Clean house = Happy life
A new survey of 2,000 homeowners found 78% believe there’s a direct link between their home’s tidiness and their health.
Three-quarters agree their stress levels increase when the inside of their home is messy.
Over 70% believe this carries over when their outdoor spaces are unkempt.
Research found 72% feel their spring cleaning also plays a role in improving their well-being.
Other motivations to clean include feeling productive, welcoming the change of seasons, and preparing for other spring activities.
It also found 68% percent say their spring cleaning always feels overwhelming, and the average person puts off their most labour-intensive task for six days.
For good reason, their checklists start with cleaning the bathroom, cleaning out the fridge, and then cleaning and organising the garage.
Apparently 30% plan to make some upgrades to their homes.
Six in 10 people feel pressure to maintain their home’s exterior to keep up with the rest of their neighbourhood.
