For cleaning enthusiasts, spring is the most wonderful time of the year. For those who aren’t quite as excited about home cleaning at the turn of the season, though, it’s just one more unpleasant task to complete. But spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore! Add some fun to your spring purge with these suggestions and see the difference they make as you clear the clutter and settle into a tidier living space.

5 Ways to Make Spring Cleaning Fun

1. Add Some Entertainment

Cut through the tedium by using this time to indulge in a bit of entertainment. Slip on your headphones and listen to the audiobook you’ve been saving for a rainy day. Or break out some old music and listen to some favorites. You’ll settle into a cleaning “zone” and find everything goes much more quickly.

2. Have a Race

If you’ve enlisted the family for a deep-clean session, make it fun for everyone by turning your tasks into games. If clutter is king in your household, for example, set a timer and have everyone tackle a specific room. Race to see who can complete the job the fastest.

3. Plan a Shopping Spree

Purging old possessions can be tough, but it’s one of the best ways to make your home cleaning project a success. In addition to freeing up valuable space, you'll have an excuse to shop for items you'll enjoy. For example, donating old clothes will make room for new styles, and parting ways with ancient furniture will provide an opportunity to purchase items that are more functional and attractive.

4. Work Up a Sweat

It’s true—cleaning counts as exercise! By working up a sweat while you deep-clean surfaces, floors, and baseboards, you can burn a few extra calories. Make it count: add a few lunges to your vacuuming routine, squat as you dust lower spots, and engage your arms to clean floors with more intensity. You’ll feel it the next day!

5. Choose a Reward

A little self-motivation goes a long way, like the promise of a reward at the end of an epic home cleaning session. Schedule a massage, book a long overdue manicure, or plan a date night for later the same day. You'll feel far more energized if you know there’s something to anticipate on the horizon.
