[UPDATED 12 April 2017]
Yeah, as if someone would like to read about chores?! Right?
Well.. You might be surprised!
As weird as it may sound, there are a lot of people who are passionate about cleaning. Nate and the other Move Out Mates, are the living, breathing example, but as it turns out, we are not the only ones.
Not only are there people who have made cleaning, organising and de-cluttering their career, but they have done an excellent job of giving cleaning an appealing, exciting and even inspiring shine!
Take a look at the following 17 blogs and before you know it you’ll want to get a fancy printable cleaning planner and indulge in making natural recipes for your own laundry detergent or carpet cleaner.

5. Recycled Interiors
This blog made our list because it emphasizes on something important, a type of cleaning that not only benefits us, but the environment too. We believe that there is no cleaning a cluttered house and where there’s clutter there’s a few things you can do – use, reuse, repurpose, recycle, donate or throw away. In Recycled Interiors, you will be given the opportunity to browse and choose from a number of creative upcycling projects and tips on how to live a more sustainable, frugal and simple lifestyle.

8. The Marathon Mom
Being a homemaker and a mom of 9… yes, you heard it right, 9 kids is definitely not a sprint, but a marathon. On The Marathon Mom you won’t find as many printables and green cleaning recipes, but you will learn a whole lot about homeschooling, keeping fit, being a mum to what is nearly a soccer team and staying organised. As Brandy says herself, feel free to kick off your shoes and stay awhile.

9. Organizing Homelife
What we loved about the Organizing Homelife blog is how seamless Ginny makes it all look – while organising a home and homeschooling four kids, she cleans, organizes, cooks, blogs and completes DIY project like it’s no big deal. If you are anything like her and feel life can’t get any busier, check out her tips and free printables for more inspiration and help in getting everything in good order.

10. Life Your Way
It should come as no surprise that this one had us at the title. Life Your Way is all about conscious living where life doesn’t just happen, but it is what you make it. Mandi is a wife and stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to 6 kids, so if there’s anyone who knows about the challenges of raising kids and keeping a house, life and mind organised, it is her. On Life Your Way, you will find plenty of resources and first-hand tips on cleaning and housekeeping, homeschooling, working from home and life with that many kiddos.

12. I Hate Cleaning
It may come as a surprise that some good advice can come from a person who claims to “hate cleaning”, but it’s sometimes the slobs that come up with the easiest and most enjoyable solutions to sluggish chores. In Lana Jane Fox’s case, you will be taken on a journey from zero interest towards cleaning to love for all things organised. As a young housewife what Lana lacks in experience she makes up in inspiring confessions and interesting stories about her experiences as a newly-wed.

16. Apartment Therapy
We are willing to bet Maxwell was the first ever apartment therapist. Before he created the awesome site on which he shares his decluttering wisdom today, he used to work with clients individually.

17. Mrs. Organised
Another great blog from Oz. Not sure if the pun in the name is intended, but we love it none the less. Sandie loves organising and is a magician at juggling tasks because of it. Hop on her site and check her guides. Or even gather ideas for delicious lunchbox surprises to prepare for your children!

Hope we gave you enough useful motivating resources and reads. We don’t clean for the sake of cleaning, except Nate(No offence, mate). We clean and organise to create a more pleasant environment where we can let our creativity and happiness flourish unhindered. We put things in order to open up space for fun and to save time which can be better spend on the things we love, instead of digging trough piles of stuff looking for our things.
