Whether you use professional cleaning services, or you prefer to get your house hygienic yourself, the fact is that the results of those efforts go far beyond a fresh smell and an organised aesthetic. All of those wipes, scrubs, rinses and polishes actually result in your house being happier, and that’s because an organised and clean home is known to be pretty fantastic for your mental health.
“When your environment is clean you feel happy, motivated and healthy”
Lailah Gifty Akita
There’s nothing better than the feeling of a freshly vacuumed and tidied house, but the feeling goes far beyond satisfaction and a sense of achievement. By actively cleaning your house, or choosing professional domestic cleaning services, you’re giving yourself a wealth of health benefits including:
Lower Levels Of Stress
Studies show that an untidy and unclean house leaves you feeling more stressed, which has a major impact on your physical and mental health overall. A clean house lowers those stress levels and leads to you feeling more relaxed overall.
Better Physical Health Contributing To Better Mental Health
With a freshly vacuumed home and an organised home you are less likely to struggle with the symptoms of common dust and pollen allergies, and you’re less likely to have a trip or fall, too.
Better Sleep, Contributing To Better Mental Health
72% of people say they sleep better in a clean house, and better sleep also contributes to better mental health - a double whammy of positive impact from cleaning.
A Better Diet Contributing To Better Mental Health
A clean and sparkling kitchen means more preparation space and overall hygiene - a free pass to create healthy culinary delights like stews, soups, smoothies and salads, rather than having to depend on convenience foods that use minimal space and pots to cook.
Better Focus
Research shows that your mind is much more likely to wander in an untidy house, and so when you have a more organised house you are able to focus better - essential if you’re one of the 14% of the UK working exclusively from home.
A Sense Of Pride
When your house is clean and tidy you feel a sense of pride about the place you love the most. You’re also more likely to invite people round and have impromptu get togethers, reducing your sense of loneliness, a known contributor to various physical and mental health issues.
Better Relationships
A messy house and all the stress and tension that comes with it, can contribute to family conflicts. A cleaner house helps everybody in the home feel more relaxed and happy, providing ample space for quality time together and memory-making.
Clean And Tidy For A Happier, Healthier Home
Whether you follow Marie Kondo, Mrs Hinch, have your own cleaning secrets, or hire a domestic cleaning company to get your home fresh and tidy, the fact is that a clean house certainly does equal a happy house. Why not get spritzing today for an instant improvement in the feel good vibes your home provides?
