A clean and tidy house means for me order in my head. It's just not my favorite activity. Time for some great tips to make the big cleaning a little more fun!
Cleaning is really not my thing. With 3 young children it is sometimes a real challenge and I dread it every time. However, I really enjoy a tidy and clean house. A hall full of sand and shoes or a full counter makes me restless and puts me in a bad mood.
Together you do more
Some jobs are just better to do together. Ask a friend to help you! Invite someone for a job date , because cleaning together (which of course also includes gossiping, laughing and chatting) will encourage you to do your best and your house will undoubtedly become even cleaner. Please realize that you can also do this good deed in return.
Put on music!
Dancing and singing cleaning is a lot more fun. Music always gives me energy and singing along out loud makes me very happy. With a bit of luck, you can also turn your cleaning session into a real workout. There are a lot of playlists on Spotify. For example, try Cleaning music! Or Cleaning mix , or put on your favorite band or artists, for example I go well with Prince and Queen. If necessary, close your curtains and let yourself go every now and then.
Nice stuff
Use things that make you happy. Make sure you have plenty of cheerful microfiber cloths at home, nice buckets and a good squeegee and mop. Use cleaning agent with a nice scent. For example, use products from Humdakin orFoekje Fleur , which are not only tasty, but also environmentally friendly. Now that's a win-win-win!

Clean up and give away
Sometimes it's nice to get rid of some things that you're tired of, but they can still be given a second life somewhere else. How about giving it away to a friend or a neighbor, or perhaps to a thrift store or the Salvation Army .
Reward yourself!
Don't forget to reward yourself for your hard work. Of course with a good coffee break with something tasty or a healthy snack, but also provide a nice reward for when the job is done. Something to look forward to. For example, have a delicious 3-course menu delivered from your favorite restaurant or buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Maybe you put a tasty and fun one reed diffuser down. Or how about a nice window sticker on those clean windows that will give you cheerful rainbows every day!
I hope I have been able to inspire you. Which tip are you going to work with?
