How a Clean Space Helps Your Mental Health More Than You Think

There’s real science behind it — clean environments lower stress, improve focus, and boost mental health.

🧠 The Psychology of Clean:

• Visual clutter leads to mental clutter (Princeton Neuroscience Institute)

• Dirty environments spike cortisol (stress hormone)

• Tidy spaces improve sleep, calm, and decision-making

💬 Case Study 1: Inner West Studio Reset

An allied health clinic in Newtown reported rising staff tension. After a one-week Ultrix deep clean routine:

• Staff disputes dropped

• Clients reported “calmer vibe” in post-treatment surveys

• Productivity (measured by client turnover) increased 17%

“It wasn’t the layout — it was the grime. Once that cleared, so did the mood,” said the owner.

💬 Case Study 2: Bondi Fitness Energy Boost

A yoga studio in Bondi had great lighting and instructors but couldn’t build retention. We deep-cleaned mats, vents, and mirrors, and introduced eucalyptus scenting.

• Member satisfaction jumped 28%

• Drop-offs reduced

• More members lingered post-class

“People actually said it felt more premium — just from cleaning,” the owner told us.

🧘‍♀️ Other Proven Benefits:

• Less sick days = less mental fatigue

• Clarity from decluttered desks = better creative performance

• Calm, scent-neutral spaces = fewer anxiety triggers for neurodivergent staff
