Getting ready to tackle spring cleaning can be discouraging, especially if you’ve got a lot to clean up and declutter. But this year, Church & Dwight has some ideas to help make the process easier! Here are four tips that will help you breeze through your spring cleaning!
Tip #1: Call in extra troops
Fighting off greasy stains, tough mildew, and stubborn odours will require an additional set of hands – so make this a family affair and grab as many troops as you can! When it comes down to it, you’re not the only one living under the roof.
Tip #2: Take your time
Remember that while adrenaline may be rushing to get your house looking spotless, it’s wise to spread out a large project like this between a few days. The season is here to stay so no need to panic! The last thing you want is an injury to welcome you into spring.
Tip #3: Map it out
Organize, organize, organize! Work from the top down, inside to outside, and keep an agenda to prioritize. Allocating rooms to each person (or doing it one at a time by yourself) will also help avoid unfinished tasks. Setting this up at the beginning will make the process so much quicker and more efficient.
Tip #4: Have fun
Turn on the radio, lay out a few snacks and don’t take it too seriously! Celebrate the season of greener grasses and sunny weathers (without the sweat and sunburns).

Personally, great music makes a big difference to my mood when I’m cleaning any room. And a reward afterwards, like a nice bubble bath, helps motivate me to finish the job! But no matter what tips and tricks you use for spring cleaning, products from Church & Dwight can help you clean quickly and efficiently!
I turn up the music and sing alone.
There has got to be lots of loud music – top 40. I try to get my Mom to help because it is always better working with a friend. Then after I am finished, I treat myself to a reward – like a movie and a relaxing night.
I’m sorry but cleaning and fun just do not belong in the same sentence at my house! Music does make it tolerable.
Blast music and dance
We make spring cleaning fun by doing it as a family event!
Put on some good old Rock and Roll
I make Spring Cleaning fun but putting on some good music like a little Eric Church and Luke Bryan.
Lots of music and get the whole family into and then we get a reward after…a movie or ice cream :)
We put on music and clean while we dance
I get a pedicure…. after my “chores” are done… okay, okay, when it’s nice enough to wear sandals!
