Cleaning for mental health

5 Reasons why cleaning improves your mental health.

Sometimes when people are feeling stressed or overwhelmed, they might decide to do some yoga, get a massage or meditate, but there are others who find that dusting, cleaning the bathroom or even re organising their cupboard is just as beneficial for their mental health. As a matter of fact, for some, the simple sight of a clean, tidy and organised home can actually help them unwind and de-stress even after long day.

Look at these Helpful hints as to why Cleaning is good for you!

1. Decluttering improves focus

Struggling to focus could be a direct result of your environment. Look around you – piles of paperwork, unopened bills, breakfast bowl? These incomplete tasks can  all result in your brain feeling overwhelmed and therefore unable to focus.

2. Cleaning releases endorphins

We all know about the physical benefits of exercise and that it releases endorphins, the good news is that the physical exertion of cleaning can  do the same. The endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain, triggering a positive feeling in your body, which can help to reduce stress, lessen anxiety and ward off depression.

3. Sleep better

According to the National Sleep Foundation people who make their beds every morning are up to 19% more likely to get a good night’s rest. Even better, 75% percent said they sleep better when their sheets are freshly laundered as they feel more comfortable. And of course a better nights sleep vastly improves our energy levels and improve mental health.

4. Boost your mood with scent

Sounds mad but how your home smells can hugely improve your mood. Aromatherapy proves this by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression through the use of essential oils. So a musty smelling room will probably impact your mental health negatively. Many cleaning products (including Aroma Care’s Bio one™ deep clean + surface cleanser) are scented with citrus or grapefruit which has an energising effect and will give you the lift you need.

5. Sense of achievement 

And of course the buzz that we get once we have completed a task that we have all been putting off like cleaning, gives us a rush of endorphins which can only improve mental health and boost our mood.

So get tidying, sort out the paperwork, get rid of the grime and de clutter your mind.

What are enzymes?

Don’t be fooled to think that because enzymes are natural they are less effective than chemical cleaners. Enzymes are nature’s very own powerful cleaning tools. Making them the go to choice for Customer who do not want to spray harmful chemicals around their home.

Simply put, enzymes are all around us performing millions of important tasks in our bodies and in nature every single day. They are a type of protein that act like a biological catalyst to speed up the break down of organic compounds.

Similarly to how saliva, (which contains enzymes), initiates the digestion process by breaking down food in our mouths, cleaning enzymes use the same ‘enzymatic digestion’ to effectively break down and eradicate the organic proteins present in urine, faeces, vomit, drool, dirt, food, and more.

This process not only makes cleaning easier but also prevents the growth of bad bacteria – the root cause of those unpleasant odours – in the air, on surfaces, and within the fibres of your soft furnishings.
