It's all too common for us to find ourselves with a home that requires a deep cleaning due to a lack of time and energy. The longer we procrastinate and put off tidying up, the harder it becomes to get rid of the built-up dirt and grime. Cleaning is an essential task, and it's important to stay on top of it to maintain a healthy and hygienic environment.
But despite the task's difficulty, it is necessary to tackle the buildup of dirt and dust to keep our living space in good condition. Wouldn’t it just be easier to put it off? You could, but here’s exactly what happens to a home without any cleaning done.
Worse Allergies
Dust mites are a common cause of allergies and asthma, and a dirty house can aggravate their proliferation. Common symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes and skin. Keeping your house clean can help reduce these symptoms.
These pesky critters are microscopic creatures that feed off of dead skin cells. To prevent them from spreading, items like bedding, furniture, curtains, rugs, carpets, toys, and stuffed animals should be washed in very hot temperatures (at least 130°F) and kept in an environment with low humidity (between 30 to 50 percent). Cleaning these items frequently with vacuuming, wet mopping, dusting, and washing can also help to keep dust mites away.
Mold Growth Where It’s Moist
Mold is a fungus that grows and spreads when moisture is around. It spreads through tiny spores that are carried through the air. Mold often grows in damp and humid places, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchen sinks, window frames, basements, and other areas that must be properly sealed.
To remove mold from a surface, first use a mold cleaner such as bleach, borax, or vinegar to treat the area. Then use a soft brush to scrub the surface until all the molds have been removed.
Filthy Bedding and Sheets
The Sleep Foundation suggests that bedding should be laundered at least every two weeks or more often if you tend to sweat significantly during sleep. Cleaning your sheets and blankets regularly will help to avoid the accumulation of dust mites, dirt, hair, pet fur, oils, food remnants, and other unpleasant substances in your bed.
To eliminate pesky insects or dust mites, perform a deep cleaning on your bed linens and sheets using hot, soapy water. The water should be at least 130°F (60°C) to ensure complete eradication.
More Pests
Decaying food and rubbish can draw in insects and other crawling critters, not discarding garbage. These uninvited visitors may decide to linger, bringing more difficulties than a smelly area. They may even propagate germs and illnesses throughout the residence. Removing the garbage lessens the danger of contamination and prevents vermin from residence.
Clutter can be a real eyesore, but it can benefit animals looking for shelter or a free meal. Stacks of books, mountains of clothes, and knick-knacks may provide a haven or even food for critters. So, while it might not be the most attractive sight, it can be a welcome refuge for little critters.
To Close
Skipping a good clean at home just invites more bacteria, mold, and pests to infest your home and cause all sorts of problems for your loved ones. Stop putting it off; get your vacuum, broom, and dustpan ready to get rid of all that dust in every nook and cranny.
