How does Carolyn Scott's collaboration with BetterCleans revolutionize family cleaning routines?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. My collaboration with BetterCleans is all about turning cleaning from a stressful “adult chore” into real-life play and shared responsibility for the whole family.

Instead of kids “getting in the way,” I show parents how to adapt tasks so little ones can safely help: matching socks, sorting laundry by lights/darks, spraying lower window panes, sweeping with a kid-sized dustpan, or “fluffing” pillows while you dust. These become fine-motor, sensory, and problem‑solving activities, not punishments.

We also reframe the language around cleaning—using words like “challenge” and focusing on teamwork and pride—so kids feel engaged rather than ordered around. Add simple structure (like Montessori-style “a place for everything” and tidy-up games with timers), and cleaning turns into short, teachable moments that fit naturally into daily family life.

Would you like ideas tailored to your kids’ ages and your home setup?
