The Importance of Deep Cleaning for Your Health and Wellbeing
Deep cleaning doesn't have to be a once-a-year chore. Experts say there are many health benefits to deep cleaning your home.
A clean home can boost your immune system and help you avoid illness. Plus, a tidy, uncluttered space can reduce stress and depression, and help you avoid injuries like tripping.
According to the American Cleaning Institute (ACI), 74% of Americans do general surface cleaning more often than deep cleaning. That leaves 26% who deep clean their home regularly — meaning they deep clean the entire house and floors, furniture, and surfaces.
Bathrooms and kitchens are typically the rooms that get deep cleaned most often. But don't forget about living rooms and bedrooms. We spend time in those rooms every day, so it's worth giving them some special treatment, too. According to ACI survey results, 60% of people deep clean because they recognize that their home needs a deep cleaning.
Other reasons for deep cleaning annually include decluttering and getting rid of unnecessary things, eliminating asthma or allergy triggers, and preventing the spread of disease.
The power of cleaning at home or in the workplace
Even if you've already done your annual cleaning, consider the following health and wellness benefits of deep cleaning your home at least twice a year:
Boost the immune system: Dust, mold, and pet dander can be allergy triggers.
Reduce stress and depression: A tidy, uncluttered home has a positive effect on people's daily mood and ability to focus. Plus, organizing, tossing, or donating can be mentally refreshing and liberating.
Sleep better: Less stress means better sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, people who make their bed every morning are 19% more likely to get a good night's rest.
Avoid illness: Keep surfaces clean to improve food safety and minimize the spread of harmful germs.
Increase productivity: Clutter and clutter are a distraction. Taking on too many things at once interferes with your brain's ability to process information.
You can boost your well-being today by dusting, vacuuming, washing and reorganizing. Now is the ideal time to get your regular cleaning routine in order.
Keeping a clean and tidy home doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start by establishing a daily cleaning routine. Just 10-15 minutes spent each day on tasks like making your bed, washing dishes, and picking up personal items can prevent clutter from accumulating and simplify deep cleaning.
"10 Practical Tips to Keep Your Home Clean and Tidy"
1. Establish a Daily Cleaning Routine
Spend 10-15 minutes a day on basic tasks like making the bed, washing dishes, and picking up personal items. This keeps clutter from building up and makes deep cleaning easier.
2. Organize by Zones
Divide your home into zones (kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, etc.) and focus on one each day. This helps you not feel overwhelmed and keep everything clean consistently.
3. Use Multipurpose Products
Invest in cleaning products that work for multiple surfaces (glass, floors, furniture). This simplifies the process and reduces the amount of products you need to stock.
4. Clean from Top to Bottom
Always start with the highest areas (shelves, fans) and finish with the floors. This prevents dust and dirt from falling on already clean areas.
5. Keep Floors Dirt-Free
Place doormats at entryways to reduce the amount of dirt and dust that comes into your home. Vacuum or sweep floors regularly, especially in high-traffic areas.
6. Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces
Clean frequently touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches, and remote controls, frequently. Use a disinfectant to kill germs and bacteria.
7. Avoid Clutter Buildup
Adopte the “a place for everything and everything in its place” rule. If you don’t use something in more than 6 months, consider donating or throwing it away.
8. Clean Appliances Regularly
Don’t forget to clean your microwave, refrigerator, and washing machine. Regular maintenance extends the life of these appliances and prevents bad odors.
9. Ventilate Your Home
Open windows regularly to allow air circulation and reduce odors. This also helps prevent moisture and mold buildup.
10. Hire a Professional Cleaning Service
For a deeper, more detailed cleaning, consider hiring a professional service. Cleaning experts have the tools and knowledge to leave your home spotless.
