With spring in full force outdoors, I am in hard-core spring cleaning mode indoors -- nothing feels better than airing out the house and deep cleaning every corner after a long winter. (Image: Ashley Hafstead)

But this year, I have adopted a more eco-friendly and sustainable way of cleaning.Image: Ashley Hafstead)

Instead of harsh chemicals, I have found natural cleaner alternatives (see the post for my favorite recipe to make at home). Image: Ashley Hafstead)

In one of my biggest changes, I now use natural bristled brushes. (Image: Ashley Hafstead)

Natural bristled wooden brushes are made by hand with all-natural ingredients. They are easy on the environment (which is always a bonus) and they are really beautiful. (Image: Ashley Hafstead)

The natural texture and neutral aesthetic makes them the perfect accessory to adorn a countertop.{ } (Image: Ashley Hafstead)

Plus, there is a brush designed for every use in your home (yes, even the toilet) which enables design flow throughout your home. (Image: Ashley Hafstead)

The bristles on a natural brush are made up of either animal hair or plant fibers. We'd recommend steering away from the brushes made from animal hair unless you can 100 percent confirm that the company is not contributing to animal cruelty when making the brushes.{ } (Image: Ashley Hafstead)

Alternatives to animal hair include coco husk, sisal, palmyra, tampico and aregna fibers; these natural fibers are incredibly strong and durable, and are resistant to water and heat. (Image: Ashley Hafstead)

Happy spring cleaning! (Image: Ashley Hafstead)
