It’s Spring! And that means its the perfect time to shake off the winter cobwebs (both literally and energetically) and welcome fresh, vibrant energy into your space.
BUT, if you’re anything like me, hearing the words “spring cleaning” makes you want to crawl back under the covers and hide!
So if you’re a witch who’d rather charge crystals under the full moon than scrub grout, you’re in the right place. We’re not about spending hours scrubbing every nook and cranny here. Nope! These cleaning hacks are quick, magickal, and designed for witches who love their shortcuts.
So grab your broomstick (or vacuum), light a cleansing candle, and let’s make spring cleaning as effortless as possible…
Hack 1. Broom sweep blessing
Enchant your broom with this quick spell before sweeping:
“Dust and dirt, be gone from here,
By broom and charm, the air is clear.”
Sweep towards doorways to banish negative energy, along with the debris.
**Use a vacuum cleaner? No stress, this blessing will still be effective!
Hack 2. Herbal smoke cleanse
No time for a deep clean?
Use a bundle of rosemary, lavender, or cedar to cleanse the energy and purify your space. As the smoke drifts, chant:
“As this smoke moves, so does the grime;
Cleanse this space with love divine.”
Be sure to open windows, to let stagnant air and energy out.
Hack 3. Crystal dust traps
Place selenite or clear quartz points in dusty areas of your home to absorb heavy, stagnant energy.
Dusting the crystal will also cleanse the energy of the room.
Hack 4. Water moon mop
Need to mop? For extra ease, mop when the Moon is in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces). The element of water will be activated, meaning washing and rinsing will take far less effort.
Edd a few drops of peppermint and eucalyptus oil to your water, and as you mop, whisper:
“Floors below, absorb and renew,
Sweep away chaos, and bring peace through.”
Hack 5. Clarifying simmer pot
While you’re tidying, simmer a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange slices on the stove. The scent will fill your home with warmth and clarity, making cleaning feel less like a chore and more like a ritual.
Hack 6. Banishing box for clutter
Repurpose an old cardboard box for unwanted items of clutter. Place near the foot of the stairs or by the front door, as a “holding station” for any things you need to get out of the house.
For added impact, seal it with a sigil for banishment, drawn on a sticky note, to ensure those items (and the energy they hold) EXIT your space and don’t come back!
Hack 7. Goodnight dirt spell
Before bed, sprinkle salt or baking soda on rugs and carpets. Let it sit overnight to absorb bad odours and energy. Vacuum the next day while saying:
“With every grain, this dirt shall part;
Clean and pure, a fresh new start.”
Hack 8. Sigil dusting cloths
Draw a sigil for “clean and clear energy” on a piece of paper, place it under a stack of clean microfiber cloths, and let the intent soak in. Use these cloths to dust your space. Each swipe becomes an act of both physical cleaning and energetic intention-setting.
Hack 9. Set it and forget it citrus cleaner
Fill a jar with citrus peels (orange, lemon, lime) and cover them with white vinegar. Let it sit for two weeks, then strain into a spray bottle. This DIY cleaner smells divine and works on most surfaces without scrubbing.
Hack 10. Lavender magick wardrobe refresh
Toss sachets of dried lavender and chamomile into drawers and closets. While placing them, chant:
“Clutter be gone, freshness arise,
Order and calm in every guise.”
And there you have it, my fellow lazy witch. Spring cleaning made magickal, manageable, and a little less tedious than usual?
With these simple hacks, you can refresh your home, raise the frequency of your home, and still have plenty of time left to brew tea, get creative, or take a well-earned nap.
