Many see cleaning as a chore and something to tick off the to-do list, but for some it’s actually so much more than that. Cleaning is all about your mindset, your intentions, and the way in which you clean - and the Japanese cleaning principle of Kiyomeru can help transform the minds of those who hate this chore.

Although it may not seem like it, cleaning can actually make you feel happier and have a profound impact on your mental health. After all, there are so many mindful ways to clean your home - one of which is the ability to find meaning in cleaning. And it’s this meaning that many people overlook amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
