Those with a messier home, suffer from the most stress. This is because it’s a constant reminder of things that they need to get done. Not only this but it’s really hard to find things when your home is cluttered.

If you say, lose your work keys you’ll be left scrambling looking for them. If your house was organized you would have known exactly where to look.

A messy home is a breeding ground for things such as mold, mildew, and dust, all of which will make you sick or at least set off your allergies. This is because they greatly reduce the air quality in your home.

Once these things have entered your home they can be annoying to get rid of so it’s better to just not let them get in the first place.

Harmless clutter can quickly turn into tragedy. When there is a bunch of stuff laying around it’s more likely that you will trip over it and hurt yourself. Granted, this could resort in just a few bruises but more often than not, people have sprained or broken bones from serious falls.

Clutter also blocks doorways so if a fire were to break out it would be harder for you to exit your home. The Clutter will also lessen your time to get out because it’s just kindling for the fire.

Mold, mildew, and dust aren’t the only things that will make you sick. Pests love dark places, and clutter that they can hide in. If you have a bunch of food laying around then that just sweetens the pot for them.

Most of these pests carry diseases that can make you and your family ill so it’s better to just clean up and put your food away when you’re done with it.

You should clean your home every day for more than aesthetic purposes or because you’re expecting guests to come over for a visit. You’ll be happier, healthier, and safer overall with a clean home to come back to every day.
