Start with easy tasks, ventilate, reward yourself at the end and other ways to improve routine cleaning so that it brings peace and good mood.

1 Choose products with a pleasant smell

The smell is one of the strongest stimuli for our senses, which significantly affects the mood. These instantaneous changes can be noticed by entering your favorite pastry shop or an expensive clothing store. Therefore, in order for cleaning to be associated with something pleasant, conduct an audit of all accessories and detergents. Old musty sponges, rags and chemicals with an unpleasant smell are better to throw away. And to replace it, pick up something light: for example, citrus, fruit or floral. If you don’t like chemical odors in principle, choose cleaning products without fragrance, they are usually marked “for children” or “for sensitive people with allergies”. 

2 Start with small things

Cleaning will become a little more pleasant if you start it with the successful completion of one simple and quick task. For example, starting to clean up the room, first of all throw away some object that you definitely don’t need or just don’t like. It can be a hopelessly stained kitchen towel or expired cosmetics, a faded T-shirt or a plate with a chipped edge. Regular cluttering will only benefit the order and appearance of the house. 

3 Wash the windows and ventilate

Regular airing is a useful habit that everyone knows about, but constantly forgets. Because of this, the level of carbon dioxide increases: it is invisible, but leads to a constant feeling of fatigue, lethargy and headaches. If it’s difficult for you to start cleaning and you don’t want anything but to lie on the couch, just open the windows. After a couple of minutes, you will feel a surge of strength, and it will become easier to get out.

The second important point concerning windows is a layer of street dust and dried traces of raindrops. We are used to looking at the world through glasses and practically do not notice light surface contamination. But they still affect the perception of the interior. Surely every time after washing the windows, you notice how everything around seems brighter and brighter. Therefore, if possible, do this more often at least once every six weeks.

4 Free the surfaces from household trifles

Our brain loves straight lines and simple shapes. Because of this, for example, many people like minimalism in the interior, architecture, fashion and art. To cheer yourself up and make the space visually more pleasant, free up horizontal surfaces during cleaning. Remove all household items from the kitchen countertop, dining table, bedside table in the bedroom. Leave only spectacular accessories in sight: vases or large candles, a stack of glossy magazines, indoor plants. At the same time, you will get a sense of satisfaction from the fact that the house looks really tidy and there is more air in it.
