How Important is Keeping a Clean House? (Guest Post)

Everyone likes a clean house. The fresh odors, the lack of clutter and the organized neatness seem to soothe the soul. But residences don’t clean themselves just yet, although it probably isn’t too far off when we’ll have robots to help with the daily chores. 

In the meantime, keeping your home a welcome environment to come home to can be a challenge and take a lot of effort. However, if you regularly clean rather than allowing the dust, grime and clutter to build up, your house can always stay looking organized and smelling clean.
​
Some people love doing the housework for the pure joy of knowing everything is spotless, and it’s keeping the family healthy. And let’s face it, we all have to do housework at some time. A messy home seems to give a feeling of chaos and discomfort, so here are some of the reasons why it’s important to keep a clean house:

​You’ll Have an Allergen-Free, Healthy Home

If a family member suffers from allergies or has a compromised immune system, you need to keep on top of the house cleaning to keep them healthy. Regular cleaning, vacuuming the allergen filled dust from carpets and floors is a must. 

Other dust-gathering household items such as blinds, window sills, furniture and fittings need regular cleaning, so sensitive skin and noses aren’t irritated. Clean air conditioning vents as well, since it could be blowing dust particles into the air, which is a health hazard. 

Also, keep in mind that mess attracts vermin and pests, so call the pest controller and get rid of any unwanted house guests!

You’ll Get More Things Done

Ever wondered why you dither and find yourself running around in circles when you need to get things done?  The truth is, your house is probably as untidy as your mind and vice versa. Unless you can get your home organized, you might find it hard to catch up. 

If you keep your home clean and organized, you won’t need to panic clean, and you’ll get much more done. If you’re creative, a clean house will relax your mind and help you do what you do best. Give it a try!

You Won’t Keep Losing Things

Can’t find your cell phone or car keys? Asking yourself why this keeps happening, especially when you’re in a rush? Keeping your home clean can also help you to keep track of things in your home, so you won’t be wasting time searching for misplaced belongings. 

Another part of maintaining an organized house is sorting the mail when it arrives rather than leaving it for later. Recycle or shred any papers you no longer need. 

You’ll Feel More Like Inviting Guests

Nobody feels like inviting people over for dinner or even a chat if the house is a mess. And if someone calls in unexpectedly, it can be somewhat embarrassing for both you and your guest. Some people who live in chaos stop inviting people, which means friends eventually fall away and they’re left alone in a dirty house. That’s no fun! Don’t let a messy house come between you and a social life with friends and family with whom you love to spend time. 

A Clean Home is Good For the Kids

Yes, children need exposure to the world to help build resistance and strengthen their immune systems, but that doesn’t mean they should live in a pigsty. Since babies and toddlers, and children of any age will want to crawl or play about on the floor, it’s best if the molds, viruses and bacteria are kept to a minimum. 

You’ll Get a Better Night’s Sleep

Oh, the pleasure of sliding in between fresh, clean sheets at night! And if you know the house is clean and organized, the pest inspection has been done, and the cockroaches are gone, you’ll sleep better. And when you wake to order and cleanliness, you’ll get sail through your day with ease. There will be a time and a place for everything. Why not set up a routine?
