Keeping your home tidy and neat while you have young children in the house can seem like an impossible task. However, it is essential for maintaining your indoor air quality, especially with spring around the corner. The trick is not to buy the most expensive vacuum or carpet cleaner but to get your kids involved and turn this into a yearly tradition. Here are a few tips you can use to get your kids in the spring cleaning mood.

How to Involve Your Children in Spring Cleaning

1. Offer Rewards

If this is your kids’ first time participating in spring cleaning, the tasks may initially seem fun. But children will grow tired of sweeping floors and sorting through old clothes. Get them excited and keep them involved in the process with the help of rewards. Promise to reward their efforts with their favorite meal. Or, offer to take them somewhere fun, such as the park or an arcade.

2. Keep It Fun

Your kids can vacuum and dance at the same time. Additionally, consider turning some chores into a game or competition. Time how long it takes them to tidy up one room and see if they can beat their score in the next. Race your kids to see who can pick up the most trash in the shortest amount of time.

3. Give Everyone Their Own Task

No matter how big or small it is, all your children should have their own task to complete. This gives them a sense of ownership and holds them accountable. Once the cleaning is done, they have a clear sign of what they contributed to the cleaning effort. Give older kids larger tasks like organizing the garage or scrubbing the bathroom. Leave the smaller tasks like vacuuming and mopping to the smaller children.
