Benefits of a Clean Home on your mental health:
1.Reduce Stress
Research has shown that living in a cluttered environment increases stress.
Maintaining a clean and organized home can help reduce stress, lift
your mood, and make you feel more in control
2. Increase Ability to Focus
Evidence suggests that having a messy, cluttered environment can
create stress and interfere with your ability to concentrate
Meanwhile, researchers have also found that clutter can make it
difficult to focus on a particular task. More specifically, they
discovered that a person’s visual cortex can be overwhelmed by objects
not related to a particular task, making it harder to focus and
complete projects efficiently.
3. Increase Positive Emotions like calmness and a sense of well being
In some ways, clutter and mess are linked to negative emotions like
confusion, tension, and irritability, while an organized home produces
more positive emotions like calmness and a sense of well-being.
To the brain, clutter represents unfinished business and this lack of
completeness can be highly stressful for some people. This fact is
especially true when people have significant concerns pressing in on
their lives.
4. Improve Physical Health
A clean home also impacts your physical health. According to a study
by Nicole Keith, PhD, a research scientist and professor at Indiana
University, people with clean houses tend to be healthier than those
with messy or cluttered homes.5
In fact, cleanliness was even more a predictor of good health than the
walkability of a neighborhood.
