It’s that time of year when everyone is starting to think of cleaning out the house. Spring is here! While some people love to clean the house and start fresh, others really dread it. If you’re in the latter category you’re not alone. Here are five spring cleaning strategies to help you make these once-year-chores a little more tolerable.

Spring Cleaning strategies

Put on the Headphones

Music, podcasts, or audio books are a lifesaver when it comes to doing chores around the house. Find something that you really enjoy, and plug in your headphones so you aren’t tempted by other sounds around you. You’ll get so involved in the story or music, you’ll forget how much you hate cleaning. 

Here’s a free 30-day trial of audible, which comes with two free audio books to listen to while you get your spring cleaning done. Or, if you have Amazon Prime, you already have Amazon Prime Music, which includes two millions songs! Choose from curated playlists or personalized stations. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can try it free! And, finally, if you want to listen to podcasts, head to iTunes.

Do What You Hate the Most, First



There’s something to be said for doing things you really dislike right away instead of putting them off and continually dreading them. If you hate washing windows, get out the rags and start there. Sorting through winter clothes and swapping them out for spring clothes really drag you down? You know what to do – get to sorting! If you’re able to get the task you hate the most out of the way, then the rest of your spring cleaning tasks won’t feel quite so painful.

Make it into a Game

This is a long shot but works for some people. Time yourself to complete different tasks, or list out all of the different things you have to do on different pieces of paper, and pull one at a time out of a jar to complete them. You could get your whole family involved one day, and race to see who can complete their jobs the fastest.

Call Your Mom

It doesn’t have to be your mom, but give someone a call who you know you can get wrapped up in a conversation. You’ll be so busy talking that you’ll forget you’re doing something you hate – cleaning! It’s really amazing how much work you can get done when you’re not really paying attention!

Spring Cleaning strategies

Hire Someone!

If you have discretionary income available, hire someone to help you. This doesn’t mean it needs to be someone that cleans your home top to bottom but perhaps you just hire someone that does one or two of the big tasks to help out. Carpet cleaning, window washing, and outside maintenance are three of the big areas you could hire someone to help with. Consider your circle of friends and family for this as well. Maybe you have a sibling or a cousin that really loves cleaning, hire them! Chances are it may be more affordable than you think.

There’s no guarantee you’ll like cleaning any more when you’re finished than when you started, but you will have a cleaner house, and maybe not dread every second of the process!

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
