You may be shocked to learn, a clean home not only reduces stress levels, it also makes you less prone to becoming unwell.

Asthma, allergies and irritated eyes are a few symptoms that occur when your home is untidy and if you have been suffering with a cold lately, the first thing to do is to create a healthy home.

Step One – Tidy Up

First things first, decide which items you want to keep in your home and which items can be thrown away, kept safe in storage or donated to charity.

Items such as extra chairs, seasonal clothing, keepsake items etc. are best kept in a safe and secure area such as self storage.

Clothes which you have not worn for numerous years, have little sentiment attached to them and are in good condition can be donated to charity.

Once you have decided which items you are keeping and which items you are throwing away, it is time to clean!

Step Two – Clean

Now your home is organised, start thoroughly cleaning each room. If you notice mould or water damage, this needs to be checked asap, especially if you or a person living in your home suffers from asthma or has allergies.

If redecorating your home has crossed your mind, then there is no time like the present! Your hard work has allowed you to have a clean and tidy home and a fresh coat of paint can work wonders in brightening up your home.

Step Three – Do not slack

Even though your home at this moment is clean, tidy and organised, remember to keep on top of your cleaning tasks.

While it is easy to go back to old ways, don’t let your hard work become undone as a safe and healthy home will help prevent illnesses occurring!
