Spring Cleaning by: Laura

During the festive season of Passover, it feels great to clean out the home, cleanse the mind, body, and soul, and bring change into our lives. Cleaning removes old dust and stale energy. It helps to bring clarity to the new season - fresh and ready to start a new cycle.

Over the past 2 weeks, I have had the opportunity to help with the Passover cleaning at CityTree. There were some similarities and some differences to my standard cleaning at home. One important task was to wash down the Center windows. We used a product called EM. I think EM means “effective microorganisms” and is a safe all-natural cleaning solution. The smell is slightly vinegary, but it is not harsh at all on the hands and really fulfills its cleaning duties. The product seeks to keep the balance of nature in check by not destroying the healthy and beneficial bacteria present. This product is way more eco-friendly and helps to sustain the environment’s biodiversity. EM works to build an alliance with the earth while

removing harmful bacteria from surfaces.

For more information on EM, come by CityTree and give the windows a nice clean.
