Not all of us enjoy cleaning, but we can all agree that it’s much nicer to live in a clean and tidy home than it is to live in a messy, unclean one. But, there are a number of benefits to living in a clean home that you may not be aware of…
7 Surprising Benefits to Living in a Clean Home
1. A healthier family!
It’s nice for your family to live in a clean and tidy environment, but it’s also great for their health. If you’re keeping your home clean and tidy, you’re massively reducing the chances of your home becoming infested with small bugs, mites and organic growth…
These little crawlies may not be much of an eye-sore. However they can trigger health problems and cause issues for family members with asthma or allergies. A regular hoover and dusting can go a long way in resisting against these uninvited guests. Which brings us on to number 2…
2. Happy visitors!
At some point in our lives, we’ve all stepped into a room that we wanted to step right back out of again. Whether it was a messy bedroom, a smelly bathroom or an unpleasant hotel room – nobody feels comfortable in an unclean environment.
Keeping your home perfectly clean all of the time is impossible, but a quick tidy up at the end of the day, before settling down to relax, can go a long way, and your guests and surprise visitors will really appreciate it.
3. Less long term costs!
Here’s one you probably didn’t expect. Keeping your home clean will actually reduce necessary costs in the long run. When it comes to soft furnishings in particular – such as carpets, curtains, sofas and chairs – dirt and grit can become embedded in the fibres, causing erosion and matting over time.
Give your carpets, rugs, curtains, sofas and chairs a good clean now and again to keep them in good shape and increase their longevity. If you don’t have the equipment to keep your soft furnishings clean, talk to us about our carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning services.
4. Cleaning is great exercise!
We can’t always find the time to exercise in the day, especially when we have families to look after and jobs to go to. But, if we can find the time to clean, then we’re hitting two birds with one stone!
A good 30 minute clean can burn a nice 100-200 calories (that’s half a cheeseburger) and get you on your way to hitting your recommended 10,000 steps per day. So, while it may not be a complete substitute for hitting the gym or going for a run, it’s a great option next time you’re short for time and there’s some house work that needs doing.
5. A clean environment reduces risk of depression.
Scientists have found that living in a clean home or working in a tidy environment actually reduces depression. They found a
6. Cleaning brings a sense of accomplishment
Productivity feels great, especially afterwards when it’s over and you can relax again. If you’ve got the time, pluck up some energy and tick a few household chores off of your to-do list.
And why not make it more fun by playing some music and cranking up the volume? Cleaning doesn’t have to be boring, you know!
7. Cleaning relieves stress
It may not be the first thing that pops into your head when you think of ways to relieve stress, but cleaning the house is a great way to lower cortisol levels.
The idea of needing to clean is very different to the feeling of finishing cleaning and sitting down to relax in a nice and tidy living room. So, next time you’re feeling a little stressed after a long day, have a quick run around the house to get things looking the way you want again.
