THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN DESIGN FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
A lot has been said and heard about interior design, but few of that emphasize the importance of well-being. A noteworthy movement is on the rise, and it focuses on improving health and the importance of living and working in a wellness environment.
The goal of the healthy trend, is to teach consumers how to manage or limit toxins that enter the living space and to clean the home in a way that promotes a healthy environment every day.
Can you remember when you last washed or replaced your bed pillows? Most households clean their pillows every six years. Given the buildup of dust mites and pollen that settle on our pillows, the hair and facial oils and drool that soak in—not to mention, the dirt that collects from pets who sleep on the bed—that’s like sleeping on dirty pajamas that haven’t been cleaned in six years. Yuck!
With a lot of people suffering from asthma or allergies, or both (compared to people with diabetes), and it’s clear we’re dealing with a health issue of epidemic proportions.
The good news is that managing asthma and allergy triggers in your home, among other toxins, is an easy intervention with Clean Design, through helpful, simple-solution tips and tricks, suited for all budgets. When you consider that one-third of our lives are spent sleeping on dirty pillows, it’s apparent Clean Design is a methodology that serves everyone.
