Many people see professional cleaning services as luxury. Some even go as far as saying, it’s only for spoiled rich households that are too lazy to do the job themselves. But those are pretty bitter and old beliefs. In reality, using pro cleaning services is a health investment in many different ways. While the benefits of a constantly clean and disinfected home for the body may be more apparent, a lot of individuals do not realise what a massive impact cleaning services can have on mental health.
Is my house clean enough?
Even for people who are not diagnosed with a clinical OCD, this is a common question that causes high anxiety levels and fear of judgement. It happens predominantly to women, who for centuries have been told by society that the maintenance of a clean, welcoming and healthy home is their responsibility. Even in modern times, when women spend more hours, weeks and years in the workforce, the majority of expectations on housework still falls on them. Using a regular professional cleaning service can be such a massive relief for the working woman. She could focus on her tasks at work, progress in her career or grow her business without compromising with the condition, safety and atmosphere at her home.
Can this break my relationship?
There is often tension between partners in a couple when the house doesn’t look its best. Many modern men take more and more active part in the chores at home and share the responsibilities at home with their other half. Yet, in busy households, mess happens quickly and different people have different tolerance caps on how their living environment looks. One half may complain that the house is always untidy, the other one may be unhappy with the fact they feel like an unpaid maid. Professional cleaning services are a great solution for situations like this, even if they are not booked on a regular basis. One-off cleans, or a deep clean can reduce the stress significantly and give a wornout couple the chance to spend some quality time together, rekindling their love.
I sleep better, I feel better
Professional cleaning helps you have a healthy home without excessive stress. What is more, it helps you manage stress that may be coming from other places. Reducing the clutter at home means you have more space to breathe and less mental distractions. Your brain doesn’t have to work as hard as it would if you were living in a chaotic environment. The air you inhale would be free of allergens and germs, which will help you fall asleep easier at night and spend more time in deep sleep or REM. This is essential for good mental health and your ability to manage external stress. Carpet, upholstery and steam cleaning are particularly beneficial for reducing stress and improving your mood and your overall mental health.
Feeling stressed at work, home or something makes you unsettled but you can’t quite put your finger on it? You need a break. You need some you-time. Get it! Book a professional cleaning service and use the time you would normally use to take care of the house, to take care of YOU!
