Nobody likes cleaning – especially not kids. But does it have to be that way? Tools like Handee Pockets make cleaning simple, easy, and even fun, and there are plenty of ways to keep the good times going!
It’s all fun and games
Who says playtime and chores have to be separate? Making a game out of cleaning is the easiest way to add some fun into the mix. One strategy to pass the time and add some play is the “One Minute Tidy Game” – the fast-paced excuse to get moving does the trick! Another is cleaning by categories. Whether it’s telling the little ones to pick up every doll, or put away everything that goes upstairs, this strategy just works! One fun twist? Give each child a different type of Handee Pockets and tell them to wipe down everything they can find that fits that category! Congratulations – your Stainless Steel is shiny and fingerprint-free.
Teamwork makes the kids work!
Divide and conquer might be the best tactic for chore charts and daily tasks, but when it comes to taking care of messy rooms (or the dreaded whole-house tidy), the best strategy is bringing in the whole team. Making cleanup time a family activity speeds up the process and lets you avoid those “But that’s not fair!” temper tantrums. Plus, when Mom and Dad are cleaning too, you can lead by example AND make sure everything’s actually getting done. No more hiding the toys instead of putting them away, kids!
Get the dance party started!
Alexa, start the music! With the kids’ favorite playlist on, every activity is fun – especially one that lets you dance around the house. Make it extra special by letting the kids take turns picking songs, or coming up with dance routines for certain tasks. This is a surefire way to make cleaning fun for kids and might just spark a dance party too! (Pssst – Handee Pockets make the perfect dance partner. Hello, jazz hands!)
Winner winner, who’s the best cleaner?
Everybody likes winning, especially the kiddos. There are plenty of ways to incentivize cleanup, from hiding small treats where diligent cleaners will find them to declaring that the most dedicated chore-doer can pick what the family watches on movie night. Even little rewards make a big difference in fun! After all, what’s a game without the prize?
Clean smarter, not harder
Not every kid is ready for the big jobs – save the vacuum for later! But tools that simplify cleaning let the little ones have a big impact. The power of microfiber and a carefully considered design make cleaning with Handee Pockets easy, no matter how small the hand. With Handee Pockets uniquely designed for every surface and task, the whole house will be cleaner than ever with less work. (And maybe a few breaks for Handee Pockets puppet shows!)
