Is getting started the hardest part of cleaning for you? Does the thought of walking into the room of doom give you absolute nightmares? Guess what? You are not alone. Nearly four-fifths (79.70%) of people admit to procrastinating on dusting, followed by cleaning windows (78.50%) and clearing out the fridge/freezer (72.40%), according to a Homeaglow survey. That means the person sitting next to you on your local transit bus or subway absolutely despises the idea of cleaning as much as you do.

There are a few ways you can take the first step and approach this with confidence! You can:

  1. Just clean it. Sure. Roll up your sleeves, grab your favorite cleaner and sashay your way into that room with confidence. Let’s be real with ourselves though. Who has the time?
  2. Phone a friend. Have a cleaning party. Invite the besties to come over for a bite to eat and a offer them a broom to sweep. Put on some music and make it fun.
  3. Hire a cleaning service. If you live in the Delaware or Maryland, here’s a cleaning company that offers flexible scheduling and customized packages to fit all your cleaning needs.

Ultimately, it’s up to you what you decide. Whether you contact a professional, have your best pals over or grabbing the vacuum yourself. You got this!
