Cleaning the house isn’t something most of us love doing, but the motivation to get things spotless drives many people on. But, what if you don’t have any motivation? What if you really can’t find a way to clear up and sort things out once and for all?
It’s more common than you might think, so you definitely aren’t alone. So, if this describes you to a tee, then read on. We hope these tips will help you get motivated; soon you’ll start cleaning your home like a pro.
Beat the record. How fast can you clean your house? It’s a game many parents play with their children, but it’s just as effective with adults. If you have a goal to beat, it’s much more likely that you will start cleaning in the first place, and you’ll get through your chores in no time.
Invest in great cleaning products. Try finding some powerful cleaning products to reduce your time spent with rubber gloves on. You can get some fun pieces of equipment to use, too. Take these Sweepscrub floor scrubbers as an example. Not only will they polish your wood or lino flooring, but you’ll have a great time using them as well. It’s that instant finish that gives you a sense of achievement as you go around each room that does it.
Play music. Try playing music while you are doing your chores. Many of us just don’t have the time to listen to to tunes anymore, so it’s the perfect opportunity. Cleaning is about as mindless as it gets, so see it as a chance to catch up with your latest band. Don’t like music? Then listen to an audiobook through somebody like Audible. You can select from a huge range of fiction and nonfiction so you could even learn something while you’re scrubbing, too!
Do something easy first. Sometimes, when the house is a wreck, it can be hard to get started. If this is the case, then begin with the easiest task going. This will get you off the starting blocks, and once you have that momentum, you’ll be on a roll.
Give your old friends a call. Another way to use your cleaning time for a bit of fun is to catch up with old friends. All you need is a Bluetooth receiver or a headset, and you can have hands free action to chat while your arms and hands do all the work. It’s simple but effective, and an ideal chance to catch up on those you haven’t spoken to for a while.
Reward yourself. Our last idea is a simple one, but you should use it as often as you can. Think of something that you really want to do right now, and then clean instead. That way, when you do what you wanted, it will feel even more like you deserve it. That sense of achievement is something that gets us through a lot in life, and it’s no different for cleaning your house.
