Cleaning thoroughly, efficiently, and greenly is the name of the game here at the Purple Fig, but we all have those areas of the house that- let’s face it -nobody likes to tackle. What better way to honor those dastardly, dirty crevices then to dedicate a post about how to scrub them until they shine?

There’s something about the coming of Spring that inspires a renewing and refreshing sense of self– and for whatever reason, nothing makes for a more satisfying detox than tossing out the old and abandoned clutter around your house. We at the Purple Fig know how daunting a task this can be, so we have list of eco-friendly tips, tricks, and…Read More

Organic essential oils may seem like a few tiny droplets within an ocean of natural ingredients, but the cleaning process wouldn’t be complete without them. Eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint…each of these oils play a vital role in improving the well-being of your home as well as your body.

The ones with the hundred little sucker cups on the bottom? Yes! Those! I hate those. I know, I know, they keep little Johnny or Susie from falling…Read More

Do you clean house (or have us do it) and look around in a week and wonder how it got so dirty? I did too. Of course, since I lived alone; I realized it was my fault. So the answer is to have a roommate/living partner to blame it on. Okay, I’m just kidding. Really,…Read More
