Eva Mendes Explains the Relatable Reason Her Home is Always Tidy – It's a Refreshing Reminder for Spring Cleaning Season
No one likes clutter, but the actress really hates it – she recently revealed the psychology behind her cleaning obsession, and it's surprisingly inspiring
By mid-march, a familiar itch begins, and by the end of the month, the urge to declutter, purge, and scrub every surface is impossible to resist. Spring cleaning season is upon us. For those who need a little extra motivation, Eva Mendes is here to provide it.
The actress and founder of cleaning brand, Skura Style took to Instagram to share her philosophy on a tidy home, and it's oh-so relatable. From the countertop of her pink kitchen, she tells audiences: 'When there's clutter, in the kitchen specifically, but everywhere else as well, I feel like my brain just works harder to try to make sense, and therefore it's more on alert. It's not just about, like, I like things clean, no. I like how I feel when things are clean.'
