As someone who has been doing this job for close to 20 years, I can honestly say, I wouldn't be able to if I didn't love it. Many people see cleaning as an annoying chore and a task they would rather have someone else to do. It works well for my business, but for me this is much more than just a business. So, today I wanted to show you that cleaning can be fun. Really!

Get the family involved

Probably not applicable to all families, but in most cases cleaning becomes fun if you get everybody involved. You don't need to give orders, but try and play it out like a game. It is especially beneficial to children. They get to spend some quality family time, while on a "quest" and build important life skills and habits. It can be used also as a bonding time for couples. If you share your life together, why can't you share the cleaning too?

Use the time to think and relax mentally

Again, maybe this is not for everyone, but I have heard many women (and men!) say that cleaning soothes them. If they do it all by themselves, they use that time to really hear their thoughts and even plan for the future. I can testify to that personally. I love cleaning all by myself, immersing in my inner thoughts.

Make a plan

Cleaning can be fun when you make a plan and split the load. Surely, no one will be excited if they have to spend the whole day scrubbing a huge house. But it doesn't have to get to that. Do little every day and you will see how after a few weeks you will get used to it and look forward for the next task at hand.

Get your favourite music on

Oh, this is a really good one! Cleaning while listening to your favourite music is nothing but fun! You can throw a few dance moves in with the vacuum cleaner, just like Mrs. Doubtfire.

It's all about your attitude

In the end, it always comes to how you really feel about cleaning. Perhaps you genuinely dislike it and no matter what you try you still won't find it fun. But maybe all you need is just a little change of perspective. For all the years I've done this job and built a successful business on it, I never stopped feeling this great satisfaction, whenever I leave a home spotless and refreshed. It is a sense of achievement that comes from the fact I made someone's home a more cosy and pleasant place to come to. It makes me even happier when I do it for my own family, because I know all the benefits of a clean and safe home.

What are your thoughts on cleaning? Do you hate it or do you think you might give it a go and with a little change in perspective like it? Either way, you know Bredon Hill Cleaning Services will always be happy to lend you a helping hand when you need it.

Yours truly,
