There is no set type of person that may struggle with cleaning, and no set reason for someone to struggle but there are some signs to spot that may help you understand that someone needs help.
- Someone is struggling to remain active for long periods of time
- Someone may not be able to buy cleaning products
- Someone may lack motivation to do anything -including cleaning
- Someone’s house is often dirty, dishes are unwashed for prolonged periods of time
- Someone has talked to you about anxiety or stress over cleaning.
As well as this, there are some groups that may more naturally need support such as the elderly, those with disabilities, those struggling with mental health, those overwhelmed with work or childcare, as well as others we may have not listed. Support levels can vary- not everyone needs a full cleaning service as support, some people may just need help acquiring cleaning products or support with areas too high to reach. The important part is for you to notice someone needs help, and to ask what can be done!
