With the days getting shorter and the weather getting drearier it’s harder to work up the motivation to whip out the rubber gloves. But there are a whole host of health and hygiene issues that blow in with the autumn wind. For a full list of essential autumn cleaning, have another look at last year’s article Forget spring cleaning, autumn’s where it’s at! (Autumn/Winter 07 Newsletter) This issue, however, is designed to inspire your inner-cleaner and show you how to make it fun and worthwhile (yes, it really can be...).
Whistle while you work The easiest way to get going is to put on your favourite tunes – and turn them up loud! Sing while you scrub, dance while you dust… it’ll be done in no time.
Many hands... Team cleaning is much easier than cleaning alone so get your partner or family involved to lighten the load. If they need a gentle nudge, why not devise a points and rewards system to encourage good work.
Think of it as free gym membership! Autumn is hardly the season to inspire you to go to the gym, so why not swap the treadmill for the vacuum cleaner and have a session at home? Vacuuming, mopping, cleaning windows and making beds are all calorie-burning ways to turn your housework into a workout - and you’ll have a cleaner, tidier house to relax in afterwards!
