The Science Behind Why Cleaning Is Basically Therapy

It’s not just about looks — cleaning affects your brain. Seriously. Studies show a clean space = a calmer mind.

Here’s why:

🧠 1. Clean Spaces Reduce Cortisol

A 2019 UCLA study found cluttered homes produced higher stress hormones, especially in women. Cleaning helps drop cortisol levels.

🧹 2. Cleaning = Control

When life feels chaotic, cleaning gives you an immediate, visible win. Mental health pros call it a “grounding technique.”

💡 3. It Boosts Focus

A Princeton Neuroscience Lab study found that visual clutter impairs focus. Clear space = clear thoughts.

🧼 4. Cleaning Helps People With Anxiety + ADHD

Psychologists recommend short, repetitive cleaning tasks as emotional regulators — from desk wipes to vacuuming.

A startup founder in Redfern told us, “When the office is cleaned, my brain works better. My team works better. It’s a multiplier.”
