• Getting other members of your household involved
  in cleaning the home can make life a whole lot
  easier for everyone and can certainly lift the
  weight from your shoulders. Here are a few tips
  and tricks to get the whole family to help clean
  the home
• Make it into a competition
• Most people, young and old, cant resist a little
  bit of good old-fashioned competition, even when
  it comes to leaning. Why not assign point values
  to different chores and encourage members of the
  family to get as many points as they can at the
  end of each week. An incentive to gaining the
  most points will of

• course, make the competition more appealing, so
  you could perhaps give a little prize to reward
  the winner.
• Make it into a game
• Keeping a score for each cleaning task is one way
  of making a game out of it, but why not start
  something like a family game show and have
  different challenges such as who can clean the
  oven the quickest or who can vacuum the
  fastest? Depending on how willing your family
  members are, this could be a fun way to get
  everybody involved.

• Take regular breaks
• Even if your family are willing participants in
  your cleaning games, they wont want to clean
  non-stop without any breaks. Make sure that
  everybody can take a breather now and then, and
  why not use the opportunity to gather together
  and have coffee and cake together, or something
  that will help bring you all together before you
  go your separate ways to clean.
• Make it a set time each day or week
• If everybody in the family is clear about when
  the cleaning times are, there will be less reason
  for them to make excuses or be busy with other
  things they can

5

• plan their time around it and that way, the
  cleaning is guaranteed to be completed.
• If there are small children in your household,
  then you will surely want to go down the reward
  route with the cleaning schedule! Some children
  enjoy mimicking the actions of the adults in the
  home and will happily grab a duster or throw
  their laundry in the basket without the promise
  of a treat or reward, while others will need a
  little more encouragement and incentive.
• Whoever is in your household, make sure that they
  understand it isnt just your sole responsibility
  to keep the place clean and tidy, and if
  approached in the right way, your family home
  could be spick and span in no time.
