August Reset: Natural Ways to Refresh Your Home and Health Before Fall
Posted on
As July fades into memory and the first days of August arrive, there’s a shift in the air. We’re still basking in summer, but the subtle signs of change are everywhere — shorter evenings, back-to-school ads, and maybe a growing urge to get life a little more organized.
This is the perfect time for an August Reset — a gentle pause to refresh your home and health before fall routines kick in. At Natural Ginesis, we believe in using safe, natural methods to support your well-being and your space. Here are a few simple ways to clean, clear, and cool down the month ahead.
1. Deep-Clean the “Forgotten” Spots
After a season of sandals, sunscreen, and backyard gatherings, some corners of your home may be overdue for a refresh.
-
Start with entryways, baseboards, and window tracks. These areas tend to collect dust, pollen, and bugs over the summer.
-
Spray down outdoor furniture and pet zones with Kleen Green™ Enzymes — it’s a powerful, non-toxic way to cut through organic grime without leaving behind harsh fumes.
-
Tidy up closets or mudrooms where shoes, towels, or sports gear may be creating odor or clutter.
A fresh home makes the shift into back-to-school and busier days feel so much smoother.
2. Create a Cool-Down Ritual
August is still hot — and sometimes muggy — depending on where you live. Try adding a few natural habits to beat the heat:
-
Keep a Kleen Green™ mist bottle in the fridge and lightly spritz your feet, linens, or hat before heading out.
-
Use a damp cloth with a few drops of essential oil (peppermint or lavender are great) and place it on the back of your neck after a hot day.
-
Sleep with cotton sheets, and consider misting your pillow with a diluted enzyme solution to stay fresh and discourage dust mites.
3. Support Immune Health Naturally
Whether you have kids heading back to school or you're simply returning to your usual routine, early August is a great time to boost your body’s defenses.
-
Clean commonly touched surfaces like phones, remotes, and door handles with a safe enzymatic cleaner — no need for toxic chemicals.
-
Hydrate like it’s still July — hot weather and air-conditioned buildings can both dehydrate you quickly.
-
Prioritize rest. The long, late nights of summer can take a toll. Begin easing into earlier bedtimes and try a calming nighttime routine to help reset your internal clock.
4. Let August Be the Gentle Pivot
You don’t have to rush into “back-to-busy.” Let August be a month of small transitions — a time to enjoy what’s left of summer while slowly restoring order and calm. A freshened-up home, clear skin, and a rested body can do wonders for your peace of mind.
Whether it’s cleaning the nooks and crannies, prepping lunchboxes, or just getting back into a groove, we’re here to help with natural products that care for your family and the earth.
Here’s to a fresh, healthy start to August — the natural way.
