Connection Between Laundry Habits and Mental Health: How a Clean Space Can Improve Wellbeing

Lucy Payton February 1, 2023 2 min read

We often overlook the importance of laundry and cleaning habits in our daily lives. But these small acts of doing household chores each day significantly impact our mental health and well-being. Some people love the simple slight of a clean and organized home; it helps them feel calm and settled after an overwhelming day.

Here is a closer look at how good cleaning and laundry habits can positively affect our mental health.

A Cluttered and Disorganized Environment can Have a Negative Impact on Mental Health

Several studies have already shown that a cluttered and disorganized environment contributes to stress and anxiety. A messy environment creates a sense of chaos and disorder. Meanwhile, when we have a clean and tidy environment, our brains can process information and emotions clearly and more effectively.

Cleaning Releases Endorphins or Happy Hormones

We sometimes dread cleaning but approach cleaning from a different angle instead of complaining about cleaning and doing laundry. You can make it a meditative task or a form of exercise. Taking this approach releases endorphins, triggering a positive feeling in your body.

Incorporating Laundry Habits Give you a Sense of Accomplishment and Stability

A weekly laundry routine provides stability, and accomplishing this routine helps us feel more in control of our lives. When you struggle with some uncertainties, a way to assert control and stability is to clean and declutter. Even going your way out to the laundry service gives you a sense of accomplishment and control of your life.

How to Incorporate Cleaning Habits

Some struggle with the concept of cleaning and decluttering. It is an overwhelming task for them. If you are, here is how you can start incorporating your cleaning habits into your daily life.

  • Start on Small Tasks. What makes us feel overwhelmed is when we do all things at once or we start with something big. It is better to choose one household chore a day and follow through the next.
  • Time Yourself. Set a timer for each household task. A few minutes for small tasks and an hour for bigger chores help you prevent feeling overwhelmed. Setting the time or using the time block method helps you accomplish a lot more without feeling overwhelmed that you have to clean for hours.
  • Ask Help. Sometimes we cannot handle all the chores, especially when we are too busy at work, running a business, or recovering from an illness. If you know you cannot handle or finish the task, ask for help. If you do not have someone around, you can hire a cleaning or laundry delivery service to assist you.

Final Thoughts

When we take care of our living spaces and personal hygiene, we take care of ourselves. This can improve our self-image and boost our confidence, which can positively impact our mental health. Good laundry habits and having a clean and organized living space can significantly impact our mental health and overall well-being.
