The benefits of a good house clean is more than just keeping things sanitary. Read on to find out why a clean home is a happy home!
In our previous post we helped you plan how to Spring Clean your Home Room by Room but what are the benefits of cleaning? Here are our top reasons for keeping on top of a cleansing routine in the home.
Cleaning Helps to Reduce Allergies
We spend a lot of time indoors, which we'd want to keep as a clean and healthy environment for our health and sanity. If we aren't careful, allergies can be triggered by the build-up of dust and dirt particles floating around leading to blocked or runny noses, itchy eyes and skin irritations. By cleaning our homes regularly, we can root out any dust and reduce allergies.
Cleaning is Awesome Exercise!
Cleaning can be quite an intensive exercise, but one you can take at your own pace, like a treadmill adapting to your performance. You can give yourself a real workout by hoovering the floor, dusting the woodwork and cleaning the windows. However, as it can become a monotonous job, with some good tunes to assist you can lose yourself in the moment of cleaning while reaping all the benefits of good exercise.
Cleaning Makes Your Stuff Last Longer!
Regular cleaning and maintenance is not only beneficial to us but it can mean furniture, electricals and surfaces such as walls and floors last longer! This is especially important if with your flooring which probably gets the most use of all. Dealing with stains and spills quickly help to avoid de-staining the floor and prevent a slipping hazard. At the same time, regular dusting and mopping halt dust and dirt build-up from scratching the surface of the flooring. All these steps lead to keeping your floor healthy and looking good as new for longer.
Cleaning Aids Wellbeing
Losing yourself in cleaning the surroundings is not only good exercise but great for your wellbeing too. Cleaning is one of the few activities we regularly partake in that has a clear end goal. We're able to de-stress and focus on the task at hand. At the same time, we get to see a clear result at the end of it, being a tidy environment.
And there you have it - Clean house; clear mind.
