3 Health Benefits of Deep Cleaning Your Home
Have you ever sat in your living room, looked around, and thought, "This place is a screaming mess! It could use a deep cleaning?" If so, you are not alone. Every day, millions of folks wonder the same thing and choose to call a cleaning service they know and trust. Seems that it's just human nature to prefer a clean living space, and cleanliness in general. Heck, even that Penny Lane fireman, the one who kept a portrait of the queen in his pocket, liked to keep his fire engine clean (it was a clean machine). It's an established fact: people want to live amid cleanliness, not dirt, grime, and clutter. But, deep cleaning the place by yourself is a major task, and is not a job for the faint of heart. Not only does it take many hours, but you'd better be in excellent physical shape to do all the sub-tasks like upholstery cleaning, vacuuming, window cleaning, removing clutter, floor cleaning, disinfecting bathrooms, carpet cleaning, and much (much) more.

And when the germ, dust, and bacterial level is near zero, you'll suffer fewer bouts of all those annoying illnesses like colds, flu, and recurring sinus infections. It's no coincidence that doctors pronounce healthy patients as having a "clean bill of health." Two: Sound Sleep and Better Mental Health It's easier to sleep soundly in a clean room. It seems like the human brain is better able to relax in a neat, tidy, and generally clean space. Maybe that's one reason people often sleep more deeply, and longer, when they stay in luxury hotels rather than in messy, cluttered bedrooms. That guy with the pointy beard who once said, "To sleep, perchance to dream... " understood something about the overall goodness of getting a good night's shut-eye. They didn't have deep-cleaning services in his day, but even then, people appreciated the healthful, rejuvenating feeling of high-quality sleep. Three: A More Nutritious Diet What? How can a clean living space make you eat better? That seems like a totally illogical disconnect, but it's not. When kitchens are clean, clutter-free, and hygienic, you'll naturally want to spend more time using them to prepare meals. Sadly, folks whose kitchens are in a state of messy disarray eat out more often. That's not only costlier but usually means eating lots [...]
