Now is the perfect time for Spring Cleaning! Now many of us are spending more time at home due to Coronavirus restrictions, Spring Cleaning your luxury Bahamas home can make you happier, healthier and can also help you be more productive if you are working from home.
Here are just some of the benefits that Spring Cleaning brings:
- A Spring Clean can improve heart health. Vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning floors for 30 minutes a day, as opposed to sitting down and resting, is a great workout and can cut the risk of heart disease by around one-quarter, Swedish research suggests.
- Clearing away dirt, dust, and pet hair relieves allergy symptoms and can ease asthma.
- Studies suggest that cleaning can make you happier. Just 20 minutes of housework can reduce stress levels by 20% and the harder the clean, the greater the benefit. Lemon-scented cleaning products help reduce stress, too.
- Every half-hour of vacuuming burns up to 111 calories, increasing your heart rate and adding to your daily step count.
- Three-quarters of those who change the bed sheets sleep better at night as they are more comfortable, according to a National Sleep Foundation poll. It also may help to use a relaxing room scent.
- If you are working from home, cleaning and tidying your workstation can improve productivity.
- Clearing clutter from your desk helps your focus and concentration, as clutter limits brain-processing capacity, research from the Journal of Neuroscience suggests.
- Listening to music while you clean boost endorphins and makes you feel happier.
- After your Spring Clean is finished, not only will your home feel cleaner and brighter, but you will feel fulfilled at a task well done!
