Regular household cleaning helps remove dust, dirt and germs. What does this practice mainly help maintain in a home?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Hygiene

Regular household cleaning removes dust, dirt, and germs from surfaces, floors, and living spaces, directly reducing the presence of disease-causing microorganisms and allergens.

This removal of dust, dirt, and germs is the core of maintaining hygiene, which protects household members from infections and promotes overall health and well-being.

Humidity control, ventilation, and temperature control relate to air quality and climate within the home, and are not the direct outcome of removing dust, dirt, and germs through cleaning.

Therefore, the correct answer is Hygiene.
