone. Including these places in your spring cleaning is critical to an entire home clean-up. Start with one area. Doing all rooms at once is a recipe for being overwhelmed. No matter what you are decluttering, some of our tips are:
- Get rid of things you do not use
- Have a donation basket
- Evaluate how it makes you feel
If the laundry detergent gives you a headache or the dress has not fit in years, it is probably time to let them go.
Allergies can be affected by dirty homes and closets. Dust mites, mold, pollen, animal dander, plus fur are all common allergens that settle in our homes and on our clothes. Wearing our allergens on our clothes all day and night can escalate allergies. Cleaning your laundry professionally in top-of-the-line machines may improve allergies and your quality of life!
Enhancing Home Decor with Fresh Linens
The change of seasons is the perfect time to revitalize your home decor. Swapping out heavy winter drapes and bedding for lighter, fresh linens can instantly brighten a room. To add a touch of spring, try incorporating natural laundry scents like lavender or citrus to your fabrics. Fresh laundry uplifts you, but laundry that smells good will help keep the winter blues away.
Uplift your Home with Spring Style Changes
Spring colors, such as pastels and vibrant colors, can be the perfect seasonal change for your home. While most of us are unwilling to paint our living room baby pink, throw pillows and blankets (or even blanket covers) can be the perfect change. Fresh flowers can also be a perfect accent to your new decor. Regular deliveries from a local florist are also an option to help remove the hassle of coordinating pickups. To enhance the spring vibe, choose tulips, daises, or peonies, along with colors such as pink, yellow, and blue. If you want to add the floral smell directly to your laundry, not just your rooms, consider adding essential oils. A few drops of essential oils directly into your laundry detergent in the washer can naturally add a fresh smell.
Spring into the new season. Let Anthony’s Laundry take the hassle out of your spring cleaning so you can focus on what truly matters.
