Environment is generally regarded as the circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded. It could also be seen as the complexity of physical, chemical, and biotic factors (such as climate, soil, and living things) that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately determine its form and survival. This implies that one’s environment is crucial to one’s survival, as the environment directly affects one.
Your environment, both at home and at work, plays a critically fundamental role in your physical and mental health, as well as your overall well-being, much more than you might have ever given it credit for. A dirty or uninviting environment doesn’t just cause infections or repulsion, it also pulls apart your emotional control and mental stability. On the other hand, a clean environment facilitates a sound health and helps build about a robust well-being. Therefore, the benefits of having a dirt-free and a hygienic work place cannot be undermined. Let’s look at top 5 benefits of maintaining a clean atmosphere.
Prevent Infectious Diseases
Diseases caused by dirty environments such as diarrhea and typhus are dangerous illnesses. These diseases, if not treated properly, will lead to death. Therefore, people have to be always maintaining the cleanliness of their surroundings by not littering waste, especially infectious waste. A clean environment will make us live safely and comfortably.
Increased self-confidence
Satisfaction with your environment automatically boosts your self-confidence. The truth is it’s not likely you readily know the source of this extraordinary self-assurance except you take time to reflect. But you’ll certainly feel it in you. You’re sure you’ve got it. You know you’re super confident. This can be brought about by being in a room with bright light, both natural and artificial. Besides, this kind of environment can help improve depression and anxiety. This means you’ll always be in the right frame of mind; no depression, no anxiety. 
Higher productivity
When your environment is clean, neat and nice, it turns you into a perpetually happy person. All negative emotions are banished and your creativity gets a rebirth. This translates into solid well-being and invariably tells on your productivity.  Happy people are super productive people.
Sense of propriety
A clean environment makes it difficult for people to just leave things lying about or drop litters. This is not about you alone. It is rather positively contagious. Everyone around you is influenced. In other words, a clean environment positively impacts your behaviour and gives you reasons and impetus to act on keeping it always clean. And you end up managing you space better than you can imagine. You must have noticed it too that people are reluctant to litter or clutter a place that is clean and neat, whereas they eagerly help a dirty environment degenerate. 
Projects a Good Image
A regularly sanitized workplace indicates a level of professionalism. It also shows that you care for your employees and their well-being. Happy employees will give their best and promote the brand name of your product or business establishment.
Reduces the Risk of Accidents
A well-kept floor, free from spillages and smudgy substances, will reduce mishaps. A clean environment is also a safe place to work and improves the efficiency of employees.
Improve Your Mental Health
Living in a clean environment will increase your mood during your working time in your office at your house. You won’t see messy garbage on your bin that makes you uncomfortable. No wonder many big companies hire professional cleaning companies to maintain the cleanliness of the office. In other words, a healthy environment is always determined by a clean atmosphere that naturally can increase the human’s immune system.
Finally, your well-being is a delicate flower of many colours; it deserves your attention. When you consider the many benefits of clean environment, it is obvious that cleanliness can never be overemphasized. It is often said that, “cleanliness is next to godliness”. Keep your environment always clean and tidy, and enjoy life in abundance.
