Finding the time and energy to clean your home as it requires is one challenge, and finding the motivation to do so is another matter altogether. Vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and more is hard work, and it can take hours to do. You may be more motivated to start cleaning and keep at it until your house is sparkling if you have the right playlist running in the background. Now is a great time to prepare your playlist with good songs to listen to while cleaning. Be sure to add some of these high-energy songs to your mix.
“Good Feeling” by Flo Rida
The best time to start blasting your playlist is when you know you have chores to do. Put this song at the beginning of your playlist to get you up off the couch and moving in the right direction. Before the song is over, you may find yourself moving and grooving while you get the ball rolling with the dusting, scrubbing, and more.
“Roar” by Katy Perry
Everyone knows the words to this upbeat anthem, so it is the perfect addition to your house cleaning playlist. The song’s words evoke power while the rhythm energizes you. With this perfect combination, the time could easily slip away as you belt out the lyrics above the sound of your vacuum cleaner.
“Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi
Now that your playlist has you up and moving around, you need classic hits to keep you going. This Bon Jovi hit from the 1980s is a favorite at karaoke bars for a reason. It is a sing-along song that fills you with passion, so it will undoubtedly keep your mind off of the hard work in front of you.
“Wild Thing” by Tone-Loc
You can keep your playlist moving along with another favorite from the 1980s. The lyrics and beat are fun to dance around. Before you know it, that tough cleaning job may be behind you, and you may be ready to work on the next item on your to-do list.
“Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen
Distraction is the perfect way to make time fly. This upbeat song gives you plenty of other, more enjoyable things to think about while you do the dirty work around your house.
“Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus
Party in the USA is the ultimate party anthem, so it is the perfect tune to follow Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit in your cleaning playlist. It may make you want to “put your hands up,” so it could be a great song to listen to while you are wiping down ceiling fan blades, mirrors, and other high surfaces.
“Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson, featuring Bruno Mars
Do you know all the words to this high-energy dance hit? You will not mind all of the scrubbing and polishing you need to do while this song is playing in the background.
“Just Dance” by Lady Gaga, featuring Colby O’Donis
These hits may have gotten you through many of your chores, but you may need one more song to finish things up. End your house cleaning efforts on a solid note while you dance and sing along to this favorite from Lady Gaga.

"I like any song that makes me dance while I clean, and funky disco hits are usually my go-to. This one is particularly hard not to bounce along to!" — Natalie, 28Burma Boy "Anybody"
"Listening to 'Anybody' while doing chores makes it less of a hassle because you can't help but dance along to the music. The whole album [African Giant] is the perfect soundtrack for a deep clean, but the opening horns of 'Anybody' will change your mood in an instant." — Ineye, 27Leven Kali "Mine"
"Such a good beat! You can sing along and dance to it too." — Esther, 25Bonnie Raitt "Angel from Montgomery"
"Bonnie just knows how to spice it up. She's a real queen." — Emma, 27Aminé "Spice Girl"
"It’s bright and catchy and energizes me." — Andie, 24Blondie "Pretty Baby"
"The first time I cleaned my apartment top-to-bottom I listened to Parallel Lines for the first time so now it's kind of a tradition. I time every big cleaning to that record and it never fails me." — Michelle, 23Britney Spears "Womanizer"
"The beats are awesome. It motivates me to clean and workout at the same time!" Meli, 51Queen "Fat Bottomed Girls"
"My mom would always put Queen on to clean when I was young. She would dance and sing — make it fun — to encourage my me and siblings to help with fewer complaints. This song was always my favorite because I thought the lyrics were hilarious [ah, to be 5 again...]. It's stuck with me as the best tune to clean to since then!" — Emmaline, 28Maggie Rogers "Light On"
"It's such a bop that I can sing and dance along enough that it keeps me distracted [because I hate cleaning]." — Hannah, 27One Direction "Drag Me Down"
"1D brings me joy through literally anything, including and especially my least-favorite-task of vacuuming." — Mary, 31Missy Elliott "Work It"
"I find this song especially helpful when I'm trying to work out a particularly stubborn patch of mildew in the bathtub." — Jane, 33 Mariah Carey "All My"
"I love listening to intense ballads while I clean so that a boring chore can be as dramatic as possible. This song is Mariah at her PEAK. The build-up to the third chorus is perfection, but the song is too hard for anyone other than Mariah to sing decently, so it's best that I do it while I'm alone cleaning. This song helps me give My All to Swiffering the floor." — Whizy, 30
