How does your home make you feel? How often do you clean and tidy your home?
The cobwebs in the corner, soiled floor mats, the worn-out sponge in the sink, and errant crumbs, books, and toys scattered all over the floor leave us with a feeling of disgust most of the time. And to top it all we have our everyday stress to deal with. Keeping a clean and tidy home not only keeps the family healthier, but it also reduces unwarranted exhaustion and strain. What more than a great feeling of a clean home and clean space for the family to rest
A clean home makes you calm. After a long day, nobody wants to be greeted by a sink full of dishes or a house full of clutter. And research show messy homes increase stress levels and claims clean homes help people overcome feelings of depression. The instant experience of relaxation the house is meant to give is all you get when you walk into a clean home
Remember the frustration when you try to find a key from under the pile of things lying on the couch, or and an envelope from a messy desk. I’m sure just thinking about it now is frustrating. The easiest thing to do is replacing something after using it at its appropriate place than spending 20-30 minutes trying to find it later. Easier to find things in an organized home. Now you can save up the time and go grab a bite with your friends without guilt.
There are a lot of things that cleaning can have a positive influence on like it increases your productivity, the quality of air indoor, and more than anything you’ll fall in love with the activity itself. Focusing on all the important tasks in life is most required especially when we work from home. Giving it all the attention is important. Sitting in a sea of distraction with a dining table or kitchen that’s not cleaned, or a messy bedroom isn’t going to help.
Regular dusting, mopping, and laundering of bedding upholstery and carpets will remove the dust and allergen build-up inside your home. This will in turn improve the air quality and help you breathe and sleep easier. When your home isn’t just a big list of to-do things it becomes a great space to rest and feel refreshed. This activity might not be like a trip to the gym, but it sure does offer you some good exercise, so take 20 minutes off your workout schedule and get cleaning.
Make this a fun family activity, break down chores and have the partner and children support. You’ll be amazed to see the result is not just a clean home, but the satisfaction of a group activity that can bond altogether. Just enjoy your regular cleaning routine and you’ll never have to apologize to people visiting about the mess ever again.
