People in the Northern Beaches make fun of the saying, “If your couch doesn’t have a bit of sand in it, are you even a local?” But if you’ve ever had Northern Beaches upholstery sanitizing service, you know that getting rid of the stench does more than just make your living room seem nicer. It changes how you feel every time you step inside.
Cues are good for our brains. We can’t help but smell “messy” when we smell old pet hair or fabric that smells like saltwater. Researchers at the International Journal of Environmental Health found that smells influence people’s moods faster than anything else, even sight or sound. When you smell the musty lounge, your shoulders tense up and you start making insane mental notes about “someday” cleaning.
Change the upholstery on the script. All of a sudden, your home feels lighter, more open, and more welcoming. Instead of just saying hi, friends come over, lie down, and stay for tea. When you see a clean couch, your brain tells you that this is a safe place to relax. Many studies have shown that a clean home makes families happier, more productive, and even less stressed.
Even if you merely deep-cleaned the furniture, brighter, cleaner materials might make your home look bigger. People notice when color pops out and light reflects better. “Wow, how do you do it?” Science is truly doing the heavy work.
So, the next time you find yourself scrunching up your nose or staying away from your beloved chair, remember that getting fresh upholstery can truly assist your mental health. Your home should be a place where you can rest and have fun. Living in the Northern Beaches means fresh air, sunshine, and clear minds. A strange couch shouldn’t get in the way.
