Do you like cleaning your home?
Maybe not, but sure you love the results!
However, knowing that you “should” be cleaning isn’t always enough to get you into a cleaning mood. Don’t worry! In those cases where you don’t feel like cleaning, you can use one of these tricks!
Hack #1. Play upbeat music while cleaning
Sure, you already know how upbeat music can lift your spirits. However, here is a twist to the trick: use your favorite tracks as a motivator itself and as a timer.
Here is how you do it:
- Choose an amount of time for cleaning (let’s say 15 minutes.)
- Make a playlist with your favorite songs, and keep adding tracks until you reach the amount of time set in the previous step.
- Hit play and start cleaning until the list ends!
Hack #2. Set a “one task a day” rule
Sometimes, getting motivated to clean is like building a healthy habit. You need to start slow and be constant. A way to help yourself is by setting a “one task a day” rule.
It doesn’t need to be an enormous task. For example: Monday of mopping the kitchen floor, Tuesday of vacuuming the furniture, and so on. The important thing with this strategy is committing yourself to form the habit—you’ll see how it becomes easier each day!
Hack #3. Buy yourself a brand-new cleaning tool
Buying a new cleaning tool can work in two ways:
- Hacking your brain into wanting to use its new toy.
- Making cleaning chores easier!
It could be an electric scrubber or a robotic vacuum cleaner. However, you don’t have to take all your savings for expensive tools. A new cleaning product with a scent you love could be enough to get you in a cleaning mood!
Hack #4. Hire a professional deep cleaning
Here’s a catch-22: a home is dirty because no one cleans it, but no one cleans it because it’s too dirty! It’s never exactly like this, but you get the idea. An overly dirty home is just too much of a job.
If your home is dirtier than you would want, you can reset it to its spotless condition with professional help.

Hack #5. Share your cleaning goals with your friends
Social ties have much more to do with motivation than people often realize. If you are wondering how to motivate yourself to clean, begin by sharing your goals and progress with family and friends.
Do you want to go a step further? Invite people over to your home. You’ll feel the urge to clean as the date comes closer!
Hack #6. Store your smartphone while you clean!
Why do some people get demotivated to clean their house? Because they prefer to be doing something else! Smartphones (and devices in general) are huge distractions and might be playing a bigger role in your cleaning demotivation.
You won’t be sure that this is your case until you do a little experiment: hide your phone from yourself during your cleaning chores. Without the distractions, you might even finish earlier!
Bonus hack: forget about cleaning motivation!
Truth be told: you don’t need to motivate yourself to clean! Not more than you should motivate yourself for repairing your car or doing dental work on yourself. There is the option to outsource your chores.
