Can Cleaning Ever Be Fun For Kids?
2

• Your kids should probably be feeling lucky that
  youre even asking the question of whether
  cleaning can be fun for them, since many parents
  inflict it upon them without stopping to think
  whether they might enjoy it!
• Of course, cleaning when handled in the right
  way, can be a whole lot of fun for kids, and here
  are some simple tips for keeping the enjoyment
  levels up for them
• Make them a cleaning basket
• Let your kids pick out a brightly coloured basket
  from the store and help them to fill it with the
  items that theyll need for completing some
  simple cleaning chores.

• No need to over complicate things, making their
  basket so heavy that they cant even lift it!
  Just a few simple items such as disinfectant
  wipes, a dustpan and brush and some microfibre
  dusters should be enough.
• Clean together
• If you have more than one child helping you to
  clean, then pair them up or split them into
  groups depending on how many of them there are,
  and youll find that theyll get the tasks
  completed quicker and to a higher standard. Team
  work also helps kids to learn and build their
  skills, so its a win-win situation for everyone
  involved!

• Be prepared to actually let them help!
• While it can be tempting to just complete the
  necessary cleaning chores yourself after all,
  youre probably quicker and will make a better
  job of it its important that you have the
  patience to let them learn. Not only is it good
  for them to feel as if theyre helping you, they
  will need to clean their own homes when they
  eventually step out into the big, wide world
  without you, and theyll certainly need some
  cleaning skills.
• Be sure to reward them
• Kids function much better with the prospect of a
  reward at the end of the task, in much the same
  way that us adults like to be paid for our work!

• Give your kids an incentive to help you clean,
  whether it be money, candy, a trip to the park or
  some other special treat that they deserve, and
  youll find their willingness increases tenfold.
  As they get older and understand more about the
  responsibilities of keeping a clean home, or at
  the very least, a clean bedroom, then naturally
  you can reduce the rewards as you see fit.
• What if you dont have kids? Well, then a
  professional cleaning company is probably what
  you need anything that means you dont have to
  worry about cleaning your home when you have so
  many better things to be doing.
