Cleaning Music

[SwimOdin]

Do you put on music when you clean? If so, what’s the song or genre?

Ska for me, the high tempo keeps me moving.

Just my normal background noise. I kinda like cleaning...just not folding clothes

No I prefer the TV to be on

What is this "cleaning" you speak of?

I don't really do specific music for cleaning. If there's nothing on for general background noise, I might turn to the soundscapes channel on TV or a lofi channel on youtube just for something. 

Marathons of 'Hoarding: Buried Alive' playing in the background make me feel better about whatever stupid mess I'm fighting with though.  I may have just dealt with an entire army of invasive cat toys the kitten has scattered around the room like land mines waiting for an unsuspecting foot to find them but at least I don't use a 5 gallon bucket in a hallway as a toilet.

I alternate between New Wave and Electronic music loud enough to hear from the other room

I feel this should have been posted already.

I just go on spotify and search "cleaning"

Well my current hyperfixation on doing anything has been watching Harry Potter marathons...this has been going on since October. 

 

But if it's music, its whatever song plays on my Spotify Playlist that has over like 96.5 hrs of music. 🤷‍♀️

I just finished the full cast audiobook version of the Deathly Hallows. It's my new favorite way to consume the series, as nothing in the books is missed. I highly recommend it. It's actually a great thing to listen to while cleaning.

Actually, I think boring mundane cleaning tasks are the best time to listen to audiobooks.

My adhd brain can't pay attention to audio books sadly

I usually let the voices have their say while I'm cleaning. It's kind of Therapeutic.
