Also Good For Summer, Fall, And Winter Cleaning

People would be a lot more into Spring Cleaning if there were a mascot and some sweets involved.

Christmas has Santa and cookies. Easter has the Bunny and chocolate. Halloween has jack-o-lanterns and caramel apples, not to mention every candy imaginable. You know what Spring Cleaning has? A serious PR problem, that’s what.

Sure, I know it’s not a holiday, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be treated like one! Think about it. Instead of being met with groans and whining when you announce that it’s time to get the house into shape, you’d have a laughing, cheering family excited about chores! What’s not to like about that?

All we need to do is take a few cues from the old favorites. We need to make up a nice story with a magical twist. How about a tale of an enchanted door-to-door vacuum cleaner sales man? We’ll call him “Willy”! Yeah, and every year around this time, Willy goes door-to-door to each and every house in the world with his magic, uh, Dyson DC25 Upright All-Floor Ball Vacuum! Of course! It’ll be perfect for explaining to children young and old that “attention must be paid to cleanliness” as he vacuums floors of all types with the 220 constant airwatt suction power of the Dyson. Kids all over will be taking turns putting the Root Cyclone Technology to use as the vacuum glides through the house on its easy-to-steer ball. And when all the chores are done, Willy will pull out the Easy Empty Bin for emptying, but instead of dust, dirt, and hair, it’ll be full of chocolate frosty milkshakes! How’s that for delicious magical wonder?

Hmm. Come to think of it, perhaps it’s better if the milkshakes were more of a thing you drink while you clean. The last thing we need is a kid thinking they’re going to get a frozen treat and ending up with a mouth full of pet dander. But still, it’s a start, right? A few tweaks, maybe a couple of songs about house cleaning, and we’re set. All we’ll need after that is for Congress to make it an actual national holiday. Good thing they aren’t busy right now or anything.
