I love to listen to music while I am cleaning house. I usually end up singing along to the music too. I know some just turn on the tv but then I will get interested as to what is on and I won't get anything done. Do you listen to music while you are cleaning? Do you have favorite cd you listen to while you clean?

Basically that's the only time I listen to music. I crank it up and dance with a broom! lol...it makes the housecleaning chores go by so much faster when I'm having fun!

My house is all carpet so I can't dance with my broom! I do crank up the stereo though I always hope the neighbors don't call in a noise complaint!

This helps me focus in cleaning. The things I listen are quite noisy ones :)

I listen to music anytime I have to do some knod of tedious work. On the bus, or while waiting for something or especially when cleaning. It seems to make me feel better and I am much more motivated while I am working. I usually get much more done and stay more focused on my task. I don't really have a favorite cd but any song on my ipod seems to do.

Hello luvstochat. Like you, I do like to listen to music when I am cleaning. I find it boring when there isn't any music playing in the background. There are times that I sing along to the songs that are being played. My favorite cd that I listen to when I clean is mostly upbeat songs.

When I am cleaning I tend to listen to audiobooks or podcasts on my Ipod. I think it is a better use of my time than just listening to music. Try it out some time it really makes the time fly.

i don't really turn on anything while cleaning. the tv and the radio is off. it's just because i want to concentrate on what i am doing. i love music. don't get me wrong. that's why while cleaning, i usually sing even if i don't have a good voice. anne

Yes, I love music and it helps me to do my daily chores, I always have my Ipod on whilst I am hoovering, washing, etc, it is good because I can't hear the telephone ring, the telephone will interupt my work, so everything else is put on hold until I do all my housework, I do it all at once to get it over and done with then I can relax. I sing along to the music I hear too!

Yes. It's the ideal time to listen to music. You tend to work faster while listening to music. I usually listen to heavy songs while cleaning so as to increase my pace. I tend to work along with the pace of the song.

Sometimes I do. I put on some Pacific Island music and sing along with the songs. Not only is it relaxing but it also pumps me up to keep going LOL

When I clean my downstairs area I always listen to music. I like to her it as I dust, clean and tidy away. It gives me inspiration and can make me feel very happy. I think dance music makes to me work in a particularly speedy way. My favorite thing to listen to at the moment is a disk playing 80s dance music. I brings back happy memories of a great time in my life. When I clean upstairs I do things a bit slower possibly because I don't have any music up there. I don't ever sing along. Well my singing is really really really awful and no one deserves to hear it.

I always start singing when I clean. Sometimes i listen to the radio and sing along, but most of the time I just sing by myself.

definately! I love to listen to music while I work because it pumps me up and makes the cleaning fun. Hehe I even dance around with the duster and stuff. Sometimes I listen to the radio and other times I put my ipod on.

Music makes chores seem less like chores. I love to listen to music while I clean. I don't have a particular CD that I always listen to, but I usually play something that is upbeat and that I can sing or dance to in order to keep me in a good mood so I don't get bored. Like you, if I had the TV on I might get interested in what is on and sit down to watch. I would never get anything done. But I do sometimes have the TV on while I sit and fold laundry, or make a grocery list.
