Make Spring Cleaning Easier and Fun with These App!
While we love coming up on the spring cleaning season, we realize not everyone is crazy about it. We wanted to share some apps that will not only make spring cleaning easier, but fun (yes, fun!).
Cleaning Checklist
This app helps you organize and manage household cleaning tasks and activities. Pick a room (i.e. bedroom), select the tasks you want to complete (i.e. make bed, dust, clean closet) and check-off when tasks are completed. One thing we love about this app is that it shows you what percentage of the room is clean — so you can quickly see which rooms may still need some attention. You can also set personal task reminders such as “Cleaning Supplies” that will remind you what to pick up at the store.
Chore Bank
Want the kids to help with your spring cleaning chores? Chore Bank allows you to set up a chore list, assign a monetary value to each chore, know when a chore has been completed and make deposits into your child’s account. You can even download a chore calendar and text reminders to your kids!
Home Routines
This app is for what they call “Repeaty Stuff”–you know, those jobs around the house that you need to get done around the same time and same day. While this works for all sorts of routines, what we love most is the “Focus Zones” section. This where you can keep your own detailed cleaning list for each room or area of your place. These can rotate per day of the week, week of the month, etc.
Green Shine
If you’re looking for earth-friendly cleaning solutions at your fingertips, try Green Shine. The app contains environmentally friendly solutions for more than 100 everyday housekeeping tasks from simple window cleaning to stain removal.
There are also a handful of websites that help you keep things clean, organized and beautiful all year long. Checkout RealSimple.com for quick-read stories and cleaning checklists, HGTV.com for DIY decorating tips and, of course, our website, GreenHouse Eco-Cleaning, for advice on how to have — and maintain — an eco-friendly home and lifestyle.
