Imagine the end result

“Imagine yourself living in a space that only contains things that spark joy.” – Marie Kondo

Of course, there can’t be a list of cleaning motivation quotes without an appearance of the queen of decluttering – Marie Kondo. I’ve already detailed my experience with the KonMari method here. And now let’s use her wisdom to get inspired to do the cleaning!

Get started!

“The way to get started is to quit talking and to start doing.” – Walt Disney

Now, Walt Disney might not be the first name you think of when it comes to decluttering topics. And yet, you might as well use this wise quote of his as a spring cleaning motivation quote!

We can think about our issues and plans as long as we want, but only once we actually get active do we make progress!

Taking care of yourself means also taking care of the space you live in!

Go for clarity!

“Clutter is the enemy of clarity”

Do you even need any more motivational quotes for cleaning after this one?

Who couldn’t use more clarity in their life? So just start with your cleaning and decluttering! It will probably help you through other issues in your life as well – Win-win!

Change your mindset!

“It is by putting one’s own house in order that one’s mind-set is changed.” – Marie Kondo

With this cleaning motivation quote, Marie Kondo drives the same point home as the quote above: you can improve your mindset by improving your environment. It means working through old clutter (and patterns!). You’ll be surprised!

Find happiness

“Happiness.. is a freshly cleaned house”

Reading this quote, I can see, smell, and feel my freshly cleaned home already – the perfect motivation to finally start!

Think of your why!

“The objective of cleaning is not just to clean, but to feel happiness living within that environment.” – Marie Kondo

Yes, it’s the third quote of Marie Kondo in this list of motivational cleaning quotes. But you know what? She just knows what she’s talking about!

When you have a hard time cleaning because it feels like a chore, just keep in mind that you’re not doing it because you simply have to. You do it to create a happier life for yourself and everyone else living there!
