How to Make Housework More Enjoyable

Posted on by Lee Francisco

Do you despise cleaning your home? You’re not alone. Along with being pressed for time, a monumental rise in demand for professional housecleaning services indicates that more Americans than ever dislike cleaning their homes. In fact, the US Department of Commerce expects more than 80% of two-income households to use an outside cleaning service in the coming years.

While outsourcing housecleaning needs is inevitably more convenient, it’s important to understand that when you bring on an outside cleaning service, you’re relinquishing a bit of your control of how things will be cleaned. You’ll also be welcoming people you don’t know into your home, regardless of how acclaimed or accredited they might be. However, by making a few small changes to your cleaning regimen, you can make housework more enjoyable. Check out these quick and easy housecleaning tips.

Pick Your Tunes

Do you find your mood instantly soured at the thought of cleaning? Turn that frown upside down by making a cleaning playlist that features some of your favorite tunes. Pick songs with an upbeat tempo that you can dance and sing to. You’ll be amazed at just how effective some good music can be when it comes to cleaning your house.

Reward Yourself

One of the most effective ways to get yourself motivated and in-gear for cleaning is to make a deal with yourself that involves a reward for your efforts. Start by making a to-do list that includes a personal treat at the end. Not only will this inspire you to do a thorough job while cleaning, but it will also help keep you on-track. Consider these ideas for cleaning reward:

  • A sweet treat or yummy snack
  • A new book
  • A bubble bath
  • An episode of your favorite show
  • Your favorite cocktail

Find Your Go-To Products

Having products you can count on makes a tremendous difference when it comes to cleaning. Along with having go-to cleaning supplies you can rely on, you should also ensure you have quality appliances that aid in easy cleaning. Make sure your dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer are in good condition. Also, perhaps most importantly, having a good vacuum in a must.
