Why I Love Cleaning

Cleaning.  It has to be done, so why not try to enjoy it?  Here are my top reasons I love cleaning.

1) It can relieve stress.  How many people have you talked to and they are feeling rushed or stressed because their home isn't in order?  How many times have you felt that way?  Too much!  Purging your home of clutter, organizing, and my favorite part, scrubbing, is all very therapeutic!  No stress about my house here!

2)  Good for your health.  Living in squalor with lots of dust is just plain out not good for you.  Allergies, asthma, food poisoning from a dirty kitchen, these are all things that can affect you when you have a dirty home.

3) Makes you happy and energized!  Cleaning can be like exercise, I know I've worked up a sweat scrubbing my shower!  Physical activity releases endorphins, which as we know, make you feel good!

4) You get the satisfaction of a job well done.  There is nothing more satisfying to me than scrubbing something until it looks new.  I love walking into my kitchen or bathroom and seeing the shine from the high gloss cabinets bounce to the shine of the sink to the shine of the stove!

5) It doesn't take all that long!  The journey to having a clean home can be easy!  Finding a good list of spots to deep clean and getting rid of clutter and boom!  There you go!  Once your home has been decluttered, cleaning becomes so fast!  Just work top to bottom and left to right.  Focus on one spot at a time and if you have to go put something away in another room, look around for more items to take with you!  That way you aren't running back and forth.  If there's a lot of stuff just fill up a laundry basket of stuff that doesn't belong in that room and put it away after you're done cleaning.

Happy Cleaning!
