Clear away any clutter that's collected on floors or surfaces. Recycle those stacks of newspapers, throw away those old bills and piled up junk mail, and send out/sort into baskets that dirty laundry.

Using an old cloth or your broom, dust the corners of your ceilings for cobwebs. Dust the tops of your curtains and windowsills as well. I recommend getting one of those dust mops with really long handles. They are available at Walmart for around $10 or $12.

Starting at far left (NorthWest) of your house, sweep/vaccuum the floors in a generally clockwise direction. Sweeping is an excellent example of practical magic, cleansing on both a physical and spiritual level. Then tackle the upper middle area, the North. Then the NorthEast. Then the West. And so on and so on...

If you are using a broom, be sure to take the wisk and dustbin with you as you sweep. That way you can collect all the dirt room by room. Make this the last thing you do before you move onto the next room.

Once you've finished sweeping, fill the bucket about halfway with hot water and floor cleaner. I recommend Murphy's wood oil soap, or a pine-scented cleaner.

Add a few drops of the pine oil and eucalyptus oil to the bucket of water. Crumble up a leaf or two of sage and add that as well.

Say a little prayer over the water to the God of your own understanding. Ask that your house be blessed, peaceful, and harmonious.

One you have finished sweeping, it is time to mop. Start again at the NorthWest and make your way North, then NorthEast, then West, then the middle, etc. Mop the floors in a generally clockwise direction. Envision the charmed water clearing away old, muddy energy and leaving your house sparkling and new.

Using the lemon-scented polish, lovingly polish any wooden furniture in your house. Once again, envision old vibrations being cleared away.

Light your sage or sweetgrass and smudge the outer corners of each room, moving once again in a clockwise direction.

Tips:

If you have wall-to-wall carpeting or are very allergic to dust, you can perform this ritual with a vaccuum cleaner instead of a broom. Simply sprinkle a small amount of the charmed water (minus floor cleaner!) on the carpet.

You may wish to chant softly to yourself while cleaning. Any simple, rhyming chant will do. Here's one example: "Bad stuff, bad stuff, go away, don't come back another day, good stuff, good stuff, come my way, and stay and stay and stay."

When you smudge, you can invoke any diety you like or feel comfortable with. For example, if you are Wiccan, you can chant the names of the Goddess(es) to yourself or if you are Catholic, you can call upon Santa Clara (Saint Claire) to clear your path.

Feel free to experiment with what you place in your mop water. Rose oil (love) and Patchouly oil (prosperity) are good choices.

In the near future, we will be offering various spiritual floorwashes and powders to enhance your cleaning experience!
