Quick Cleaning Tip: Get a Cleaning Companion
Who likes to clean the house, raise your hand… Waving hand, OK, I admit it, I personally would rather clean the house than cook! But my disclaimer is that I do make homemade meals every day because I want my family to eat healthy food. But if I had a choice between a toilet brush and a basting brush, my bets would be on the toilet brush. Somehow cleaning gives me a sense of satisfaction and completes a job that shouldn’t have to be done again right away. With cooking, it’s only a few hours and there you go again.
But, being a busy mom, there are times when the deep cleaning doesn’t get done around here. The house looks clean, but I know it’s not really, really clean. I have ledges in my house that need dusting that are so high they require a ladder. And like everyone else, I have blinds that need dusting, appliances that need to be pulled out, cupboards that need wiping and the list goes on and on. So what do I do? I call my mom! You’re never, ever too old to need your mom. So what can you do?
Get a cleaning companion! Having someone help you will make it so much easier to get through your list for the following reasons:
1) It makes you accountable to get ‘er done when you have a date and time set with someone else, whether it’s your mom, spouse or good friend (they must be a good friend if they are helping you clean).
2) It’s more fun to have someone to talk with while you work; definitely more fun than whistling while you work.
3) You’ll have someone to hold the ladder for you. I’m a chicken when it comes to the top rungs of the ladder, I feel so much better when my mom is at the bottom to catch me.
4) The work will get done faster with two people. Who wants to clean all day? I like it, but I’m not crazy.
5) Chances are you will do something fun when you are done, like go out for lunch together. I don’t like to cook all that much, but I love to eat!
If you’re struggling to get everything done or maybe just overwhelmed on where to start on your cleaning, get a cleaning companion and tackle it together! For more quick cleaning tips, please feel free to stay right here and read more!

I agree! Cleaning goes by so much faster when you have a companion. If I can’t find someone I also notice that listening to some upbeat music makes a huge difference.
