A tidy home means less time spent cleaning after a long day’s work. Neatness is a great quality to instill in your children.

But, what are the not-so-obvious benefits of keeping a tidy home? The benefits beyond the superficial?

Let’s explore five…

The 5 Unexpected Benefits of a Tidy Home



Keeping the home in shape is a part-time job. No, really! Many people spend almost 20 hours a week between cooking, cleaning, and routines to keep the household from falling apart.

Why do we keep up with it all when we may never have people over to visit? A lot of it is about control and just all-around good habits.

A tidy home is a safe environment. But, did you know about these benefits?

1: Pest Control

Even the cleanest homes have hundreds of critters under the floorboards and crawl spaces. There’s no stopping Mother Nature when it comes to stopping all pests from entering our homes.

A complete pest service is your best bet to stop disease and infestation from entering the home. Moxie, a Raleigh NC pest control service, recommends a monthly run-through to stop rodents and insects from becoming a true pain.

2: Good Habits

Do you know what a helicopter parent is?

These are the parents showing up to dorms and apartments after kids have left the nest either from moving out or going off to college.

These parents continue being essentially a “maid” for their kids. The kids never learned good routines with tidiness because it was never a priority.

Cleaning your home can become a family event. Dictate chores for each member, and it’ll sink in. This will create a great habit they’ll use later in life.

3: Clarity

Yeah, cleaning isn’t fun, but it needs to get done even when you’re not the cleaning type.

One of the best benefits? Less distraction.

What does clarity bring?

  • Fresh ideas for family activities
  • Focus on exploring business ideas
  • Less emotion with the routines

It’s like the saying, “A cluttered desk is a cluttered mind”. Things being out of their place and the time it takes keeping it organized is a monumental distraction from other, valuable times.

4: Fewer Dangers

You may clean out of routine and to keep things looking nice. But, what’s really going on is you creating a safe environment for yourself and loved ones.

This means fewer items in the way that could cause a trip and fall. Or, dangerous items falling and landing on a loved one. 

Other benefits?

  • Surfaces are sanitary
  • Less chance of mold
  • Lowered allergy agitation

Ultimately, you’re not living in filth. The cleanliness wards off physical and immune hazards.

5: Activity

Think of the activities included in keeping the home neat and tidy:

  • Reorganizing
  • Vacuuming
  • Scrubbing

…and a whole lot more!

You realize these activities burn calories, don’t you? The combined cleaning activities can burn off as much as visiting a gym! 

It doesn’t seem like much but keeping a tidy home is a perfect way to keep your waistline in check. All without having to dedicate extra time to exercise.

Cleaning Still Not Your Thing?

The benefits sound good but you’re still thinking, “Yeah… no.” That’s okay! Time is valuable and sometimes it’s easier simply playing the pros.

There are several, great ways to find home cleaning services, including: 

  • Angie’s List
  • Thumbtack
  • MaidPro
  • Handy.com
  • HomeAdvisor

Considering the near 20 hours of time you’ll spend cleaning, cooking, and the like, it makes sense to mitigate a bit of your income to just pay someone.

Either, or, the job gets done and you end up with a neat and tidy home.

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
