March into Green: Spring Cleaning, Eco Gardening & Healthy Home Hacks

As winter loosens its grip across the U.S. and daylight stretches a little longer, March is the perfect time to refresh your space, reset your routines, and reduce waste. At Earthinary, that reset means choosing plant-based, biodegradable solutions that support your health, your home, and the planet.

From cleaning to gardening, surviving allergy season and more, these simple swaps will have you moving into spring with intention.

Spring Clean Without Toxins

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to mean harsh chemicals. Many conventional cleaners contain synthetic fragrances and ingredients that impact indoor air quality and wash into waterways. Switching to biodegradable, plant-based alternatives creates a healthier home from the inside out.

Start with your laundry routine. This Rustic Strength Plant-Based Laundry Detergent delivers a deep clean without synthetic additives — perfect for washing winter bedding, throws, and heavy layers before storing them.

In the kitchen, replace plastic bottles with this Zero-Waste Dish Soap Cube, a long-lasting, plastic-free alternative that handles dishes and surfaces while reducing waste.

Swap disposable sponges and paper towels for reusable Swedish Dish Cloths. They’re absorbent, compostable, and designed to reduce landfill waste while managing everyday spills.

Prepare For a Sustainable Garden

For many of us, March is the perfect time to start planning or planting gardens. But did you know that sustainable gardening begins in the kitchen — with compost?

The Astrik Compost Bin makes food scrap collection simple and odor-controlled, sitting neatly on your countertop as a daily reminder that waste can become nourishment.

Once your compost is ready to enrich your soil, make planting easier with our Garden Hand Tool Set (Hardwood and Stainless Steel). Crafted for durability and comfort, this high-quality set is designed to last season after season — the perfect companion for turning compost into thriving spring growth.

If you’re new to composting, start simple: balance “greens” (fruit and vegetable scraps) with “browns” (dry leaves or paper), and empty your bin regularly into your outdoor compost or worm system. Learn more about composting in our blog, Composting 101 For Anyone Hesitant To Start.

Allergy Season Without Harsh Chemicals

Spring blooms bring pollen, and while you can’t control what’s in the air outside, you can create a cleaner indoor environment.

Many people searching for allergy relief are also looking for non-toxic home solutions. Reducing synthetic fragrance and harsh cleaners can support a more breathable space.

Earthinary’s Plant-Based Fabric Softener (Unscented) softens laundry without synthetic fragrances that may irritate sensitivities.

Upgrade your cleaning routine with a Sustainable Wool Scrub — a durable, plastic-free alternative designed to tackle tough kitchen and bathroom messes without shedding microplastics into your home or waterways. Did we mention it works on you too?

Graywater-safe, plant-based cleaning products like this all-purpose spray cleaner allow you to clean effectively without introducing unnecessary irritants into your indoor air or local waterways.

This spring, consider making your home allergy-conscious by choosing gentler, biodegradable alternatives wherever possible.

Eco Pet Care During Shedding Season

As temperatures rise, dogs and cats begin shedding their winter coats. That means more brushing, wiping paws, and cleaning surfaces.

Biodegradable Plant-Based Pet Wipes are ideal for quick cleanups after outdoor walks. Designed for sensitive skin, they offer convenience without the long-term environmental cost of conventional wipes. Or for those deeper cleans, consider using an environmentally-friendly Plant-Derived Dog & Cat Shampoo.

For daily walks, switch to Home-Compostable Dog Waste Bags — a lower-impact alternative to standard plastic bags.
