Spring Cleaning

There’s nothing like shedding winter skin and facing spring with a fresh, clean scent — especially one that is inspired by the smells of Maine. Portland textile designer Angela Adams (273 Congress St., Portland, 800-255-9454, www.angelaadams.com) has introduced a new line of gift soaps. They are encased in chic packaging, but more importantly smell and feel great. The mini gift set ($18) features all six Maine-inspired scents — aloe lemongrass, lucky lavender, peppy peppermint, fresh pine, beach rose, and geranium seaweed — in half-ounce bars. Or buy individual four-ounce bars ($7.75). All soaps are made in Maine with natural and organic ingredients and are available in the retail shop in Portland or online.

I haven’t know about this that there are different types and rates of cleaning tools that would also be in for a particular home with its accent. How long does Angela Adams as designer? I’ve heard her as the house cleaning brisbane personnel talks about her one time when they clean our house last month.
