My husband and I have a fun hack to keep the house spotless – and it stops fights too
A COUPLE who cleans together stays together.
At least that’s the case for one husband and wife team who have turned their cleaning chores into a festive affair – no messy fights here.
Shan, one-half of the dusting duo behind (@shanndetrick) explained how “my husband and I do something in our marriage called cleaning parties, and here’s how it goes.”
The TikToker, who uses cleaning as her couple’s counseling, gave viewers gave a glimpse of the home which included a grey sectional sofa with white stitching and an open-plan kitchen.
The cleaning party seemed to already be underway as a box of opened disinfectant wipes was sitting on the kitchen counter.
“Once a week we blast music and spit up the workload to clean our house,” she explained as her husband could be seen getting his home cleaning duties done with a couch pillow in his arms.
“It’s no one person’s responsibility to clean the house since we both work full-time jobs,” she continued as she showed off a closet with six rows stuffed with boots, shoes, and heels.
She also gave a close-up view of the neatly organized kitchen appliances.
The TikToker referred to their fun cleaning parties as something that makes her life easier – and helps the pair avoid fights.
“This works for us and helps us avoid arguments,” she informed viewers as her husband swept the hardwood floors.
Followers of the couple – who prefer dusting over drama – had some comical comments for the cleaning pair.
“I do this with my kids, but they are forced into it like a prisoner of war camp. The music drowns out the whining,” one seemingly tough mom joked.
“Haha,” the pro-cleaning creator laughed.
Another follower explained that they do the same thing together – but they added something to the mix: “We do this too. It includes some day drinking in addition to cleaning.”
