A clean home is like heaven, there is no better feeling than walking into a fresh space. It takes a lot of effort to maintain and keep your house clean but it has its own advantages and perks. If you clean regularly and effectively, your house will always look as good as new, organised and full of life. Hygienically it is important to live in a clean house but it is also important to deep clean your home every once in a while, to get into crevices that you wouldn’t think about when doing a quick, daily clean.
Deep cleaning means focussing on carpets, furniture, kitchen appliances, bathrooms, behind cabinets and rugs which are common areas that get missed during day to day domestic cleaning. Benefits of deep cleaning include:
- Improved quality of air: If your home is filled with dust, it may cause eye irritation, asthma attacks, hay fever, sneezing, and coughing. With deep cleaning, any dust particles can be eliminated effectively, which can help improve your home’s indoor air quality significantly and reduce any possibility of illnesses or breathing issues.
- Removes bacteria and mites: dirty surfaces are sanctuaries for all types of unruly viruses and bacteria. Places such as bathrooms, living room, and kitchens contain the most viruses and bacteria in your home. Quick wipe-downs on the surfaces may help you keep bugs at bay, but will likely not be enough to completely eradicate them, so it is still wise to consider deep cleaning, as this means giving those high frequency touchpoints the cleaning attention they need.
- Minimise clutter: this is an obvious benefit, clutter can have a negative impact on your mental health, when your home is cluttered and dirty, you may feel unorganised and cluttered yourself, however, if the environment is clean and fresh, you’ll ultimately benefit from the changes by reinstating a sense of organisation and positivity in your life.
