Motivation Tips To Give My House A Spring Clean ?

My deepest sympathies!
I’m in the middle of a spring-cleaning myself. Fortunately I don’t have a daughter to look after.
Since you both work, you need to somehow arrange your days off together. Send your daughter to stay with a baby-sitter or with friends. Or if she is old enough, give her chores to help too.
Start in one corner of a room and work around it, moving stuff and cleaning as you go. Along the way, throw out broken stuff and gather the stuff that is still good but that you don’t use any more.
After you’re done cleaning and putting things back, make it a habit to put things away when you’re done using it. And try not to let chores build up: Believe it or not, it takes less time to wash dishes right after meals than it does to let them pile up.
If you have a bunch of chores to do, start a load of laundry and let the machine mind itself while you dust, vacuum, and mop.
Some people find it helps to have music turned on while they work.
Good luck!

If you have beautiful wood or hard surface floors, you can always look into non-toxic, environmentally friendly cleaners sold at http://www.floorcleaners.net. Help bring the shine and luster back to your floors can always help if you have it throughout the house.
If not and floors aren’t a big deal to you, then i’d suggest starting with areas you hang out most, and work your way back to places you don’t see too often, so you get the best effect from a clean room/house, right away.

thinking of doing the whole house is anti-motivational. instead decide to do one or two rooms at a time. you will feel great satisfaction when you have completed that and you will be motivated to take on another room or two later on. there’s no rush, is there? so don’t overwhelm yourself thinking you have to do it all at once. plan to do it over, say, a month and cut yourself some slack.

What I do is to put on a CD and set a goal for myself. Say, dusting the bedroom, living room and family room. Should be able to do that in the time of one CD. If it’s some up-tempo music that helps too. Housework is all a matter of ‘getting your head into it’, getting a momentum.

My motivation is my son’s first birthday party. My mother-in-law is coming into town for the party and I refuse to let her see it looking bad.

The best motivation for us has always been to invite guests, (like out of town family), to visit for a week-end.
