There's no use in denying it. Housework is called a chore for a reason! There are always a million things that you'd rather be doing than cleaning but it's a necessary evil, so we thought we'd see what tips we could find to make it a little more enjoyable. 

Short of hiring a professional cleaner, we think these are the best ways to love your living room chores and embrace your bedroom cleaning.

Take a look and see if you'll dread your weekend duties a little less!

1. Pop the television for some background noise while you clean. Just don't put anything too good on!

2. Open a window before you start to get some fresh air. Don't forget that cleaning product fumes will affect you

3. Try adding something like a cinnamon stick or some lavender to your vacuum cleaner bag. It will smell divine!

5. Make sure you treat yourself after tasks to give yourself an incentive to carry on. Cleaning the kitchen worktop is worth some chocolate, surely?

6. You could try feigning illness to make a partner take on some of the duties now and then. Cheeky, we know!

7. Plan a dinner party so the pressure of entertaining will make you finish your chores! It will also be a nice treat afterwards

8. Turn your chores into a workout. Really go for it, then don't bother with the gym!

9. Set up an incentive system to make the kids help. Pocket money is always a good bribe

10. Tying dusters to your shoes actually does work on wood flooring. Plus, you'll forget you're cleaning!
