Real People, Real Tips: Our Readers' Best Cleaning Hacks

We're totally on boarad with this tip from Instagram user @samantha_coates, "[I] let the Roomba vacuum while I clean so I can mop right away."

Instagram user @angelrjordan uses "dryer sheets for dusting [her] blinds."

Actually, that's just one of many things dryer sheets are good for!

Lots of fans suggested playing music or listening to a podcast to stay motivated (or distracted?) while cleaning. We suggest channeling Instagram user @leighann_69's energy who says, "I put on some music and wear my crown; that's when they know I mean business."

"I give my 2-year-old a baby wipe to clean baseboards. She loves to help!", says Instagram user @mrandmrsbragg2009. Another fan, @mrsalliee, suggested a similar technique, "I bought a handheld vacuum for my toddler. Keeps her occupied and the house clean."

Instilling good cleaning habits at a young age is never a bad idea.
