Prepare your home naturally for the festive season

Prepare your home naturally for the festive season

We can hardly believe the festive season is nearly upon us, and we’re close to the time of year when our homes fill up with family and friends. 

Whether or not you expect lots of visitors, offering up a fresh and welcoming home as a space where you and (hopefully) your loved ones can relax and enjoy each other’s company is going to be especially sweet, considering how tough 2021 has been on all of us around the world. 

Stepping into rooms that are really clean and deliciously aromatic thanks to nature’s healing and cleansing botanicals can also be a really satisfying way for us to express and share a sense of wellbeing and self-care. So here are a few suggestions for making your home holiday-ready, the Koala Eco way. 

Perhaps start with doing a quick audit on the household’s stock of cleaning products. For the heavy use areas of kitchens and bathrooms, for example, Koala Eco’s dish soap, antiseptic cleaners and laundry wash will ensure surfaces, stainless steel, glass tops, utensils, and laundry items stay free of 99.99% of germs, and smelling deliciously (and naturally) of botanicals like eucalyptus and rosemary. If you are expecting more foot traffic than usual, our Natural Floor Cleaner with Mandarin and Peppermint Essential Oils can take care of floors, and this product works especially well on wooden furniture too.   

For a special treat on a guest’s bedside table, what about one of our lotions, or a refreshing room spray? It’s a small but thoughtful touch for a visiting loved one. And if you do this, why not treat yourself as well? Make this holiday season the perfect time for you to replenish and restore your spirits.
