The Hidden Power of Houseplants
by Janine, Aug 2025At Well Polished, we know a sparkling clean home isn’t just about appearances—it’s about creating an environment where you feel your very best. And while our expert cleaners take care of the dusting, vacuuming, and polishing, there’s another secret ingredient you can add to your home for even more health and happiness: plants.
Houseplants aren’t just stylish décor—they can have a real impact on your mental wellbeing and even contribute to a healthier, cleaner living space.
Plants and Mental Health: Nature’s Mood Boosters
- Stress Relief: Studies show that being around greenery helps lower stress and anxiety. Simply having a plant on your desk or windowsill can give you a sense of calm.
- Better Focus: Plants improve concentration and productivity—perfect if you’re working from home.
- Mood Lifting: Caring for plants (watering, pruning, watching them grow) can bring a sense of purpose and joy.
Think of plants as little reminders of nature indoors—helping you to pause, breathe, and reset.
Plants and Hygiene: A Cleaner, Fresher Home
- Air Purification: Some plants, like peace lilies and spider plants, are known for filtering out common household toxins.
- Humidity Balance: Plants release moisture into the air, which can reduce dust and prevent dry air from irritating skin and eyes.
- Natural Freshness: Beyond air quality, many plants give off subtle scents that make your home feel fresher—without needing artificial air fresheners.
Together with a professional clean, plants create an environment that feels not just tidy—but truly healthy.
Easy Plants to Try in Your Home
- Snake Plant: Almost impossible to kill and great for bedrooms.
- Spider Plant: Helps clean the air and thrives in most spaces.
- Peace Lily: Adds a touch of elegance while filtering pollutants.
- Aloe Vera: Low-maintenance and comes with natural healing benefits.
