What can I do to get in a cleaning mood?

Question

It's hot and I don't feel like cleaning... my husband comes home on Thursday and the house is a mess. All my friends say it is clean and that I am just excited that my baby is coming home- only for 3 days. I want things to be perfect, I want him to know that I can handle things while he is gone.

I am not a freak about cleaning, lord knows wih 3 teenagers it is a never ending battle. The washer is always going and there is always dishes in the dish washer.

I just can get in the cleaning mood and he will be here in 2 days... HELP!

Answer 1

Put some upbeat music on and get started on small stuff first. Once you get going and you see results it'll keep you going. Spray the house with house spray to get the good smell in there, that kinda helps get the mood going or maybe light some candles that smell good. Rearrange a little bit, that gets things started too and just keeping thinking of the results and how good you'll feel when it's all done and behind you. Keep busy, the day will fly by and before you know it you'll be waiting for your hubby to walk in the door.

Answer 2

Only clean for any hour at a time. Might help to make priority of what you think needs to be cleaned the most. So clean for an hour then do something else until you eventually get it all finished.

Answer 3

MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC. Music can motivate anyone to clean. Put on some upbeat music and force yourself to start. Once you get going you'll find yourself going "okay next I'll do this and next I will do this." Good Luck.

Answer 4

Make a list of the things you need to do and *** you do them cross them off and when everything is done write done across the page in big letters. It feels so rewarding to know what you have done and you don't feel like a chicken running around with their head cut off. Sometimes you work hard all day and try to figure out what you have done and by looking at the list you can see exactly what you have done. Do one room at a time and move on to the next room when that one is complete. I always end in the kitchen since that is where I'm rinsing things.
