Students often have a reputation for messy living, and unhealthy habits. But this is a grossly exaggerated stereotype, that most students don’t quite measure up to. However, there is something to be said about taking the time to clean your flat or house more often. Especially in student accommodation, where multiple people are sharing the same space. Here at Let Pads, we are Preston’s leading student accommodation providers. And we know how messy student pads can be. So, what are the advantages of keeping your space clean, and why should you clean your student accommodation more often?
Why should you clean your student accommodation more often?
Life as a student is hectic. And it often feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day, to achieve what you need. But setting aside some time for cleaning, could help:
- Increase your productivity- if you’re trying to work in a messy environment, you may find that you become easily distracted. Cleaning your space can help to keep your mind focused, so that you can study harder and be more productive.
- Stay healthy- in a house that is not frequently cleaned, you could risk picking up dangerous bacteria like E.Coli or Salmonella from unclean kitchen and bathroom surfaces. As these are shared in student accommodation, illnesses can also easily spread. But its not just the dangerous bacteria that are the problem, it’s also simple viruses like the common cold. Picking up frequent colds can have an adverse effect on your immune system. So to stay healthy, you should keep your home clean.
- Sleep better- another aspect of your health that can be adversely effected by dirt and mess is your sleep. From irritating sore throats caused by dust mites and other allergens, to night-time distractions, you will find that a messy bedroom, that is not kept clean, could be keeping you awake at night. More thorough and frequent cleaning can make a big difference.
