clothes, and toss dirty clothes in the hamper. Give your child a dust rag to wipe off
shelves as he puts toys and books away.
• Turn on some fun music that your whole
family loves, and encourage your kids to
boogie while they work.
• If you run across clothes or toys your children have outgrown, have them place the
items in a box for sale or donation.
• Once the floor is clear, give your child a
damp rag to wipe the dust off baseboards,
and then let him help you sweep or vacuum
the floor.
Tips for Any Room:
• Make sure the window curtains are pulled
back to let the sun shine in! The sunlight is
motivating and will keep you going when you
feel like letting the winter dusties win. Open
the windows if possible to bring in fresh air.
• Keep recycled trash bags and donation
boxes handy, and a laundry basket or bucket nearby to collect the dirty reusable cleaning cloths.
• If you don’t think your children are up for
a marathon cleaning session, don’t fight
it. Break the tasks down over a few days –
clean the kitchen one day, the bathrooms
another, the bedrooms and living room a
different day.
• Plan a reward for the end of each cleaning day. A trip to the park or movie night
can be great motivation to clean again next
time!
