Ways to improve housecleaning
Just did some, and I don't know anyone who likes it. I generally keep a "neat" place but don't like to actually scrub, clean, vacuum, etc.
1. Make it a competition
With your family, or yourself. How fast can someone do "X". "You clean the kitchen, I'll clean the living room. " Or, you just time yourself and try and beat that time next go around.
2. Clean for 5 min
It's surprising how much you can get done.
3. Listen to a book on tape
Time might fly by if it's a good one.
4. Listen to a podcast
Same as #3.
5. Blast music
6. Never make it dirty in the first place
This is hard. Eat out, so you don't use your kitchen, for instance.
7. Clean one room a day
I don't like this, bc then you are cleaning every day.
8. Hire someone
My favorite, but it costs money. Saves time, though. We usually do this once a month or at least every other month.
9. Get a robot vacuum
We have one and sometimes forget to use it. It's not bad, but doesn't deep clean or anything. Great for pet hair.
10. Make your children clean
The old-fashioned way...
