There are five core benefits to spring cleaning, encompassing various aspects of life, health, and psychology:
1. Improve living environment and reduce health risks
Removing dirt and dust: Eliminate accumulated dust, hair, and food residue to reduce the risk of allergies (such as dust mites) and respiratory problems.
Disinfection and sterilization: Disinfect high-frequency contact areas (such as doorknobs and toilets) during cleaning to reduce the growth of germs, especially suitable for families with the elderly and children.
Pest control: Clean up debris and stagnant water in corners to destroy the living environment of pests (such as cockroaches and sowbugs).

2. Improve life efficiency and say goodbye to "the anxiety of finding things"
Decluttering: Discard expired food and damaged items to free up space, making frequently used items easier to store and access (such as no longer having to search through boxes and cabinets for socks).
Plan a storage system: After spring cleaning, you can reorganize drawers and cabinets, categorize items by "frequently used/infrequently used," saving time in daily searches.

3. Physical activity, exercise by the way
Calorie consumption: Actions such as wiping windows, moving furniture, and mopping floors are equivalent to moderate-intensity exercise. One hour of spring cleaning consumes approximately 200-300 calories (equivalent to half an hour of brisk walking).
Stretching: Bending, stretching, and tiptoeing can help loosen stiff shoulders, necks, and waists from prolonged sitting, relieving physical fatigue.

4. Psychological decompression and improved happiness
Visual healing: A clean and bright space stimulates the brain to secrete "dopamine," making people feel relaxed and eliminating the depression caused by clutter.
Increased sense of control: Personally organizing the environment can enhance one's sense of control over life, especially after completing spring cleaning, there is a great sense of accomplishment (similar to the feeling of "clearing phone memory").

5. Discover hidden items and avoid waste
Unearth "dormant treasures": Find forgotten cosmetics, clothes, tools, etc., reducing duplicate purchases (such as "I still have half a bottle of unused hand cream").
Check the condition of items: Timely discovery of expired medicines and damaged appliances to avoid safety hazards and health risks.
