27% of working adults worked from home in 2019. Then increasing to 37% in 2020 and I’m sure 2021 following the same upward trend. Now many of us are either combining working from home with working in the office or even permanently working from home. So it is important that we work in a tidy home environment. This blog is going to explain how home cleaning can benefit your productivity when you are working from home.

Mess Equals Stress

If you have worked from home in the last few years, then you will know of the obstacles that you may come across when working from home. Things such as Wi-Fi problems, distractions, messy offices and other issues. But when it comes to motivation, cleaning your home has been proven to improve productivity. This is because it helps clear those distractions, relieve you of stress and removes germs and dust. It is so crucial to declutter your workstation to enable you to work to the best of your ability. Also, an added bonus of a tidy work area is when you have one of those inevitable zoom calls, you will look more professional. Well, as professional as you possibly can when sitting at home in your spare room!

Turn Your Spare Room Into An Office?

Choose a few hours on one evening to decide to transform your spare room into your new work area. Start by playing your favourite playlist, grab a bin bag and cleaning products and let’s get to work. First, grab any rubbish or clutter to throw away and chuck them into the bin bag. After this, for any items, you wish to keep, find an empty draw or a space in the house. Placing them together so that they won’t go missing. Finally, spend a few hours from then vacuuming the carpet or mopping the floor. Then dust any corners/surfaces that may of built-up dust and wipe down the surfaces to make them sparkling clean. This may all take a few hours and might be a stressful job, but once it is finished it will transform your room.
