Russians were told about the benefits of cleaning

Cleaning at home can become an ally for good health and a good psychological state. Maria Nagibova, an expert and founder of the SweepMe service, told about this on September 10.

"Disorder in space often leads to disorder in thoughts. Research confirms that visual chaos reduces the ability to concentrate and increases stress levels. Cleaning is not about sterility, but about creating a predictable and controlled environment, which is critical for mental health in modern conditions," Nagibova said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».

It clarifies that a light daily cleaning lasting 30-40 minutes is equivalent to moderate-intensity cardio.

Nagibova added that the elimination of hidden threats is also an important aspect: mold, dust mites and allergens in textiles represent not only an aesthetic disadvantage, but also serious risk factors for the development of asthma, allergies and respiratory diseases.

"Regular professional deep cleaning of these areas reduces the concentration of harmful particles by 80-90%. Such cleaning is not a household task, but a full—fledged health prevention, especially for families with children and the elderly," Nagibova said.

At the same time, the expert recalled, cleaning can become a source of danger when using aggressive chemicals. Products with chlorine, ammonia, and phosphates can cause allergic reactions, eczema, and breathing problems.

Finally, excessive cleanliness, bordering on sterility, is also harmful because the immune system needs moderate contact with microbes to function effectively.

"There is a golden mean between chaos and operational cleanliness — that's what we need to strive for," Nagibova concluded.

On September 9, Alexey Baichurin, the founder of the Allchemika brand of household chemicals, told how to make household cleaning safer. According to the expert, regular ventilation of rooms, the use of protective masks and gloves in contact with cleaning products help reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
