Tricks to Make Spring Cleaning FUN and Put Stretch to the Test

Susan here to get you inspired to spring clean. My daughters, Julia and Sophia, along with my niece Olivia, helped me make a quick video to give you ideas for putting a little fun into spring cleaning. This post is part of a sponsored campaign but as always my opinions are my own.

There’s a lot of cleaning in motherhood.
And when spring comes, there’s even more!

So to get myself motivated for spring cleaning, I have a few little tricks…

Put Stretch to the Test on your Spring Cleaning Mess

Spring cleaning is all about getting into those tough spots where dirt has built up all year. It’s the perfect time to grab your Viva® Vantage* Towels and put their stretch to the test.

Put Stretch to the Test on Your Spring Cleaning Mess

Viva’s unique STRETCH — derived from proprietary technology called “V-Flex* Weave” — allows it to flex and conform which makes it easier to scrub tough spots.

Cleaning Checklist and Recipes

To make your spring cleaning easier, print off a copy of our spring cleaning checklist and our easy DIY cleaning recipes.

Spring Cleaning Checklist Printable

Using a printed checklist while you clean helps you stay on task and keeps you motivated as you tick off your completed jobs. With your kids, you can take some simpler items from the checklist and make chore sticks. My girls loved making their own chore sticks and then being able to move them from the “To Do” jar into the “Done” jar.

Making your own cleaning supplies is not only a great way to save money but it’s an easy activity to do with your kids.

Tricks to Make Spring Cleaning Fun

Cleaning may not be your idea of a fun time, but by using the tips and tricks we shared in the video above, you can inject some fun into your spring chores.

Try It Yourself

When you’re spring cleaning, test the stretch for yourself.

    Great tricks, Susan! I just wonder if those Viva towels are good to clean windows too – I think I see a white window frame in the last photo, correct me if I’m wrong. I’ve never tried them myself before but if they can stretch and don’t leave streaks in the same time, they should do a pretty good job for glass surfaces.

    Sometimes I really feel that I am a cleaner. And this feeling don’t leave me so easy. I have 2 kids, so I will try including them in the cleaning job and will hope to be motivated enough to help me. I printed your checklist and will put in on the fridge in order to see it better.
    Thanks for sharing it and I believe that it will be useful for a lot of women.
