Currently, it is the safest option for everyone, but that doesn\u2019t mean that it can\u2019t be mentally and physically straining. Spending all day working, relaxing, eating and sleeping in one household can be incredibly draining. Believe it or not, cleaning your home could be the most effective way to rid yourself of self-isolation slump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The physical benefits&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The mental benefits&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The health benefits&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The working benefits&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>How Laundryheap can help <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>The physical benefits&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be hard to establish an exercise routine when you are confined to the space in your home. Regular cleaning is an easy and productive way to stay active without venturing outside. In addition, vigorous cleaning, such as wiping down walls and cleaning the oven, is a great way to rid yourself of any negative energy you may be carrying, due to the energy that is burnt carrying out the task.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/wiping-wall.jpg?resize=910%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/wiping-wall.jpg?w=910&amp;ssl=1 910w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/wiping-wall.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/wiping-wall.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/wiping-wall.jpg?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>The mental benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it may not be the most exciting activity to do, cleaning your home comes with an array of mental health benefits. For example, when people experience high levels of anxiety, they tend to gravitate towards repetitive behaviours, such as cleaning. Carrying out the repetitive task of cleaning makes them feel in control and, therefore, decreases their anxiety level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is vital during this precarious time that we all remain as calm as we possibly can. On average, people who have messy homes have higher levels of cortisol, a stress induced hormone. Alternatively, researchers have found that cleaning your home can lead to feelings of accomplishment and subsequent calmness. If you are feeling irritated whilst stuck in self-isolation a quick 15-minute tidy of your surrounding area could help reduce that irritation and make you calmer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to keeping your home clean, it is important to keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-care-for-your-bed-linen\/\">linens clean.<\/a> A study by The National Sleep Foundation found that 75% of people sleep better when their sheets are freshly washed due to feeling more comfortable. A good night&#8217;s sleep leaves people feeling well-rested and both physically and mentally ready for the day ahead. Despite being at home throughout the day, it is important whilst self-isolating to remain in a routine, which includes getting a good night&#8217;s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"909\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/sheetz.jpg?resize=909%2C511&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/sheetz.jpg?w=909&amp;ssl=1 909w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/sheetz.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/sheetz.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/sheetz.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>The health benefits&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s now more important than ever to clean our homes and eliminate harmful germs and bacteria. Germs can weaken our immune system and make us more susceptible to becoming ill. However, regularly cleaning our homes with disinfectant can kill up to 98% of the daily bacteria we could come into contact with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result of increasing the amount of time we are spending indoors, it is vital to be aware of indoor air pollution. Dust, dirt and poor ventilation are all contributing factors to indoor air pollution and can result in increasing the severity of an individuals allergens. The longer you put off cleaning your home the more polluted the air will become. Fifteen minutes of cleaning a day can sufficiently decrease the air pollution in your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"727\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spray-bottle-cleaning-supplies-chores-household-preview.jpg?resize=727%2C409&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spray-bottle-cleaning-supplies-chores-household-preview.jpg?w=727&amp;ssl=1 727w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spray-bottle-cleaning-supplies-chores-household-preview.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spray-bottle-cleaning-supplies-chores-household-preview.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>The working benefits&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you are working from home it can be very easy to become distracted and forget about your work. In 2011 a Princeton University study found that clutter can increase the difficulty of focusing on a task. On a subconscious level, clutter is associated with negative emotions, such as confusion, tension, irritability and worry. Decluttering your home can not only make cleaning more efficient, but can also lead to a clearer mind and heightened sense of calm. This can make it easier to focus on your tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ever become mentally blocked whilst your working from home try washing the dishes. A study published in the journal, Mindfulness, found that people who engaged in mindfully washing the dishes- taking in the scent of the washing-up liquid and letting the water soak into their skin- experience a 25% improvement in mental inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/blog.laundryheap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hand-washin.jpg?fit=611%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hand-washin.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hand-washin.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hand-washin.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hand-washin.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hand-washin.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hand-washin.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/peapodlabs\/\">peapod labs<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Laundryheap can help<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are running low on cleaning supplies, our <a href=\"https:\/\/store.laundryheap.com\/\">Essentials Pack<\/a> is available across London and includes cleaning supplies, as well as toilet paper and toothpaste.
