Have you ever had that inexplicable feeling of lethargy and frustration? That feeling of general crampedness and discomfort in the back of your mind, out of sight but not out of mind? The cause of all this could be a messy and dirty home.

The lack of a thorough tidy-up can and will make your humble abode a lot less comfortable and relaxing than it should be.

Let’s explore some of the ill effects that dirt, dust and clutter can cause you and your family to experience.

1. Skin irritation

While a quick wipe down of surfaces and furniture can help, invisible bacteria and dust often collect on items within piles of clutter. Combined with the time you spend at home, the dust and bacteria could be stirred up and end up on your skin, causing those pesky itches you sometimes experience after spending significant time at home. For particularly bad cases or those with sensitive skin, a dirty and cluttered living space can even contribute to acne and skin allergies.

2. Respiratory problems

Does the air feel heavy and suffocating despite being at home and away from all the hustle and bustle of daily commute? A cluttered home makes it harder to keep things clean. Dust made up of dirt, fabric, dead skin cells and bits of dead insects can fill the air in your home, making it hard on your lungs and nose and even worsening any allergies you and your family may have.

Household mould, another respiratory irritant, can also accumulate under and behind large furniture such as beds and couches and contribute to the issue, becoming very difficult to eradicate by yourself if allowed to spread and take further root.

3. Poorer mental health

Are you losing things constantly at home, lacking table space to do your work and finding your home seemingly shrinking amidst all the unsightly clutter? All these can cause frustration and add up, negatively affecting your mental health. Having a clean home can benefit your mental health significantly. While taking a day to tidy up and organise your home may help, it can be difficult and exhausting to do on a regular basis, especially if you share your home with other people who contribute to the clutter with their own belongings.

A messy, disorganised home also contributes to a lack of focus, increased anxiety and forgetfulness. All these can spill over and affect other areas of your life, such as your ability to get good rest and be productive.
