3 Tips to Help Get You Motivated to Clean

Listen to Music While You Clean

Listening to music can make even the worst task easier to handle. Put on your favorite playlist and get to cleaning. I find that upbeat music really helps to keep me motivated and keep my spirits up while I’m working.

I always feel better after listening and when I look around when I’m done and see my clean home it really makes me smile.

Get Help or Take Tasks in Manageable Portions

We homeschool and when I clean I always have the kids help. We each take a task in each room and work together. It makes the workload lighter for all of us, we get to spend time working together, and it more enjoyable when you have someone to work with.

If you don’t have any helpers at home, break down your tasks into manageable portions. If your home is really in need of a big cleaning take on the most used room first. Then take a break and do something fun or enjoy a little treat of coffee or tea. Then take on the next most used room.

Breaking the cleaning up into portions and taking a break in between can help to motivate you to get the cleaning done. Because you know you’ll have a break in between each task.

Or if you don’t have that much time in one day, work on each portion on its own day after a few days the whole house will be clean. Either way breaking the cleaning down into manageable portions makes the task of cleaning the whole house a little easier.

Use a Great Smelling Cleaner

I know this one might sound silly but scents can really lift your spirits and motivate you. My favorite scent is mint and I really like Dr. Bronner’s products, Method cleaning products, and  Mrs. Meyer’s products too. They have great scents to them and when my house is cleaned it also smells great too.
