1. Allergy Symptom Reduction. A thorough cleaning can greatly reduce the amount of dust in your home, which is helpful considering dust mite allergies are the number one cause of bronchial asthma in the world. About 2.3 million Canadians have been diagnosed with asthma. A 2014 study found that cleaning and decluttering your home can help you avoid allergy symptoms and make you feel more healthy. 2. Cleanliness Produces Happiness. Maybe you don’t enjoy the process of cleaning, but the end result will leave you smiling. A 2010 study found that having a clean home can improve your mood and reduce your risk of depression. Studies also show that doing housework for 20 minutes can reduce stress and anxiety by up to 20 percent. 3. Better Heart Health. If you’re l ook i ng for an easy way to support your heart health, just 30 minutes per day of light exercise (including low- intensity physical activities l ike household chores, vacuuming, mopping, and scrubbing
floors) can decrease your risk of heart disease by 24 percent. 4. Declutter and Do a Good Deed by Donating. An essential part of a successful spring cleaning is getting rid of old items that are no longer used or worn. Apply the rule of thumb that if you haven’t made use of something in a year, it’s time for it to go. Fill bags and boxes of things, then donate them to a local charity so they can still be beneficial to someone else. Giving to others is an act that is associated with greater self-esteem, lower stress levels, and overall happiness. 5. Get a Better Night’s Sleep. Do you have trouble sleeping at night? In a recent poll, it was found that people who make their beds are 19 percent more likely to sleep well on a regular basis. Clean sheets with a fresh scent impacted 75 percent of those individuals polled. See what a difference spring cleaning can make by cleaning the clutter from your room and sleeping on some fresh sheets.

“Fantastic! Couldn’t ask for more professional staff that cares about their patients. Always looking to help better your situation. Stan was encouraging but always giving me new exercises and ideas to strengthen my back. It was a collective effort with the staff, right down to the front desk working me in, taking care of insurance, and giving me calls to remind me of appointments. I am walking out of here straighter and stronger than when I walked in and with a team behind me. Thank you, Blue Ridge Physical Therapy!” –W. C.
