It helps keep you organized: Cleaning your home regularly helps keep you organized.  You know where all your things are and don’t waste time trying to find your keys or important documents.

Reduces stress: Not only is it stressful having to search for lost items, but not cleaning increases stress.  Just looking at cluttered spaces is stressful.  It reminds you of all the things you need to do and makes your home seem smaller than it actually is.  Instead of worrying about how you never clean your living room, avoid stress by cleaning weekly.

It keeps you from collecting junk: By regularly cleaning your home, you get rid of unwanted papers, junk mail, and other items you don’t need anymore.  Don’t let this stuff pile up – look through it every few weeks and get rid of what you can as soon as possible.

Reduces allergies: If your house or apartment isn’t cleaned regularly, dust and other allergens will build up.  Cleaning every week will help avoid allergies or other breathing problems.

Avoid spreading germs:  Keeping your house clean will stop the spread of germs and help keep you healthy. Cleaning up spills, vacuuming your carpets, and keeping your kitchen and bathroom clean will kill germs.  Avoid getting sick by cleaning your home.

Keeps out pests: Bugs and rodents are attracted to spills, food particles, and other sources of food.  If you don’t clean your kitchen, dining room, and other place you eat, you have a higher chance of having pests.  Not only are pests unpleasant, they also spread germs and allergens.
