House cleaning can be such a drudgery and a job that many people procrastinate in doing.  And it’s one of those jobs that won’t go away and needs doing on a weekly basis.  However, it can be made easier and sort of fun, here’s how.

1.  Before you start, put some of your upbeat music on, it’s a great motivator and makes the time more quickly, also you tend to clean quicker too.

2. Put all your cleaning products and tools in a cart that you can wheel from room to room, this saves a lot of time.

3.  Add a little fantasy by pretending your cleaning for your favourite celebrety who is coming for dinner, you will find yourself going that extra mile.

4.  Wear an apron with pockets for the small tools for ease of access and quickness.

5.  Declutter your house and get rid of unwanted stuff, have fewer ornaments on display, so much easier to dust and looks so much nicer too.  Take unwanted stuff to the charity shops, it’s easier than throwing them away and nice to know you are doing some good.  If you want to keep all your ornaments, you could put them out on a rotational basis.  Less is more.

6.  Split up your time into sections and have a cuppa and biscuit or something.

7.  Have a monthly blitz clean by Kleanology, to give yourself a break and know your home has had a clean from top to bottom.

8.  Clean with gusto and enthusiasm and treat your clean as an exercise routine.

9.  Involve the members of your family and get them all doing a cleaning task.

10. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you can easily move around in.

11.  Place a bin in every room, making it easier to throw away rubbish and unwanted rubbish.

12. Sing along to the music as you clean, really enjoyable.
