36 Ways to Make Cleaning Fun

— October 3, 2008 — Lifestyle
You hate cleaning, so do I, but it doesn't have to suck you know? OK, fine, so vacuuming will always suck, but chores can be fun. While no one has found a way to get birds and mice to help you a la Cinderella (darn!), savvy inventors have realized how badly we want to minimize the downsides of having a home.

Some of these innovations makes cleaning a fast process so you can get those chores over with ASAP. Others make cleaning fun... and a select few make outsourcing the work a breeze, such as strap-on mops that let your toddler shine your floors for you!
