Would someone please tell me why I never want to clean this house?

Question

What do ppl do to get themselves to clean their house! I live alone. My business is also my home. But for the world of me, I cannot get started.

Answer 1

Turn on some music that just makes you want to move, maybe have a drink before you start and go to town!  I have found that once I start, I get on a roll and don't stop!!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

You live alone, you get lazy, you have no motivation. In my situation, I hate cleaning, I mean, I don't believe any one does. But when I look at a messy house, it just doesn't make me feel good. I feel like its dirty. So I vacuum and make sure I clean my pillowcases, bedsheets, do the laundry, tidy up, and so forth.  

Answer 3

your just lazy

Answer 4

Instead of thinking about the whole house, which will drain away all your motivation, pick one room. Usually the two rooms women want to keep clean are the kitchen and the bathroom. Pick one room and make a list. It will probably a short one. #1 Do dishes. #2 Sweep the floor. #3 Clean the outside of fridge, stove, countertops and appliances.

#4 Wash the floor. Voila! You're done.

The next day, do the same thing with your bathroom. Before you start, take all your linens, including the things you use in the kitchen, the bathroom and your bedding and throw them into the washer. Before you know it, you're kitchen, bathroom and your linens and towels will be done.

Day #3 tackle your office. Make out the same to-do list and do one item after another. Even if you don't get everything done on the list, finish the list the next day. Oh, and I absolutely agree with the music. Put on some tunes that will motivate you to move.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Start with one thing at a time. You should be happy once you see your place progressing, then finishing will be no problem. I hate cleaning as well, but I hate a messy house even more! Go figure?

Answer 6

Its overwhelming. Get a friend to help clean. My bestfriend had the most messy apartment I had ever seen. All she needed was someone to help her get started

Answer 7

If it's too overwhelming for you right now, try having a maid service come in just once. For about $100 you could have the current mess cleaned, then start fresh doing it yourself.

Sometimes you just can't do it because it seems like too much. But if you start with a clean house, it's MUCH easier to keep it that way. And there's a lot more incentive to keep the place clean, so that you don't have to pay again.

Answer 8

You have to organize it perfectly. I work as a personal organizer & have actually done this over the phone with people. Once the house is organized & this means get rid of clutter. Then you figure out what needs cleaning depending on how many rooms you have, etc. You can make a list & number it 1-30 & write down something you want to work on every day. This can include taking care of bills. Banking statement one day & matching credit card up with bill another day. So you look at the number on the sheet & it says 13 so on the 13th of the month you scrub the bathtub. This depends on how ambitious you want to be...You can also make it simple to clean &  when you feel energetic just grab the windex. Or what I do is every Fri. My husband vacuums & I swifer mop the floors.If you have no pets you can vacuum one week & mop the next but it would depend on your floors. It can be done though. You can also buy the best equipment. I actually have a vacuum that is like a remote control car & it just vacuums with out needed me. I get up everyday & straighten up & spray this clorox cleaner on the counters after I have breakfast so the whole kitchen is clean. I don't even think about it anymore it is so easy.
