1. Make a plan
Before getting started, make a list of what you need to do and then bundle the more time-consuming tasks with the simple jobs. Everyone seems to despise one thing more than the rest, so whatever that task is for you, do it first and get it out of the way while you still have both the energy and the patience.
2. Cleaning games
Do you have a hard time getting your family to help clean? Turn tasks into games, sort of like the game show Minute to Win It. Nothing like a little friendly competition to get your kids motivated and distract them from what they’re actually doing – cleaning. Make a race out of picking up toys, raking leaves, pairing up mismatched socks, or who can find the most money in the couch cushions.
3.Make a cleaning playing
Open up the windows, turn on the speakers, and let your favourite songs take it away. Good music can make even the worst of tasks – yes, even cleaning the highest of windows – somewhat tolerable. Before you start your spring cleaning fun, take some time to make the best playlist of your life. Put those oldies that take you back to high school on there, and before you know it your house will be clean enough to even make your mom proud!
4. Use vodka
