going to / will

Dear teachers,
I have read an article in which they give us some advises how get rid of stuff that we never use. Can I give a conclusion using 'going to' instead of 'will'. What is the difference if we use 'will' instead?

Here is my conclusion:

If we stick to this simple rules/recommendations we are going to spend less time cleaning our houses. We are also going to have less mess and more space in our homes.

Thanks!

After an "if" clause that states a condition in the present tense, it's much more common to use "will" in the clause that states the result of that condition.

I agree that it's much more common. This does not mean that BE going to is wrong.

No, it doesn't. My reply is simply a way for learners to play the "statistics and probability" card if they have to guess.
