Cleaning music

I love to have music on while I clean. It keeps me going and more motivated to get it done. I love to listen to 80s or 90s music while I clean. I love that stuff! I also sometimes listen to dance. Another favorite of mine is big band music but I prefer that more when I'm cooking. So do you listen to music while cleaning and if so, what do you typically listen to?

It really just depends on what my taste of music is that day that I plan on cleaning. I don't really listen to a certain type of music while cleaning or while doing other things.

It seems like I usually have certain types of music. At least that is the case most of the time. Other times I'll change it up due to mood and pick some other type of music.

I hate cleaning by myself, so I'll get my son to "help", open all the windows and doors with screens, take down all the curtains, and blast the soundtrack to The Bodyguard. We used to clean with my momma listening to that soundtrack, so it's a happy place in an otherwise bleak activity. I've never really even considered listening to anything else while cleaning. It's a novel concept. Blessed Be

That's a really nice story. Thanks for sharing that. I think it is great that it has meaning for you too. And it definitely does brighten up such an activity!

My son has this DVD that has babies dancing around and singing on it. That's usually what I use to clean. lol Well, at least that's what I use when I clean the living room. He's always in there with me when I'm cleaning. He's usually helping, by picking up his own toys, or putting the newspapers all in a pile. The other cleaning I do, I usually do while he is asleep, so I don't turn any music on. Sometimes he is such a light sleeper that he will wake up when I turn the TV on downstairs, so I don't risk turning anything on upstairs.

Cleaning? Do people still DO that? LOL I don't clean as often as in the past. As I get older dust seems to be less important. But when I do cleaning I like to listen to movie and broadway soundtracks. I especially like to listen to "Chicago" and "Chorus Line."

I do not mind cleaning. I do agree that the music helps you get in the mood more though. I like singing along to the music even though I sing badly.lol I don't sing when others are around. If it's just me, then I'll sing like a fool. haha
