Cleaning might not be your favorite thing to do in the world, but we all feel some sort of satisfaction after we do clean, right? Even if cleaning isn’t your favorite thing to do, there may be other benefits involved with it that aren’t exactly obvious.

One example of this would be how cleaning can burn calories. Another example is how cleaning can actually help boost your relationship and make it more positive then ever before. Now, are we suggesting that cleaning is the way to a happy heart? No (although, it can be). Instead, we are suggesting that there have been studies that have tied cleaning with positivity and relationship building.

Here are 5 ways that cleaning can help boost your relationship!

1. Creating A More Positive Atmosphere

Cleaning is linked to positivity. Therefore, if you make time to clean with your partner, there will be a more positive response in your relationship. If you don’t believe this to be true, try it out for yourself. Take some time and really just deep clean a room or car together, and then enjoy that room or car together afterwords. You will be feel cleaner, more positive, and happier about the room you cleaned, and about your relationship.

2. Feeling Productive

One great thing about cleaning is how productive it makes you feel. Cleaning is one of those things that people do when they don’t have anything else that’s too pressing going on. But what if you made cleaning a priority? Instead of using it as a last resort for filler time, make it a priority every week so that work doesn’t stack up and pile up for months on end. In turn, seeing your home cleaner than ever will leave you and your partner both feeling more productive, which results in a healthier relationship.

3. It Can Be A Date

Before you start laughing, just hear this out. Who says that you have to spend hundreds of dollars on a date? Who says that you need to go have dinner and then watch a movie for it to be officially called a date? If you talk to your significant other and both agree on setting a specific time where you can both clean, it is no different than a regular date! You can both make it fun, and it will be worth it. This leads us to the next point.

4. Hitting Two Birds With One Stone

Everyone loves this phrase, but how often do we actually get to hit two birds with one stone? Not very often. One way that you can hit two birds with one stone is by setting time to clean every week with your significant other. By doing this, you are accomplishing the task of cleaning, and you are accomplishing spending time with your partner. Can you ask for any more than that?

5. No More Negative Comments About Cleaning

For example, “You forgot to take out the trash”, or, “It doesn’t matter because I’m the only one who’s cleaning anyway.” Does any of this sound familiar? If so, cleaning together as a team can help. Imagine never hearing any negative comments about not cleaning again! If you are your partner both take the time to clean as a team, you won’t ever have to remind them (or they won’t ever have to renin d you) about how much either of you aren’t helping.
