What makes up a Dirty Home?

This is one of the hardest questions to answer. As an addict shopper of anything I always keep all the boxes and stored them somewhere. I don’t like throwing things away especially if it has a sentimental value or a gift from someone special to me. I love keeping receipts and bills. You can check one of drawers and you can see an electric bill dated 4 years ago.

I just realized that those are some reasons why may house is being dirty. I need to learn how to declutter things and let go some of it. Also, the way your house look will predict what kind of personality you have. By reading this article you will realize that, what you are doing is one of the reasons why you have a dirty home and you feel guilty about it.

Here are more of the reasons why you have a dirty home:

 Too many toys

Having kids at home is one of the reasons why you will always have a dirty home. Toys are everywhere, leftover biscuits, water or milk spills on the floor, used nappy and used clothes.


Dirt from the outside

Entering the house using the same shoes or slippers will transmit the dirt from the outside.  And will cause the mess in your flooring.


Too many appliances

Having too many appliances is keeping dust and dirt in your home. Because having too many appliances is like giving rats, cockroach or insects a home. They tend to stay in those appliances that are not being use all the time.


Leftover food

Leaving leftover food in the table will invite more insects and pest in your house. It can be a cause of sickness like diarrhea, dehydration and food poison.


Having pets

Owning a pet will add some dirt in your house because of the dander and some hair loss when you are brushing it.


Unwashed Laundry

Unwashed laundry will contribute a mess in your home. The smell of it and the looks how tall it is already from your basket.


Cooking areas 

After cooking a fried fish, chicken or pork is a mess. The splash of cooking oil in your counter tops, flooring, and stove.


Disorganized Piles

Letting a disorganized pile is allowing dust and dirt to collect on items that are lying around your house.


 Old Clothes

 Too many clothes will eat too much space in your cabinets. Sometimes you are not using those clothes anymore. You just want it to be there because it was gift from someone, or it is too much expensive, or you are still hoping that it will fit in you.


Bathroom or Shower Scum

It is not really inviting to have a dirty bathroom.  The bad smell, yellowish floor, and the disorganized toiletries.


Mental Health Disorder

 Without us knowing having a messy home reflects what kind of personality you have or worst is you might have a mental health disorder.  Maybe you might think that it is crazy, because there is no connection between having a clean home and to your behavior.  Some study shows that it can be criteria for depression diagnosis. You feel hopeless, lack of concentration and fatigue. If you are used to having a clean house, a dirty house can be a sign that you are not in yourself.

When you start feeling hopeless, that is also time that you will not understand how important it is to have a clean house. Because in your perspective, why do you need to organize if everything seems to be going wrong anyway.  You will also start to feel that you don’t have a control to anything and that you don’t deserve a clean space. Because you believe that your life is a mess, so why do you need to clean your home?


It’s the normal you

Sometimes you are just the type of person that, that is not interested in cleaning up things.  Just because you don’t care how your house will look like. You will just say “Okay, I’ll start cleaning” but you are too lazy to move and choose to lie down and watch Netflix. It only means it is more of your personality and preferences.


Feeling Overwhelmed

If you easily get to be frustrated and mad because of clutter and disorganized things, it is a sign that there is something that wrong with you. A mess is really frustrating but figuring out when and where to start in tackling the problem is more overwhelming. You will start eliminating things that you don’t need and start to learn new tactics or if you are really having a hard time, call help from a professional cleaner.


Signs of Depressions

If you are the type of person who always wants everything is in place and clean, then suddenly you don’t care anymore in having a dirty place it’s a sign that there is something wrong with you.  

Having depression will give you a hard time of being focused and to have energy to fix things in your house. If you can still notice that the house messy and needs to be clean, you just need to focus and get that energy back to do this task.


The feeling of being organized

Being organized in all things will give you a satisfaction of achieving in something. It will save you a lot of time when you are looking for specific things that you need.  Purchase a box organizer were you can put a label on what’s inside the box. In that way, it will be easier for you to identify and look for things that you need to use.
