The Dreaded Clean

As spring time lazily looms in on us and the weather turns warmer, a lot of people start the annual plan of a big spring clean. While going through all the clothes from last season’s summer and what winter clothes you didn’t wear this season may seem like a dreadful task, there are actually many benefits to providing both your house with a spring clean.

Surprisingly, it actually provides you with numerous personal benefits, such as increasing your productivity, reducing stress, making you happier, and allowing you to focus better. Household clutter has been shown to be detrimental in draining both your energy and time, so it makes sense that a clean and easily manageable house can boost your own satisfaction and happiness. The other health benefit it allows you to do is remove allergens from your household. For people with asthma triggers, a build-up of stagnant dust can cause blocked airways and trigger their asthma very easily, so cleaning these hard to do places every 6-12 months can be detrimental to one’s health and also sleep.

After the big clean up you may be left with bags of clothes or items that you don’t wish to call your own anymore. Fortunately there are numerous places in and around Brisbane that will accept you preloved goods. Yesterday’s Thrift Shop and Vinnies in Paddington/Rosalie are incredibly popular and will accept majority of donations. Looking to donate bigger items? Salvos has a free collection request which saves you the hassle of carting larger items yourself.
