Do you need hassle-free tips to get you cleaning happy? Well, I got 4 of them for you today. Spring cleaning is something that I love. I said it before, and I will say it again…I love spring cleaning!
Yes, I am aware that many people out there don’t have that same kind of joy when it comes to cleaning. I thought I would lend you a virtual helping hand. As much as I would love to help clean all my reader’s homes, I just don’t have that kind of air miles, however, we can all agree that we want to have as much less stress as possible when it comes to cleaning especially when you don’t love to clean.
Who wouldn’t want less stress and a faster way of getting these tasks done? I am just the same when it comes to cleaning, that is why I am sharing four tips that I like to use when cleaning in general or spring cleaning.
1. Organized List
Grab yourself a piece of paper and a pad or jot it down on the virtual notepad on your phone. Having everything listed down can be daunting. After all, it is a long list and you only have limited time, however, it can also be a helping hand to guide you through all the things that need to get done.
Want in on a secret? I personally love using my Spring Cleaning printable every year. Now, I don’t even print off a new one each year, I laminated it so that I can use an erasable marker on it and don’t have to think too much about it.
If you want one for yourself – snag my Spring Cleaning printable. It is FREE! Then laminate it and reuse it each year like me. If you don’t have a laminating machine, I use AmazonBasics PL9-US Thermal Laminator and their laminating sheets then use slim Lumocolor STAEDTLER Fine Non-Permanent Marker.
2. Caddy
One of the most annoying things is the back and forth routine when cleaning. Let me give you a tip to save you from doing this. Instead of going back and forth over and over around the house or apartment, try easing up that process by having a caddy.
You may feel like a housemaid, but you will find that having everything right by your side in a handy caddy is just the helping hand you needed. They don’t have to cost a lot either, you can use a bucket you have laying around or grab one from your local dollar store or my favourite place Amazon.
Here are some caddies that you can use for your cleaning:

3. Multi-Use Products
There are a million products out there, shelves and shelves of them for just about everything which can be very difficult to hold in one caddy. I love products that have more than one use for them, last year I shared two cleaning tips for baking soda and vinegar that prove to be able to clean a majority of your home with just those items alone!

4. Entertainment
What can get you cleaning happy more than music? Nothing! I have said it before and I will say it again, music makes cleaning so much fun. I love keeping the music to myself on my phone and a pair of headphones, by having it on a playlist set up I can be hands-free and completely focus on the task ahead. Groove to the beat or listen to your favourite novel on audio. Who says you can’t have some fun while cleaning!
