How to get kids involved in cleaning

Cleaning shouldn't be just for adults! Involving our children in housework not only helps maintain order and cleanliness, but also contains valuable, lifelong lessons. In this article, we will introduce what these beneficial qualities are and share tips on how to involve children in cleaning!  

Cleaning helps  

Cleaning , for example, develops a sense of responsibility and helps children understand the concept of responsibility . This way, they learn that everyone has a role in family life and that keeping the home tidy is a shared responsibility. This sense of responsibility will later be reflected in other areas of life, such as school or work.  

But cleaning also increases independence . By doing chores, children learn how to work independently and solve problems. Developing independence and problem-solving skills is key to succeeding in life.  

5 tips to encourage cleaning  

Here are 5 simple and fun tips if you want your child to help you clean:

Children often copy their parents, so it is important to set a positive example for them. Don't start cleaning with complaints, but if you can, do it with joy. Approach it as a joint program, during which we spend time together and achieve results together. If children see that we take cleaning seriously and do it with enthusiasm, they will be more willing to join us and participate in the tasks.  

Give your children simple, age-appropriate tasks. For example, ask them to put away their toys, take out the trash, or dust the house. But don't forget to give them cleaning products that don't contain traditional petrochemical ingredients, but natural ingredients, like CYCLE products.

Overall, choose tasks that don't require a lot of effort, yet have immediate results . It's also important not to expect too much from them, so they will have a sense of accomplishment and be more willing to participate in the housework.

Kids can't resist games, and why can't cleaning be a playful activity? Organize a family cleaning competition , dividing the areas and tasks equally. But don't reward the fastest, but the one who does their job most thoroughly!

In addition to playfulness, rewards are also important. In return for their hard work, don't forget to thank and praise the children for their work! We can also create a reward system with stickers, small gifts, and surprises . All of this will motivate them to participate in the cleaning with pleasure next time.  

The children's drawings on our new, limited edition labels bring cleaning a little closer to children. With these cheerful and creative labels, working together will be even more fun! Moreover, CYCLE products are not harmful to health, so you can use them with children without any worries.  

The package also includes 6 different concentrates and an educational, fun activity booklet titled Banana and the Magnificent Market by Eszter Fancsikai . After cleaning together, we can even encourage the children to draw their favorite or funny cleaning moments, or we can flip through the activity booklet together and learn about vegetables, fruits, the market, and sustainable eating.
