If You Have to Clean, These Songs Have The Best Rhythm
After all the time at home over the past few months, the house has collected some dust and randomness, and some songs will motivate us to get after it more than others. Not every good cleaning song has to be upbeat!
The key to a good cleaning song must be its ability to put our minds on something besides the task at hand. If a song can trigger happy thoughts about your last hot date or help you daydream about an upcoming vacation, it's like you're not even holding a dust mop. You're on a tropical island with your sig other and it's almost time for happy hour. Or at least music helps.
The best songs to clean while dusting and vaccuuming, according to Wren Kitchens, seem kind of girly to me. Which could mean that guys need to be picking up the Pledge and a dust rag a little more often. Ha!
Feel free to add your own songs to this list. We know you've got 'em.
