As silly as it may sound, many of us beat ourselves up over not being able to keep our homes as clean as our friends and neighbours, even when we have a perfectly valid reason for not doing so.

Cleaning can be a real bore, and while there are some of us who enjoy it and find satisfaction in getting knee deep in dirt and grime, most of us hate it and look for ways to make it easier, or eliminate the need for it altogether!

The home should be the one place that provides us with safety and relief from allergies, yet it is often the place that causes or exacerbates allergies such as asthma and hay fever.

Cleaning our homes can be a task that many of us certainly don’t relish, but when there is clutter everywhere, the task is made even harder, and takes even longer to complete. Common sense should tell us that the less items there are to clean or clean around, then the quicker and easier cleaning our homes would be. However, since clutter can mean different things to different people, it’s not always simple to know how to de-clutter the home. Should you be utterly ruthless and get rid of anything that collects dust, or should you carefully evaluate your home to try and establish what qualifies as being clutter, and what doesn’t?
If cleaning our homes is something that we must do – and it really is, no matter how much we hate it – we might as well let it do us some good at the same time.

Nowadays, many of us take on much more in our lives than ever before. With social and family pressures, it can often be hard to separate our working world, from our home life. This causes many individuals to try and juggle different aspects of their lives, while trying desperately hard to find some time to themselves, too.
