The Importance Of Having A Clean House
Let’s be honest, the continuous ritual of putting things away, dusting,
vacuuming, scrubbing and shining is not anyone’s idea of a fun time. However,
as tedious as the chore of cleaning house can be, making an effort to keep
things tidy is extremely important to maintaining both mental and physical
health.
Below are a few reasons why it is important to have a clean home as well as a
few practical ways in which to do so.
Regular housekeeping kills germs: Germs can suppress the immune
system and cause you to become sick often. These sick-causing germs
like to live on the surfaces of the home. Almost everything you do can
create germs in the house – touching door knobs and countertops,
taking off your shoes, scratching your hair, using the toilet and eating
your dinner can create germs. However, by continuously cleaning your
home with a quality disinfectant, you can kill up to 98 percent of the
daily germs and help keep your family healthy.
Improves the quality of the indoor air: According to the American
Lung Association, poor indoor air quality can trigger disorders such as
allergies and asthma as well as other breathing problems. The air in the
home can become degraded from accumulated dust bunnies, mildew
and animal dander.
Enhances the aesthetics of the home: A clean and organized home is a
beautiful home. Organization forces you to focus on the qualities of the
house. Instead of looking at piles of clutter and a sink full of dishes, your
focus will go to your beautiful furniture and shiny appliances.
Improves mental clarity and deters stress: Keeping your home clean
is one of the easiest ways to improve clarity and deter stress. Walking
into a filthy house can instantly put you in a funk of a mood, and piles of
clutter and disorganization can trigger brain fog and depression.
