Tips to encourage children to help with spring cleaning

A spring clean remains an essential event for every household. Keeping up children’s motivation help’s encourage their activity when spring cleaning as well as combining the importance of cleanliness and fun. The key remains making the spring cleaning even amusing. If a spring clean remains controlled to the point that it seems draconian, it will not become beneficial or even enjoyable.


Keep the spring clean plans light, fun, and inspirational. Plan ahead through winter and ensure the family continues to remain aware of the day when the spring clean begins. Help to build anticipation as well as encouragement into the event. This will help your children to understand its importance.

Spring cleaning should become a fun activity, not a chore undertaken in duress. Helpful, loving encouragement, combined with a sense of fun, will help your spring clean go at an unprecedented speed. Keeping your children encouraged will help create a memorable experience for everybody involved.

Good energetic music can help create a sense of a fun energetic atmosphere, increasing productivity, while making children buzz with vigour. Allow your children to choose the music they prefer for spring cleaning. You children’s favourite music will help them become energised as they combine music with their cleaning activity.

Simple easy tasks such as moving, dusting, or washing floors can become integrated into spring cleaning games which children enjoy. A series of spring cleaning games can help motivate young children as well as more senior children. Providing fun ways to clean helps everybody within the house feel a part of the spring cleaning process.

Give a specific task based on your children’s inherent abilities. If they like to organise, allow the child to organise categories of junk. If they prefer energetic actions, get them in charge of dusting specific areas.

Have a healthy incentive afterwards like a family cookout, or a rewarding movie for your children's hard-work. Remember to keep spring cleaning as short bursts with clearly defined goals. The thought of cleaning with no apparent end will quickly de-motivate your children, draining their previous levels of encouragement.

Make cleaning fun by hiding mini-eggs, sweets, or pretend silver coins that offer an incentive for children to get busy moving small items. The silver coins can then act as a trade token for various items during stages through the spring cleaning event.

Set a clearly defined time for how long cleaning will take. If it’s one day make it clear from the beginning. Likewise a morning or afternoon spring clean will help encourage your children as they’ll understand what’s required from their effort.

Getting the most from your children during a spring clean is a result of providing the correct encouragement. Through establishing the event ahead of schedule, the children will begin to become aware of the spring cleans significance. Help make the cleaning fun, in short bursts, while offering clearly defined goals as well as incentives for completion. Use energetic music, ideally chosen with the help of your children, to gain the greatest encouragement factor during the spring cleaning event.
