1. Talk to a friend.

When you're ready to dig in to your cleaning, call up a friend for a chat.  The time will fly by as you enjoy catching up with a friend, and you won't even realize you're working!

How nice to look around at the end of a conversation and see everything that you got done!

2. Listen to music.

It is so much more enjoyable to clean when you're listening to some upbeat music!  Somehow it motivates you to keep moving!

If you get tired of music, a good podcast or radio show keeps things interesting too.

3.  Invest in good supplies.

Nothing makes cleaning more miserable than trying to work with the wrong supplies!

I made a stop by Walmart before I started on my cleaning to make sure I had all the things I needed.

One of the things I made sure to have was a good supply of paper towels and toilet paper.  I love being able to grab a paper towel for quick jobs.  Viva Vantage paper towels have a scrubby texture, so they are great for scrubbing everything from stovetops to patio furniture.  And Viva towels have a softer texture while still maintaining strength, so they are great for setting the kids to work on washing baseboards or for wiping out the silverware drawer.

And once I get the bathroom cabinet cleaned out, I want to make sure we're all set on toilet paper.  We seem to go through it like crazy, so keeping a nice stockpile is part of keeping my home out of chaos!  Scott  1000 and Cottonelle Clean Care or Ultra Care are all great options to keep on hand.

My local Walmart had plenty of everything that I needed, but you can also shop for all your spring cleaning stock-up needs online.

4. Make a game of it.

If your kids are cleaning with you, give everyone a baseboard to clean and tell them you're going to see who did the best job.

Or tell them you're going to have a race to see who can get their window washed the fastest.

If you're cleaning alone, pick a job and set the timer and try to beat it.

5. Learn tips and tricks to make cleaning easier.

Thinking you'll have to spend 3 hours scrubbing your oven?  Misery!  Finding out there's a simple way to clean it in minutes?  Amazing!
