Spring is a time of new beginnings, and what better way to start fresh than with a clean home? More than day-to-day chores like wiping down surfaces, sweeping, and vacuuming, this season calls for a deep clean to get rid of the dirt, grime, and clutter of winter. In addition to leaving your space looking its best, this process can also improve your health. Here’s how. 

Why Deep Clean This Spring?

1. Reduce Allergy Symptoms

If you frequently experience cold and flu-like symptoms, such as dry or watery eyes, a sore throat, sneezing and coughing, runny nose or congestion, or difficulty breathing, allergies may be to blame. Although many allergens, like pollen, originate outdoors, others, like dust mites and pet dander, are typically found inside. These allergens can affect anyone but are particularly problematic for those with asthma and other respiratory issues. A house cleaner will address all areas of the home, including hard-to-reach spots, such as light fixtures, rafters, nooks and crannies, and spaces behind furniture, where allergens tend to accumulate.

2. Eliminate Viruses & Bacteria

In addition to allergens, homes are havens for bacteria and viruses. Routine cleaning is helpful, but a thorough scrubbing is essential to eradicate tougher bugs. For instance, appliances like the washing machine can harbor mold and bacteria that you’d likely miss with a quick wipe-down. The refrigerator, shower, and bath are other hotbeds for bacteria, which a professional housekeeper will address.

3. Improve Your Mood

A spotless environment can improve your mood. And by having a professional deep clean your home, you’ll get to skip the work and enjoy the benefits. Living and working in an orderly space may reduce stress and boost your happiness and productivity.

4. Wards Off Pests

Microscopic pests like dust mites aren’t the only ones who can make your house a home. Bugs and rodents, for example, may seek shelter or food in your house, particularly in areas such as the kitchen where crumbs can accumulate. Regularly taking out the trash, vacuuming, and sweeping reduces the likelihood of an infestation, but a more thorough effort is necessary to ensure no area is neglected.
