with the cleanest homes were also the healthiest and most active, according to the study
results. In fact, the findings also suggested that encouraging people to maintain their home's
cleanliness may be even more important to their overall health than the walk ability of the
neighborhood they live in. "At the end of the day, the interior condition of their house seemed
to be the only thing affecting their physical activity," said Keith. "It was not at all what we
expected." It's clear by Keith's statement that their discovery surprised even the researchers,
but are these findings really so shocking? Florence Nightingale, a pioneer of modern nursing,
famously quoted, "The connection between health and the dwelling of the population is one of
the most important that exists." Even the Environmental Protection Agency admits that indoor
air can be up to five times more polluted than the outdoors. If the average person spends up to
90 percent of their time indoors, we are breathing in dust mites, pet dander, pollen, mold, bug
skeletons, and toxins from such innocuous sources as conventional cleaning products and even
chemicals emitted from our own clothing and bedding. These toxins manifest themselves as
symptoms most people attribute to allergies such as itchy eyes, runny nose, and wheezing, but
which should actually be blamed on an unclean house. And the germy culprits aren't always
where you think they are. College in Boston, found staphylococcus bacteria, a common cause of
serious skin infections, in 26 percent of the tubs she tested, compared with just 6 percent of
garbage cans. Yes, these statistics provide scientific proof that the mental and health benefits
of a clean environment are very real; but, we also look to the renewed energy and happiness
our clients describe to us after one of our visits. When we hear our clients use words such as
"therapeutic," "relaxing," and "motivating" to describe their newly cleaned homes and offices
we are reminded that a clean home is truly the embodiment of the science and soul holistic
cleaning philosophy we maintain at Green house Eco-Cleaning.
