DIY Ruffled Rubber Gloves + Tips to Make Spring Cleaning Fun
Let's face it, there's really not that much fun involved with spring cleaning, is there? I am not a fan of cleaning period but I know that it has to be done. We clean a little everyday and then we do a big cleaning each weekend. But during spring we clean a lot more. We did come up with a few tips that we use in order to make our spring cleaning more fun and keep everything organized.
Tips to Make Spring Cleaning Fun
1. Rock out.
We have speakers all over the house so I play my workout list all over the house to motivate everyone to clean. Or at least clean a little faster.
2. Devise a plan.
I don't do anything without a plan. When it comes to spring cleaning, we break our plans down by room and then each person takes an assignment so we don't duplicate our efforts.
3. Get the right cleaning products from Clorox.
To tackle the tough jobs in our home, we useClorox Disinfecting Wipes,Pine Sol Lemon, and Glad Trash Bags with Clorox Antimicrobial Odor Protection. All three products are available on Walmart.com along with savings and product offers.

4. Clean with style.

How cute are these! i would love to tackle my spring cleaning with super cute rubber gloves like this! Love these creative DIYS!
I saw ruffled rubber gloves at the store the other day and thought they looked fun. I never thought about making my own.
I’m liking your cleaning strategy and that pattern looks great with the gloves! I need to start getting rethinking my cleaning methods!
The ruffled rubber gloves are really clever. I especially like the easy directions and the wide choice of materials so I can make a set for just about everyone I know. It’s going to make cleaning a lot easier.
We use Clorox wipes and Glad trash bags in our home. You can’t beat the quality that they bring. My husband swears by those Force Flex trash bags especially.
We use clorox wipes all the time! They’re seriously a staple in my Cleaning cabinet!
I use Clorox for everything. My husband is newly addicted to the cleaning wipes, haha!
I LOVE those gloves! How cute! I wouldn’t mind cleaning with those 😉
I don’t mind cleaning but I rarely use gloves. These make me want to use them haha!
What a cute idea. Those are way better than your standard pair you pick up at the store. 🙂
I mean if you’re gonna be cleaning migth as well look cute! Those gloves are to die for!! The pleates make them very chic!
I don’t know whether Rocking out to classical music is a thing. But I always seem to love putting on a little John Williams and listening to some musical scores while doing the cleaning. It just seems to inspire me.
I think these diy gloves are adorable. I love the spring themed print!
I use Clorox to clean and I just love the way it makes things shine. I feel comfortable using it than other cleaners, and I do agree that those gloves look super cute 🙂
I love to get the house spring cleaned this time of year. All of these products look like they would help!
We use Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and love them. They are so easy to just grab and wipe. I will have to make a few pairs of these cute gloves.
These gloves turned out so well. I am excited to try making a pair for my spring cleaning. I just stocked up on Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.
i never thought of making my own. that’s such a cute idea!
What a nice idea to add ruffles on your rubber gloves, I have never thought of that, now cleaning will be add some fun and style.
Fabulous gloves for some fabulous cleaning! 🙂 How’s that! I actually have a pair of pretty gloves. I love pretty things even when it comes to cleaning stuff.
These gloves are simply adorable! I cannot wait to try and make a pair of these. They would make a great gift for a housewarming basket.
We’ve been getting better about cleaning as we go so spring cleaning isn’t the big chore. Clorox wipes help with that a lot, but music helps more!
I love this DIY ruffle rubber glove idea! so awesome : ) I’ll have to purchase some niceR rubber gloves to try this on… Also, great cleaning tips to make it as fun as it can be : ) I love the Clorox brand, such great quality!
That is such a super cute idea! We love using Pine Sol and Glad in our home.
Those rubber gloves are amazing! I want some 🙂 I always have to have music on while I’m doing the housework or it becomes way too much of a chore.
