Do A Clean House and Mental Health Go Hand in Hand?
Cleaning And Mental Health
The feeling of control over your environment, the satisfaction of seeing a job well done, and the repetitive motion of cleaning can all have a calming effect on the mind.
Cleaning Has Physical Benefits, Too
One of the most important indicators of physical health is cleanliness. Experts believe that spending 30 minutes a day cleaning was an effective form of exercise and that those who lived in tidy homes were less affected by seasonal changes in the weather.
The Relationship Between Clutter And Productivity
A messy home can be a source of distraction. Some people can’t focus on other projects until they’ve tidied up. For others, clutter has a bigger impact on mood. People are less distracted, less anxious, less irritable, and more productive when they are in a clean, tidy room.

How to Clean and Relax
Cleaning improves your mental health, that’s a fact, however, it’s challenging to prioritize cleaning in an already busy life.
Here are some tips:
• One thing at a time: The most accessible way to clean is in blocks of time. Set blocks of 5, 10, or 30 minutes to focus on a specific cleaning and organizing task. Don’t do more than you should. Do just enough to feel accomplished, don’t be in a rush to do the whole house cleaning.
• Treat yourself: Turn 200 minutes of cleaning into 20 minutes of me time. Listen to fun music, put on a TV show while you clean, or listen to a podcast that’s relaxing, informative, or energizing to prepare you for whatever task comes after your cleaning session.
• Get the family involved: Ask your partner or children to do the cleaning with you. It’s a great opportunity to stay up to date, stay active.
• Get help: If stress, anxiety or depression are issues you face, make cleaning part of improving your mental health.
