Positives of Cleaning

  • Cleaning gives you a short mental break by allowing you to stop overthinking about everyday stressors. For a few minutes a day, you are able to take some time for yourself, quiet your mind, and focus on one thing you have control over - cleaning. 

  • Cleaning makes you feel better. "Cleaning can be a beautiful practice of non-attachment and realizing that we are not defined by the things that surround us.” - Elizabeth Su, mindfulness expert, in an interview with Elite Daily.

  • Cleaning is great exercise! According to Shape Magazine, an hour mopping floors burns 153 calories, vacuuming for 30 minutes burns 119 calories, washing floors can burn up to 187 calories, and moving around furniture for 15 minutes can burn 100 calories.*

  • Cleaning gives you a sense of accomplishment. Especially in these unprecedented times, we’re all looking for short-term goals and projects. Finishing a cleaning project provides you with an end product and a feeling of productivity. Plus, you can visibly see the fruits of your
    labor!
