September Reset: Eco-Friendly Ways to Get Your Home Ready for Cosy Season

As summer fades and autumn begins, September always feels like the perfect time for a fresh start. Routines fall back into place, the days become shorter, and our homes once again become the centre of daily life. It’s an ideal moment to pause, reset, and prepare your space for the colder season ahead.

In this guide, we’ll share how to create a calm, welcoming home this September using natural cleaning products and simple, sustainable habits.

Why September is the Perfect Time for an Autumn Home Reset

September acts as a mini new year. After the busyness of summer — travel, school holidays, and social gatherings — our homes often feel a little cluttered or neglected. By taking time now to refresh, you’ll create a space that feels clean, calm, and ready for autumn.

A September reset doesn’t just mean cleaning. It’s about creating a healthy home environment that supports wellbeing. That’s why many people are turning to eco-friendly cleaning solutions and non-toxic home care — safer for families, pets, and the planet.

Step 1: Clear the Clutter

Start your reset by decluttering.

• Store away summer clothes.

• Recycle or donate items you no longer need.

• Tidy cupboards, shelves, and surfaces.

Decluttering creates mental clarity and sets the stage for deeper cleaning.

Step 2: Refresh Your Home with Natural Cleaning Products

Switching to plant-based cleaning products makes your home routine kinder on your health while still being effective. At MadeKind, our natural cleaning products UK range is designed to deliver powerful results without toxins.

• Kitchen Reset: Our Multi-Surface Cleaner cuts through grease and grime, leaving surfaces streak-free and safe for food prep.

• Bathroom Refresh: The Bathroom Cleaner uses naturally derived ingredients to tackle limescale and soap scum without harsh chemicals.

• Floors & Fabrics: Try our Floor Cleaner for sparkling floors and a Room Mist Spray to revive upholstery and soft furnishings.

• Light a Candle: After cleaning, try lighting a soy wax Aromatherapy Candle to fill your home with wonderful scents, and sit back and enjoy your clean home.

By choosing eco-friendly cleaning products, you’re not just keeping your home clean — you’re also protecting indoor air quality and reducing your environmental impact.

Step 3: Create Cosy Corners

Once your home feels fresh, start layering in comfort for autumn:

• Add textured blankets and cushions (we love The Small Home for cosy accessories)

• Use soft lighting from lamps and natural soy wax candles, such as MadeKind Candles.

• Introduce seasonal décor like natural wood accents or dried flowers. Try Dried Flowers and Decor for hand crafted, natural dried flowers.

A clean home is the foundation, but these touches bring warmth and personality.

Step 4: Simple Habits for a Naturally Clean Home

Staying on top of things doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Small habits make a big difference:

• Wipe down surfaces daily with a non-toxic cleaner.

• Do a 10-minute tidy at the end of each day.

• Refresh rooms weekly with products that are safe for your whole family.

Consistency helps you maintain a calm and organised home — without harsh chemicals.
