A messy home typically leads to (or encourages) a messy mind, and with one of those, your entire life can become negatively affected. With dirt and clutter so closely linked to poor physical and mental health, is it worth neglecting your home and letting it become a mess, when you could easily rectify the problem by hiring a cleaning service?
Why a cluttered home can be so bad for you
Even if you’re usually a person who is laidback and doesn’t easily get stressed out, a messy home can change all of that, especially when combined with other stress inducing factors in your life, such as a change of job, birth of a child, divorce etc.
A cluttered home can induce anxiety, reduce productivity and performance levels (in the workplace or any other area of life), dull your sense of focus and even cause harm to personal and professional relationships. Living in a constantly messy home can cause agitation and tension, and unless you live alone, this can spell big trouble.
If you’re already experiencing any of the above and believe it to be related to an untidy home, then hiring a cleaning service is a quick and effective way to take action and get your life back on track.
Below are some of the ways that a messy home can negatively impact your health:
- Send your stress levels sky high
Even if you don’t usually experience stress, living in an untidy, dirty environment can change all of that, and you may notice that you’re waking up feeling inexplicably sad, depressed or anxious.
- Lead to unhealthy food and eating habits
Long associated with stress and weight gain, a messy home can encourage our brains to turn to comforting junk foods as a method of coping, and the longer we do it (i.e. the longer we don’t tackle the messy home problem), the worse our health and eating habits become.
- Trigger respiratory problems
When a home is very messy, it’s likely very dusty, too, and even if you try to keep it dust-free, doing so is very hard with so much clutter to wade through and dust around. Dust can easily trigger any number of respiratory conditions, some with the potential to be life-threatening, as can a build-up of pet dander and other allergens.
The quickest way to solve the conundrum of a messy home and help us feel better all round – and with minimal effort on your part (which quite frankly, is the way it should be!), – is by hiring a regular cleaning service. With a variety of affordable packages to choose from, you can say goodbye to mess, clutter and dust, and start waking up to a clean, inspiring and stress-less home!
