Goodbye Winter! The 8 Benefits of Doing a Spring Cleaning
By Sleepwell Property Management Thursday, March 14, 2019
Spring is the ideal time to thoroughly clean every nook and cranny of your apartment or house after keeping it closed up all winter long. But did you know that spring cleaning also has several health benefits for you, too? In fact, spring cleaning is like hitting two birds with one stone — your home will look and feel like new and so will you. But that’s not the only reason to get out the mop and bucket out this spring — here are 8 other benefits of doing a spring cleaning.
It’s Easier To Find Things
Once you start cleaning, you’ll suddenly find those lost keys you’ve been missing since the summer, or that comb that slid under the couch, and a lot more. A spring clean also allows you to organize your house in a particular way so that you can find everything with ease.
You’ll Feel Fresh
Being stuck inside for months on end in the winter time can make it really difficult to muster the energy to get up and clean. But with all the extra light and warm spring air, you’ll have more pep in your step to tackle the cleaning so you can start fresh and live in a tidy space.
You Will Learn To Let Go
Getting rid of all the clutter is one of the biggest benefits of spring cleaning. By clearing out all the things around the house that you don’t need anymore, you’ll have more space to enjoy it.
You’ll Improve The Lifespan Of Your Appliances
Did you know that dirt and dust build-up can have a harmful effect on your appliances? Appliances that are rarely cleaned need to be repaired and replaced more often than those that get a good spring cleaning each year.
You’ll Be Able To Breathe in Cleaner Air
It’s particularly beneficial for people who suffer from seasonal allergies. After cleaning, the air will be far less polluted with dust, dirt, pollens, animal dander and other harmful particles.
It Can Be A Stress-Reliever
Spring cleaning can cure your post-holiday and daily stress. It can be therapeutic to dust surfaces, wipe windows, organize closets, and de-clutter the basement. Generally, a neat and organized home can have a positive influence on a person’s mental health and overall well-being too.
It Can Be A Good Workout
Cleaning up an entire house is definitely a physically draining activity. But on the flipside, it’s a great way to get a daily dose of exercise while tidying up your home.
It Can Help You Sleep Better At Night
Crisp sheets, a clean floor, and a dust-free room can all help you get a good night’s sleep. It’s easier to relax and fall asleep if your room looks neat and smells fresh.Happy Spring! back
