I have worked as a therapist for the last 25 years. Counseling in various venues for addictions and mental health. When I met my husband I began working with him in his business. Of course, I had a few ideas of my own, such as Natural Cleaning Products and making our store a warm, comfortable atmosphere for people to shop for vacuum cleaners and cleaning supplies. I've always thought that cleaning should be seen as a pleasant experience, so shopping for supplies should be too.
I've always known there has been a connection between my peace of mind and the cleanliness of my home. I know there is a psychological reward to having a clutter-free home, which can help have a clutter-free mind.
I have also done a good bit of training over the years and one of my favorite topics is Stress Management. So, I am happy to share with you this article I found about Stress & Cleaning. Hope you enjoy it, too.
Blogging about cleaning, environment and the psychology of keeping body, mind, spirit natural & healthy.

Stress Management
My stress management presentation using Lavender Essential Oils went very well. It got me to thinking about all the ways we can incorporate Aromatherapy in our daily lives. www.vacshack.com would love to be your source for aromatherapeutic housekeeping. Check out our line of Caldrea. Caldrea creates quality, earth-friendly products in their exclusive signature fragrances for cleaning your entire home. They use the finest plant-derived ingredients and essential oils to provide natural freshness and cleaning potency. No harsh chemicals, no harsh fragrances; a simple, stylish and fresh approach to cleaning in a fragrance collection of your own choosing.
Love to spray scents in your home? Artificial fragrances can have a detrimental effect on your family's health, especially those with asthma or allergies. Check out our Seaside Naturals. They use only the purest essential oils and plant extracts to make their aromatherapy air refreshers. Most commercial air fresheners mask odors. Their aromatherapy air fresheners are all natural and the essential oils actually neutralize rather than mask odors; providing the relaxing uplift of aromatherapy.

Stress and Relaxation
As I am up early this morning, preparing to do a presentation on stress management, thoughts of essential oils, relaxation and healthy cleaning are running through my head. I started using essential oils to make my own cleaning products many years ago when I discovered sensitivities to chemicals and an allergic reaction to latex (couldn't figure out how the cleaning chemicals were getting through the latex gloves and causing a rash until, duh, I realized I am allergic to latex.)
Now that my husband and I have our retail, 12409 N Rockwell Ave, Oklahoma City, 73142 and online store www.vacshack.com, it is part of our mission to seek out green and natural cleaning solutions to have available to our customers.
We also thought some people might still want to make their own cleaning products, so we have added essential oils to our lineup. Then we found a cool spray bottle from Casabella that includes microfibers and cleaning recipes.
I read that there is a relationship between increased stress and clutter. The thought is that if you have clutter around you, it can increase stress and anxiety. It is our belief that a clean home is a healthy home. This starts with the premise that keeping germs and allergens at bay can improve your overall health. If keeping your space clean can decrease stress, then why not take it a step further and incorporate aromatherapy into your cleaning regime? Caldrea makes that easy. By using cleaning solutions, candles and natural air fresheners you can influence your mood by picking your fragrance.
I am in the process of making some orange spice simmering potpourri that you will be able to buy in bulk or individual packets that will be available on our website www.vacshack.com and in our store at 4221 N. MacArthur, Oklahoma City. You can use these in a simmering pot (with water) or in a pot on your stove. Do not leave this unattended and be sure to keep plenty of water. Wishing you Happy Cleaning, Good Scents and Stress Free Moods.
