The rush to clean the apartment from the trash that had accumulated over the cold months, familiar Russian women: spring we - the traditional time of general cleanings, almost a tradition, a ritual. And each "harvest" season, again traditionally possible to count the victims of love for the first ...

Irina Markova did her best to her reputation as an exemplary wife and mistress are not laid down a single spot - in an apartment Ira always perfect order reigned. On a day when the guests were to descend, she decided to hang new curtains on the windows. Then I noticed that after a rain on glasses were ugly divorce.

At the sight of this "outrage" Irina became ill. What do think about it? Blushing with anger, she rushed to wash the windows. Her husband, who returned from a hike of alcohol, found Ira with a rag in his hand, which she was trying to reach out to the far outer corner of the window. At the same time it seemed that the woman had completely forgotten about what is on the eighth floor window sill: it is almost completely popped out.

The husband tried to pull her away from the window, saying that for this purpose there are special devices. He saw in the store a special brush with a long handle. But Ira stained glass in the form of more and more annoying. Well, can not she nedomytyh windows - and all!

Apartment cleaning: Attention, danger!

Traumatology voice say that the increase in injuries during the traditional spring cleanings apartments   - This is our bane. So be mindful of safety measures, an elementary prudence and caution. In order to protect persons and eye parsing mezzanines and balconies, it is possible - as though it may sound funny - wear sunglasses or a mask of diving. And in any case, do not lean out of the windows open. Really, there is no order in the apartment is not worth your injury.

Passion for clean, what experts think

Renowned US psychologist Ruth Benedict said that clean house   We must always maintain, because only in this case, people can not only organize your mind, but also his life. Ruth advised their patients as frequently as possible to restore order in the house - such cleaning could be a good therapy for nerve health. But at the same time, many psychologists, and Ruth in particular, admit some people just need a mess.

"They find it difficult to spread out on the shelves, all that is going on in their head, they seemed to lurch from one idea to another, but that is what gives them the inspiration for something new", - experts say.

  Conducted by US personnel Ajilon Office survey found that people who are recognized for such quality as a passion for cleanliness - earn less than those who recognized that they exist in the pleasant atmosphere of confusion. Experts explain this fact as follows: "When, in our field of vision are very different things, the brain unconsciously starts looking for the logical connections between them and thus develop their creative thinking."

BTW
Confusion, oddly enough, can make people happier. When people do not live in an environment museum ordering, and more at ease, this means that they are free to interact with things and not become their slaves - which helps the consciousness to perceive their environment more harmonious.

Many experts agree that the obsessive desire to direct clean house   often there is not so much the need for purity, as for purely psychological reasons. Neat need to feel the master of his life, and compensates for the cleaning of the internal need - bringing order to the apartment becomes a way to feel that he is subject to at least something.

Another reason may be pathological cleanliness neurosis and stress. Rush to restore order in stressful situations is sometimes a way to escape the mechanical action and calm. But if there is any violation of the order causes panic attacks or anxiety, you need to see a specialist - it can be a symptom of a serious breakdown.

To passion for cleanliness does not interfere with enjoying life, psychologists are advised to identify their individual optimal level of chaos and maintain it. But if you can not for half an hour to find the right thing under the rubble of other items, your mess - is not art.
